Ingredients You’ll Need

Grilling naan pizza requires a handful of basic ingredients.ย I purchased all the ingredients I needed for this recipe at Trader Joeโ€™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 donโ€™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. This is a flexible recipe, so feel free to use any toppings youโ€™d like!

  • Store-bought naan: This acts as the pizza crust
  • Olive oil
  • Pizza sauceย or marinara sauce
  • Toppings: Shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni. Feel free to use any of your favorite toppings, like precooked Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, spinach, peppers, ham, pineapple, onions, etc., to swtich up the flavor
  • 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

  1. Add a generous layer of olive oil to the undersides of the naan bread.
  2. Top with marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
  3. Place the naan on your oiled and preheated grill. Grill on the lowest setting possible just until the cheese is fully melted. Be careful not to burn! The pizza only takes about 3-4 minutes to grill.
  4. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy warm.

10-Minute Grilled Pepperoni Pizza

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ˜‹ The EASIEST and FASTEST pizza you will ever make!! If you've never tried making pizza on the grill, you need to try it! It's foolproof, delicious, faster than calling for delivery, and pizza is always a WINNER!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 3 servings

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • ยฝ pound naan, about 3 pieces (I use fresh, not frozen)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ยฝ 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.

Notes

Storage: Naan pizza is best served right away but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or, wrap leftovers in plastic wrap, seal them in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. 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 350ยบF oven.

    Beautiful Lady and wonderful cook! I’m retired at 75 and have taken up cooking. Your recipes inspire me, as they work. You have taken the mechanical/institutional food out of your redipes and made them delicious and easy. I won’t live long enough to cook and enjoy all your wonderful recipes, but I have them saved digitally for me and my family to enjoy for the years ahead.
    I wish you the best of happiness and health. Please be safe.

    1. Thanks for the 5 star review and the compliments! What a very kind and genuine comment and I appreciate it very much. I have tried really hard since 2009 when I started this site to make cooking accessible, approachable, easy enough, but with great-tasting results. I am glad you find my recipes to be just that. And that you have them saved for the future!

  3. 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!

    1. Have a great Labor Day weekend as well! And you’re so right about that smoky char – such great flavor!
