When you're craving a pepperoni pizza but maybe not the associated calories or effort to make it, then why not try my easy pepperoni flatbread pizza instead?
This flatbread pepperoni pizza is super quick and easy to make.
Unlike my 30 minutes easy flatbread pizza recipe where I make the flatbread, here I use shop bought naan bread instead.
Plus making this easy pepperoni flatbread pizza with naan bread is a much faster and more convenient option compared to ordering takeaway pizza.
You don't have to wait for the delivery to arrive or drive to a pizza place.
Why not grab some naan bread from your local shop and make yourself this pepperoni naan pizza tonight?
This healthy flatbread pizza recipe uses naan bread instead of traditional pizza dough because it's a lighter and healthier alternative.
Naan bread is typically thinner and contains fewer calories and carbohydrates.
I make my own pizza sauce here, it's thick and delicious. It's also really quick and simple and doesn't contain all the additives you might find in a jar of shop bought sauce.
You can also control the amount of cheese and use leaner pepperoni slices or even substitute them with turkey pepperoni for a lower-fat alternative too.
I promise you that this delicious homemade flatbread pepperoni pizza recipe is just as delicious as an actual pepperoni pizza.

FAQ's
Do I Have To Make The Homemade Pizza Sauce?
No. You can just use shop bought pizza sauce instead if you do not have the time or the ingredients. If you do, bear in mind the nutritional label will be invalid.
Can You Make Naan Pizza Ahead?
Absolutely. You can make these pizza's prior to baking them and freeze them for a quick weeknight dinner. When you don't want to do any cooking!
How To Store Naan Pizza?
Once baked the pepperoni naan pizza can be stored in the fridge covered for 1-2 days. It's possible to eat the pizza cold as a snack or for lunch too. The longer you leave it in the fridge though, the naan dough might become soggy.
Other Toppings?
The pizza is completely versatile and you can use any toppings you like. Try different types of cheese or meat. Make it vegetarian by using vegan pepperoni instead.

Notes
** If you don't have time to make your own you could just buy a jar of pizza sauce. But I seriously recommend making your own as it doesn't contain all the additives a shop bought ones does and the nutritional label will be invalid. Any leftover homemade tomato sauce can be stored in your fridge for up to a week in a sealed jar or can be frozen.
