I love using naan flatbreads for pizza crust because it makes perfectly portioned pizzas. If you’re making these for your family and friends, it’s easy for each person to customize their own flatbread. I love adding extra vegetables to mine but you can also go lighter on the veggies if you have picky eaters!
These naan pizzas pair perfectly with grapefruit bubly™ sparkling water from Publix! The citrus flavor creates a nice balance with the savory flavors of the pizza! It’s been my go-to summer beverage and I love it paired with this recipe! If you’re not familiar with bubly™ sparkling water, it’s a sparkling water made with natural fruit flavors and it doesn’t contain any calories or sweeteners. They’re so delicious and refreshing; even our 9-year-old loves them!

How to Make Naan Pizza in the Oven
These pizzas are delicious on the grill but if you don’t have a grill, you can make these in the oven instead! To prepare this recipe in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the naan with olive oil and bake for 2-3 minutes. Remove the naan from the oven, then bake the prepared eggplant for 4-5 minutes until softened. Assemble the pizzas as noted above, then bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted.

This pizza looks a-mazing! I typically go for a margarita pizza but this…. yum! We just purchased a Blaze Kamado. It makes the best fired pizza. I’m going to have to try this recipe next time we make pizza with it.
