Pepperoni flatbread pizza using roasted garlic naan bread and topped with pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, pepperonis and a light coating of parmesan cheese. This traditional flatbread can be drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for an extra Italian flare. This recipe takes regular pizza to a whole new level.
Small flatbread pizzas like this are a great option for weeknight dinners. They are quick, easy and packed with flavor. It is also a great recipe to serve as any easy dinner when hosting, a great meal for birthday parties and is also very kid friendly. A homemade flatbread pizza recipe like this is great because it uses store-bought flatbread and is done in 10-15 minutes from start to finish!
This was inspired by my Pizza Bites recipe on this site, and pairs well with this Homemade French Fries.

Ingredients
- roasted garlic store-bought naan
- pizza sauce
- mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni
- parmesan cheese
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the naan on a prepared baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Evenly spread the pizza sauce on the pieces of naan. Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the pizza sauce.
Evenly spread the pepperoni on top of the cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and grate fresh parmesan cheese on top of the pizza. Cut the pizza and serve.
Hint: use a microplane to grate the parmesan cheese on top of the pizza. This will give a very thin layer of parmesan to add just a little bit of extra cheesy flavor.

FAQ
You can also use pita bread, flatbread, or even a homemade focaccia as a replacement for naan. You can also use a homemade pizza dough, this will have a slightly different baking temperature and time though depending on the pizza dough.

Absolutely! You can cook your air fryer flatbread pizza for 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Keep an eye on your flatbread though since it does cook in a different way, you might find that it will cook faster in the air fryer.
