If you need a quick and tasty meal for a midweek dinner then naan bread pizzas are the perfect solution.
They’re so simple but brilliant for the whole family because you can change up the toppings you put on them to suit everyone’s different tastes. And they’re ready to eat in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 naan bread per person.
I tend to use garlic and coriander naans, but you can use plain if you prefer.
- Tomato sauce.
You can use a jar of tomato pasta sauce, a jar of pizza sauce, or make a quick sauce yourself by cooking some passata with some salt, pepper and mixed herbs.
- Cheese.
You can slice up a ball of mozzarella, or use grated mozzarella from a packet. Or if you prefer you can grate some cheddar and use that instead.
- Toppings.
You can keep the pizza really simple with just the tomato sauce and cheese, or add your favourite toppings. I used red pepper and pepperoni on mine.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Preheat the oven to around 180 degrees.
- Put the naan breads on a big baking tray and then spread them with the tomato sauce. You can go right up the edges or leave a bit of a crust, it’s up to you.
- Add the cheese over the top of the sauce.
- Add on your favourite toppings.
- Cook the pizzas for around 10 minutes, until the cheese starts to bubble a bit.
- Cut up and serve. You can have these by themselves, or serve them with salad or chips.
And there you go, a tasty dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. We sometimes have these for lunch too, when we want something a bit more filling that a sandwich. They’re so quick to put together and feel like a real treat.

I love naan bread pizza. I honestly think it is better than normal pizza base.
I’m one of those people that loves pineapple on a pizza, I think it’s so yummy.
It’s the combination of the texture and the flavour that makes naan bread as a bass so good I think. I can’t say I agree with you on the pineapple though!
Oh my gosh… yes please!!! This looks so good. We do make pizzas, but I love that you are using naan bread as the base. I have to try this once we get our kitchen in. It’s going to the top of my list. #blogtober20 xx
I love nan bread and love pizza have never thought of combining the two before
These look so good and something that my girls couple make themselves for lunch. What a great idea. x
