Pesto Naan Pizza
Naan (an Indian flatbread) is popping up on store shelves around the country. I've seen it at Target, Costco and my local grocery in the bakery aisle. I've decided they're perfect for individual pizzas! Try The Budget Diet's Pesto Naan Pizza or use your favorite pizza toppings. A Naan pizza crust is ideal for a make your own pizza party...just set out an assortment of sauces and toppings.* It's another frugalicious and fast dinner idea from The Budget Diet girl.

Recipe Notes
*Sauce and topping suggestions: red sauce, pesto, alfredo, bbq, pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, canadian bacon, chicken, onion, bell pepper, olives, mushrooms, italian blend cheese and mozzarella. **Costco sells a very reasonably priced large jar of pesto. If you can't use it all before the expiration, it freezes beautifully!
I’ve entered this recipe in Mr. Food’s search for the ultimate weeknight meal!
I always liked flat/thin crust pizzas better than doughy pizzas. Except for when we order those cheese stuffed crust pizzas from Pizza Hut.

yum! this looks really good. i love pizza, pesto and naan bread! i often make pita bread pizza for my kids, i will have to try this next time.
Naan has definitely replaced the pita pizza crust in our house!
It’s funny, you’d be shocked to know how easy Naan is to make!! This is a great idea… Naan is such a great base for many dishes!
I just made homemade Naan over the weekend, and I put a bunch in the freezer to have on hand for the delicious little pizzas!
I love make your own pizza night! We always have too much left over, so this sounds like a great idea. Thanks!
fyi…Naan freezes really well!
You have no idea how delicious this looks. My kids would absolutely love it, as would I! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Keep the recipes coming 🙂
