Why You’ll Love Naan Pizza

This Naan Pizza with goat cheese and figs hits all the right notes 🎶! The naan bread 🫓 is brushed with olive oil infused with garlic and parsley, creating a fragrant base that bakes to a golden crisp. Creamy goat cheese 🐐🧀 creates tangy little pockets of flavor, balancing the sweetness of fresh figs and honey 🍯. This perfect little combo gives this flatbread sophisticated old-world charm. Toasted walnuts add an earthy crunch, while a generous handful of micro greens or arugula 🌿 adds a peppery brightness that cuts through the richness. The result is a simple meal that tastes like it was made by a gourmet chef 👩‍🍳—sweet, savory, creamy, and fresh in every bite.

Ingredients

🫓 Naan bread: I purchase pre-made naan bread for a ready-to-eat crust that bakes up crisp on the edges and stays soft and chewy in the middle. It is such a huge time saver!

🫒 Olive Oil: Brushed on before baking, it crisps the naan and carries the flavors of garlic and parsley into every bite.

🧄 Garlic: Infuses the oil with savory depth of flavor, giving the crust a subtle kick that balances the sweetness of figs and honey.

🌿 Parsley: Adds a bright lift so the crust tastes fresh rather than heavy.

🍇 Figs: Floral and juicy, fresh figs add a soul nourishing bite that plays beautifully with tangy goat cheese. 

🐐 Goat cheese: I like to pinch pieces off the roll into bite sized piles to give my naan pizza a rustic look and feel. 

🌿 Microgreens (or Arugula): Adds a bit of crunch, a peppery bite, and a bright pop of color.

🌰 Walnuts: Chopped nuts add crunch and are very grounding next to the softer, sweeter components.

🍯 Honey: I like to drizzle raw honey at the end to tie everything together with a hint of sweetness. 

Gourmet Naan Pizza Flavor Combos to Try

The beauty of this Naan Pizza recipe is that you can try different flavor profiles to find your winning combo. Here are a few must-try’s:

• Peaches & Burrata: Juicy, ripe peaches paired with creamy burrata then finished with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
• Classic Margherita: Sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil-a timeless trio.
• Prosciutto & Arugula: Thinly sliced prosciutto adds savory depth, while peppery arugula and a light olive oil drizzle keep the flavors fresh and balanced. 
• Pear & Blue Cheese: Sweet, tender pear slices contrast with tangy blue cheese, and toasted walnuts add crunch.
• Caramelized Onion & Fontina: Sweet, golden onions with nutty, melty fontina cheese offer a deeply savory, slightly sweet flavor profile.

Variations and Substitutions for Naan Pizza
