- Naan bread
- Pizza sauce - use your favorite jarred or homemade marinara sauce works fine too.
- Mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni slices - you can add your favorite pizza toppings as well.
Cooking Tip: If you can't find Naan Bread, try pita bread or a flour tortilla. You could even make a flatbread pizza in the air fryer!
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Pizza
Preheat the air fryer to 375°. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the naan bread. Then add the mozzarella cheese followed by the pepperoni. You can add your favorite pizza seasonings if you want also.
Step 2: Baking Instructions
Place the pizza in the air fryer basket and cook for about 7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 3: Serving Tips
If you're serving this as a main meal, one naan pizza is enough for one person. You can make this a complete meal by adding a tossed salad.
You can serve these as an appetizer for a party or get-together by slicing the naan pizza into quarters. Place small bowls of my pizza dipping sauces alongside the pizza slices for people to enjoy.
Cooking Tips
Here are a few tips for baking pizza in an air fryer:
- I personally own the Hamilton Beach 2.6 Quart Air Fryer. It's a basket type air fryer and it works great for our family. I would like to upgrade to a tray style air fryer in the future.
- If you're going to use homemade pizza dough or store-bought pizza dough, shape the dough and then pre-bake the crust for about 4 minutes. Then add the pizza sauce, cheese and toppings and bake again according to directions.
- If you find that the pepperoni slices or other toppings are flying off while cooking, you can always add more cheese to the top. The weight of the cheese will hold down the toppings. Or try a few toothpicks!
- When removing the pizza from the air fryer, use two spatulas. It can difficult with just one and you don't want the pizza to fall.
Topping Ideas
- Chopped peppers
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Pineapple ??? Yes, I know some people love pineapple on pizza.
- Ground beef, chicken or sweet Italian sausage
- Veggies - your favorite!
- Swap out the pizza sauce and use Alfredo sauce like I do for my Bacon Spinach Alfredo Pizza Recipe.

Do you have any suggestions to make the Naan a little crispier?
Lois says
You could try to cook yours a little longer. I hope that helps.
