Yes, it goes that quick once you gathered your ingredients.

I made lots of favorites, Pepperoni Pizza, Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Mushroom and Onion Pizza and my favorite Thai Peanut Pizza.

These pizzas are great for all sorts of get-togethers, and when you need to feed people fast…

it’s great to have go-to ideas that are easy.

These easy specialty pizzas start with Naan bread. Naan is an oven baked flat bread and is readily available in grocery and warehouse stores.

I shopped at Sams Club and was happy to see they had Naan along with other items I needed to make these pizzas.

It’s all about tradition on game day, right?

If you favorite team is playing, you may wear your favorite shirt or hat to root them on, if you’re playing a game, well maybe you go so far as to not wash certain items so as to not, get rid of the magic that the item seems to hold.

 

 

Whatever the case in our house, pizza is our traditional go-to item.

I mix Ragu® Sauce with other ingredients to create some fun flavored sauces for these pizzas and everyone loved them.

TIPs on making great Naan Pizza

  • Cut heavy toppings like pineapple in smaller pieces so they heat evenly
  • Heat Sauce, it ensures you won’t be waiting for it to get hot while baking.
  • Saute onions and mushrooms with a tablespoon wine for delicious flavor.
  • Drain wet items on paper towels to remove moisture (pineapple, onions, and mushrooms)
  • Bake Pizza on oven rack or metal screens do not bake on a baking sheet as the bread heats the bottom won’t crisp.
  • Pre-bake the Naan for 2 minutes if you prefer your pizza extra crispy
  • Bake at 450 or broil on high for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted completely
  • You can add items like fresh herbs before or after baking

  1. Using naan bread as the basis for a specialty pizza is a great idea! My husband loves pizza, and I want to make him something special for his birthday. I’m not a very good cook, so maybe I’ll order something from a restaurant instead.
