I had purchased a few pieces of garlic naan last week, thinking I’d make some Indian food, but time got away from me and I completely forgot about them. I knew I was pushing my luck with the expiration date by waiting much longer so I decided to whip up some flatbread on Sunday afternoon.
I’m not normally a huge fan of white pizza (as they tend to be a little more oily and a little less healthy) but I realized that by making my own, I could keep the oil in check. Plus, the garlic naan was practically demanding to be topped with ricotta…. So this was our fairly simple lunch yesterday!
Tips for the perfect naan pizza
- If you want to lighten this pizza up a bit, you can use whole wheat naan instead of garlic naan. Stonefire makes a great whole wheat naan that is perfect for a pizza crust.
- If you like a crisper pizza crust, pre-bake then naan in the oven for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned, before adding the toppings.
- To get the cheese a little brown, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
- For a kick of spice, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top after cooking!

We doubled the recipe and made two pizzas, one for each of us. We also had a little kale salad on the side, and it was a perfectly filling lunch. Maybe not the “healthiest” but for white pizza, you really can’t get better than this! I was pretty hungry after going to gymnastics so it was nice to have lunch prepared quickly.
We topped ours with red pepper flakes, a bit of parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of basil. This totally hit the spot. I love tomatoes on pizza, especially with the salty feta, creamy ricotta, and gooey mozzarella!
What did you have for lunch yesterday?
This looks simple yet delicious!!
I’ve started the 5:2 diet so yesterday’s lunch was just a yoghurt and a mini protein bar – nothing exciting there!
I’ve never tried a slice of white pizza before, but ricotta, mozz & feta together sounds divine!!

any chance i could get that now for breakfast? hehe seriously! YUM
I’ve never made pizza with naan bread before, but this looks so good! And easy too ๐
I’m sure regular flatbread would work, but I liked that the naan was a little more chewy ๐
YUM!!!! yesterday i was home all day so i snacked all day. i’m bad about sitting down for lunch when i’m home all day since i feel like i eat literally all day haha
I have used naan as a pizza base before, and it sure is wonderful – so your pizza picture has me drooling!
That looks absolutely amazing. Ahhh, the power of cheese!
Naan pizza is the best! We had sweet potato gnocchi and a chopped salad for lunch yesterday. So good!
We had white pizza this weekend too! 3 cheeses and we even put a little sauteed kale on top, it was a delicious combo! Lunch yesterday was leftovers of said pizza, haha.
Yum!! I love kale on pizza ๐ One of my favorite restaurants does a kale & pine nut pizza and it is awesome!
This sounds amazing! I LOVE using naan as pizza crust. I’m definitely going to have to make this on one of the days when I am having major cheese cravings ๐
Looks like a fabulously delicious lunch to me!!! I would have to sub the cheese for something else… like a cashew cheese (def not the same as ricotta, but my sad tummy intolerances would kill me if not!) — but I am a huuuge naan fan so I am super into this. And for lunch yesterday I had a big kale salad with some Brussels sprouts and acorn squash – yum!
Mmm I bet this would be good with marinara, roasted veggies, and nutritional yeast!
Yummy Yummy! I love using naan or pita to make pizzas. So delicious ๐
love it, simple and delicious ๐
I love ricotta cheese, so anytime a pizza incorporates it I’m a happy camper!
Now this is a recipe I could handle! ๐ It looks so tasty!!
I neeeeed to make this. So simple and delicious looking
Yum, I love a good naan pizza! I agree with you about ordering white pizzas; they’re not usually as healthy but your version looks light enough to enjoy without the guilt!
This looks SO good, Liz. I want it for lunch right now! My lunches lately have entailed lots of peanut butter and banana sandwiches which are delish but not on this level ๐
naan pizzas are so fun!
What do you call a Menage a Trois in the CHEESE WORLD?!
