Air Fryer Naan Pizza Ingredients
Any pizza can have so many combinations! I went for a white pizza after having one at a local restaurant! Here’s what you’ll need for this version (more ideas below!):
- Mini naan – you can use the plain, garlic naan or whole wheat naan – any of them work the same. I like them for pizza because they crisp up but are also still fluffy – and much easier than pizza dough!
- Olive Oil – or – Pesto – many white pizzas just use olive oil – or even Alfredo – but I also love pesto – it really becomes the focal point of the dish!
- Mozzarella – I like a combination of fresh mozzarella and shredded – they melt differently and are so good together!
- Seasonings – Minced garlic & Fresh Rosemary – fresh basil would be great as well – the rosemary was so fragrant!
- Optional Toppings – Grate on a little Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes when you serve!

Recipe Variations
I made this a very simple “white” pizza but there are many options and combinations – grab your favorite pizza toppings and go to town!
- Crust – I love using Naan for pizza – but you could also use traditional pizza dough, flatbreads, tortillas or even pita bread
- Vegetables – If you’re adding vegetables – like mushrooms, bell peppers, red onions – it’s good to saute them for a few minutes before hand. You can do in a pan or in the air fryer before you add your naan pizzas. No need to precook toppings like kalamata olives or pineapple.
- Protein – add meats like pepperoni, sausage, shredded chicken, bacon or ham
- Sauces – mix it up by using pizza sauce, alfredo sauce, marinara sauce or even bbq sauce!
- Cheese – No need to just stick with mozzarella – try feta cheese for a salty flavor or goat cheese for a creamy texture
- Seasonings – I just went simple with garlic – but you could add fresh basil, Italian seasoning or even red pepper flakes for a little zip!
How to make naan bread pizza in the air fryer
The best thing about making personal pizza in the air fryer is that everybody can have what they want! My favorite kind of pizza is a white pizza with just olive oil or pesto for a sauce.
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper liners or aluminum foil
- Place mini naan pieces in air fryer basket
- Top with olive oil or pesto (amounts listed are for 2 pizzas)
- Top with fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, garlic and torn rosemary
- Air fry at 350º for 4-5 minutes
- Use spatula and carefully remove pizza from air fryer
- Cut into slices and serve with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes over top
This recipe was made using the Paula Deen Air Fryer.
Tips & FAQs
Greek – pesto, feta, kalamata olives and tomatoes
Taco – ground beef, taco seasoning, onion, bell pepper, queso
Ham & Pineapple – uh – ham & pineapple (haha), mozzarella
BBQ – bbq sauce, pulled pork, red onion, mozzarella
Alfredo – chicken, alfredo sauce, broccoli
CBR – chicken, bacon & ranch
If not adding toppings – it will only take 2 minutes. With cheese to melt – 4 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass storage ones) in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 300º for 3-4 minutes.
I like to do it at 300º – you’re not cooking it too fast or hot so it will burn. It takes a couple minutes longer but it’s better than killing it!
