My personal favorite is to use any fresh veggies I have left in the fridge. It is one of the best ways to clean out the produce drawer while minimizing food waste.
Here are more family-approved ways to add flavor to your cheese pizzas!
- Mini bell peppers
- Zucchini
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Tomatoes
- Butternut Squash
- Pepperoni
- Italian sausage
- Shredded chicken
- Sliced jalapenos
- Black olives
- Red onions
- Mushrooms
- Eggplant
Storing Naan Pizzas
Naan bread pizza is best when made fresh and eaten immediately. This keeps the flatbread crisp, and cheese melted just the way we like.
If desired, the naan pizzas can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days in a covered container then reheated.
The pizza ingredients can also be stored in the fridge, assembled and enjoyed chilled. Similar to a pizza lunchable, this is a great option when packing this recipe in a lunch box.
Reheating Instructions
Reheat by placing back into a preheated oven or under the broiler to crisp the flatbread. You can also microwave to reheat but be mindful that the naan may be soggy.
Substitutions & Variations
- Spread the pizza with pesto, fire-roasted tomatoes or alfredo sauce instead of pizza sauce.
- Drizzle with barbecue sauce or ranch dressing for a fun flavor.
- Omit the red pepper flakes if sensitive to spice.
- Sauté or roast vegetables instead of adding to the pizza raw.
- Season with fresh basil, Italian seasoning, garlic or onion powder instead or in addition to oregano.
- Always top with cooked proteins due to the short baking time.
- Keep vegetarian by omitting meat as a pizza topping.
- Make dairy free and/or vegan by topping with a dairy free cheese alternative or omitting cheese and only topping with veggies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cook for 8 minutes after topping with sauce, cheese and any additional ingredients. For a doughier crust, cook for 6 minutes. You can also bake the crust for 5 minutes then top with toppings and add back to the oven for an additional 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted if extra crispy crust is desired.
Serve mini naan pizza as is or pair with a side salad or soup for a more satisfying meal. These pizzas can also be turned into a side dish by cutting into slices and pairing with any chicken, beef or pork entree. Topping with sauce and cheese such as grated parmesan then sprinkling with garlic powder is another great side option to serve alongside pasta dishes like our Gluten Free Lasagna, Gluten-Free Baked Ziti or Ground Chicken Pasta.
If you have leftover pita, you can serve alongside any entree such as soups, casseroles and pasta dishes. The pita can also be used as a wrap by layering cheese, deli meat and your favorite deli toppings. Toast or broil the pita to serve with leafy green, tuna or chicken salad as another way to use up leftovers.
Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- Line the baking tray with foil to make for an easy clean-up.
- Be adventurous by trying a new pizza topping every time you make naan pizzas at home.
- To make the pizza crust extra crispy, bake for 5 minutes before you add the toppings. Be sure to set a kitchen timer when baking these pizzas to prevent burning the crust or toppings.

Did you use a toaster oven or regular oven to bake these, and how long?
Create Kids Club says
Hi Chris! I used the regular oven and baked for about 5 minutes. A toaster oven would work great too! I hope you enjoy!
