Ingredients for Naan Grilled Pizza
Grilling naan pizza requires a handful of basic ingredients. This is a flexible recipe, so feel free to use any toppings you’d like!
- Naan
- Olive oil
- Pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni
- Fresh herbs – optional, for garnishing
Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.
How to Make Naan Pizza on the Grill
- Add a generous layer of olive oil to the undersides of the naan bread.
- Top with marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
- Place the naan to your oiled and preheated grill.
Grilling Tip
A huge tip here is that you want to keep your grill on the lowest heat setting it has. My grill is a fiery beast and so even on the lowest heat setting, it’s still about 600F. The reason you want a low heat setting is because you don’t want the undersides to char before the cheese melts.
Pizza on my grill literally takes about 4 minutes. Watch them very closely because all grills and ingredients vary. Look at those grill marks after just 4 minutes.
Pizza FAQs
I purchased all the ingredients I needed for this recipe as Trader Joe’s. This is not a sponsored post but I am just shouting them out in case you live near one and want to make your life easier with one-stop-shopping. If you don’t live near one, most grocery stores now sell naan in the bakery section. I tend to see it more in the bakery areas rather than in the bread aisle but all stores vary.
I kept things extremely classic and basic with good ‘ole pepperoni and cheese but really the sky is the limit. Precooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, peppers, ham and pineapple for a Hawaiian pizza, onions, or whatever kind of pizza toppings you love!
Yes, very easily! I used half of the one-pound package of naan which makes three good-sized personal pizzas but you could use all six pieces if you’re making it for a bigger group and then double all the other ingredients. My daughter loved these pizzas and never says no to classic pepperoni pizza and asked me to make them again soon. Gladly since they are so amazingly fast and easy!
Yes, although grilled pizza on naan bread is best enjoyed hot off the grill. However, you can make a double batch now, store the leftovers in the fridge, and enjoy cold or reheated in the days to come.
Storage Instructions
In the fridge: Seal in an airtight bag and refrigerate up to 5 days.
In the freezer: Wrap in plastic wrap, seal in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Reheat pizzas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until warm. You can also reheat naan pizza gently on the grill or in a 350ºF oven.

10-Minute Grilled Pepperoni Pizza
Ingredients
- ½ pound naan, about 3 pieces (I use fresh, not frozen)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup marina sauce
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pepperoni
- fresh herbs for garnishing such as basil, parsley, cilantro, etc., optional and to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to the lowest heat setting available.
- Evenly distribute the olive oil to the bottom side of each piece of naan and use your hands to rub it in and coat each piece very well.
- Evenly distribute the marinara sauce to the top side of each piece of naan.
- Evenly sprinkle the cheese to each piece of naan.
- Evenly distribute the pepperoni to each piece of naan.
- Oil the grill grates and place the naan onto the grill, close the lid, and allow the pizza to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Make sure your grill is on the lowest possible heat setting or the bottom of the naan will char before the cheese melts. Check early and often so they don’t burn since all grills and ingredients vary.
- Remove pizzas from the grill, optionally garish with herbs, and serve immediately. Pizza is best warm and fresh.

Thanks and enjoy your holiday weekend!
What a fantastic idea for naan!!! We love doing pizza on the grill because of that smoky char that you just can’t get in a regular oven. I do see naan regularly in most large chain grocery stores (even Wal-Mart ). I love this! Have a great Labor day weekend!
Have a great Labor Day weekend as well! And you’re so right about that smoky char – such great flavor!
Oh yes ! The lady cooks !
