How We came up with this recipe
We’re all total converts to a quick homemade pizza recipe because they’re still super convenient and delicious but they’re also fresh tasting and don’t contain loads of preservatives.
I created this recipe with simplicity in mind, so we tested this with passata, garlic and oregano as the pizza sauce, spread over naan breads with a cheesy topping, plus the extra toppings of your choice (my favourite is pepperoni and red onion).
We knew we were onto a winner when we discovered the prep took about 2 minutes and then they cooked perfectly in the oven in 10 minutes, with that same oozing, golden, cheesy topping that we all love so much in pizza.
If you have the energy you can make a side salad for lunch or add some homemade chips for dinner.
But when time is short and tummies are rumbling, these pizzas are always an easy win.
Naan Bread Pizza Ingredients Notes
- Naan breads – These come in all shapes and sizes in the supermarket. Just buy what best suits you as this recipe works with them all. You could even try garlic or flavoured ones for a little variety
- For the pizza sauce – You will just need passata, garlic powder and oregano. Low cost and healthy!
- Mozzarella – If you buy ready-grated you will save yourself loads of time
- Toppings – I use red onion and pepperoni but it’s your choice!
How to Make Naan Bread Pizzas
- Turn the oven to 220C. Preheat 2 baking sheets.
- Make your sauce by mixing the passata, garlic and oregano. Spread over the naan.
- Add the cheese and toppings.
- Carefully remove to the hot trays, pop your pizzas on and put them back into oven. Bake for about 10 mins until crispy and golden.
Substitutions
- Toppings – You can go for your favourites here, such as ham, peppers, cooked chicken – anything goes
Leftovers
In the fridge In the doubtful event of pizza leftovers, you can keep these in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat again in the microwave or wrapped in foil in the oven.
In the freezer The pizzas freezes quite well too. Defrost them thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or reheat from frozen in the oven. Covering them with foil will stop them from burning at the edges.
Top tip
Naan breads are quite soft, but if you heat your baking sheets in the oven before adding your pizzas top, this will help to crisp up the bases!

FAQs
I can only urge you to try it and see what you think. We’re going for easy shortcut, delicious taste, and it definitely ticks those boxes – and it is honestly such a good alternative!
There’s also French Bread Pizzas, Pizza Bagels, Puff Pastry Pizza or pittas to try if you like too.
You can cook your naan naked for 5 minutes before adding the topping if you want really crispy bases.
I do sometimes do this, but on the return to the oven with the toppings you need to watch carefully that the edges of the ‘pizzas’ don’t burn as they can get over cooked.

Such a great shortcut and fun to for little ones to make their own pizzas. Also really good to make as a quick lunch when working from home.
Loving your recipes so much. I have an important query as I’ve googled and still can not find the right answer in after. In Australia tomato passata and puree seem to be the same thing. The passata/puree is quite a runny sauce, would it perhaps be tomato paste I’m after? The thick concentrated paste? For example in your tortellini lasagne, it calls for passata and puree, which confuses me as its the same thing here. Thank you again.
A big hit with my family.
Super quick, easy and tasty. Very low maintenance dinner but tasty and the children loved making their own, fab!
We had these tonight, they were absolutely delicious! My boys loved getting involved adding their own toppings too! Clean plates all round. Thanks so much for yet another winning recipe!
About the fourth recipe I’ve cooked from this site. Needed a quick tea and you never disappoint. Delicious!! Will definitely be making these as a Friday night fakeaway, tastier and cheaper!! Thanks for another great receipt
Huge Friday night hit! Super fast & easy and best of all delicious!
I made these for hubby & I..
amazing!!
however I added Indian spices to the tomato base and topped with mushrooms/peppers/red onion/chorizo/mango chutney with a salad – so good that I bought naan breads again with this weeks shop so thanks for the idea.
Made these this evening for the family, served with side salad and potato salad, went down a treat.
Had these tonight for dinner with the side salad suggested and added tomatoes. Family favourite! 😍
