What Is Naan Pizza?

Naan pizza is a fusion dish that uses naan bread as a base instead of traditional pizza dough. Originating from Indian cuisine, naan is a soft and fluffy flatbread that’s perfect for holding all the cheesy, saucy, and savoury toppings that make pizza so satisfying.

What sets naan pizza apart is its unique texture: slightly chewy, lightly crispy on the edges, and deliciously tender in the middle. It’s a fantastic choice for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or even impromptu dinner parties. You can dress it up or down, depending on your taste and what you have in your fridge.

Why Naan Pizza Should Be Your Go-To Dinner

Here’s why naan pizza is about to become a staple in your meal plan:

  • Quick & Easy: No need to knead dough or wait for it to rise. Just grab your favourite naan bread (like the fresh and authentic options available at Taza), and you’re halfway there.

  • Customizable: Vegetarian? Meat lover? Gluten-free? No problem. With countless naan pizza recipes, you can tailor your pizza to suit any dietary preference.

  • Great for Leftovers: Got leftover chicken tikka or roasted veggies? Use them as toppings for your naan bread pizza and reduce food waste.

  • Perfect Portions: Each piece of naan bread makes a personal-sized pizza, ideal for individual servings.
