Mini naan pizzas are the easiest way to enjoy homemade pizza without any dough prep or waiting time. Using store-bought naan as the base, you just add your favorite toppings and pop them in the air fryer. The result? Crispy, golden crusts with bubbly, melty cheese in under 10 minutes.

These are ideal for busy weeknights, after-school snacks, or fun family dinners where everyone gets to customize their own pizza. Even picky eaters love this recipe because they can stick to what they know—plain cheese, pepperoni, or whatever they prefer. It’s a great solution for feeding different tastes without extra work.

Plus, clean-up is a breeze. No floury counters or sticky rolling pins—just fast, fuss-free cooking that delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Pair with a side salad or veggies for a complete meal that everyone will happily eat.

What Equipment You’ll Need

• Air fryer
• Spoon or small spatula

Storage & Reheating Guidelines

• Storage: Store leftover naan pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Top Tips

• Preheat Your Air Fryer: A hot air fryer helps the naan get crispy faster.
