For delicious homemade pizza without the work and in a lot less time, Naan Pizza to the rescue. Adjust this for allergies as you need.
I am always looking for shortcut toddler meals that are super doable for most families—and that help me feed my kids even when life is chaotic—and this easy pizza for kids is a favorite.
The method is fast, the crust is tender and easy for littles to chew, and the toppings are versatile…making Naan Pizza a real hit of a kid-friendly recipe.
Why this Recipe Works
By using mini naan bread as the crust, you can speed up the process of making pizza—with any toppings your kids like. This is one of fastest ways to make homemade pizza even easier.

Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to make Naan Pizza.
- Mini naan bread: Look for these near tortillas or bread in your supermarket. I like to use mini naan since it’s a perfect personal pizza size, but you can also just cut full size naan into wedges or slices if that’s what you are able to find.
- Pizza sauce: I usually use jarred pizza sauce for ease, but this will also work with a thin layer of Basil Pesto Sauce or my Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce as a more veggie-full option.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: The classic pizza cheese works great here. You can use nondairy cheese if needed, of course!
- Parmesan cheese, pepperoni, sliced mushrooms or peppers, cooked Italian sausage, or other pizza toppings are all options according to your preference. You can even let the kids help add their own toppings, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Follow the same instructions as the info below with a slightly lower temp. See the recipe!
You can prebake the naan for 4 minutes before you add the toppings. That will help a little if you want the crust to be crispier.
Try fresh basil, an arugula salad, fresh cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, red pepper flakes or really any of your favorite toppings. (I sometimes make a salad pizza by topping my pizza with a freshly tossed salad which is so good.)
Best Tips for Success
- Use scissors to cut the Naan Pizza into little bites or strips for easy eating for toddlers.
- If you can’t find mini naan, use full size naan and just cut it into wedges or strips.
- Make sure any raw veggies are sliced thinly so they soften in the short cooking time.
