Tip
All air fryers cook differently, and some cook hotter than others. If the pizza is not quite done, air fry it for an extra minute or two.
Substitutions
- Naan bread - use store-bought or make homemade Naan bread.
- Pizza sauce - use BBQ sauce, Alfredo Sauce, or tomato sauce. You can also use marinara sauce drained with a fine mesh strainer.
- Oil - use avocado oil. Brush or spray it on.
- Toppings - use your favorite pizza toppings.
Variations
- Hawaiian - top with diced ham and pineapple.
- Deluxe - add diced salami, mushrooms, and green peppers.

Storage Tips + Reheating
Refrigerator: Store leftover Naan bread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freezer: Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer on the 'Reheat' setting until hot, or in the microwave.
Top tips
- Place the toppings on the Naan bread while it is in the air fryer basket; otherwise, the toppings will fall off when you transfer it to the air fryer.
- If making more than one Naan bread pizza, you will need to make them in batches.
- Keep pizzas warm in the oven until ready to serve.
FAQ's
Pizza dough and Naan are both types of bread, but they are not the same. Homemade pizza dough is made with flour, water, yeast, and salt and baked in an oven, while Naan may include yogurt and is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven or on a griddle.
This pizza is crispy as we brush it with oil and air fry it for 2 minutes before adding the toppings.
