Pizza. I love it. Who doesn’t? Naan bread? Same thing. So, you can imagine my excitement when I first learned about frozen naan bread pizza. How could I not be ecstatic over a blend of two chewy, delicious foods? Plus, this hybrid takes away the worst part of pizza-making.
Who am I kidding? The main reason we all prefer delivery is because the dough is such a pain in the ass to make! But now, thanks to naan bread, that’s no longer an issue. You don’t even need to cook it if you’re feeling lazy and just want something quick — like me.
Frozen naan bread pizza isn’t some sad attempt at putting more junk in the frozen food aisle; it’s living proof that our world is evolving into something great when it comes to what we put in our bellis. This convenience-craving lifestyle almost makes us forget how amazing and versatile food can really be.
What is Frozen Naan Bread Pizza?
Frozen naan bread pizza has been blessed with convenience by blending frozen meals with soft South Asian textures. If you compare its crust to regular old dough, you’ll find that naan bread has a softer texture but still offers a little bit of crispiness on the outside once baked or grilled.
So while ordering takeout or delivery gives us a sense of comfort from traditional foods being served up again usually greasy ones at that with this hybrid creation, we’re able to keep up with modern trends.
Naan bread has been around for centuries and is still used to this day, so you can really see how its soft palate pairs up great with something as universally liked as pizza.
Frozen naan bread pizza isn’t the first food combo to be cooked up. The history of regular old naan bread dates way back to ancient India, while pizza has more of a modern feel coming from Italy. It wasn’t until recently that these two were experimented with together — and I’m glad they did it.

Why Choose Frozen Naan Bread Pizza?

For those nights when laziness takes over or you have some people come over unexpectedly, this will save your life.
Versatility
You can never go wrong with this hybrid if you’re feeling like eating something breakfast-worthy even though it’s midnight outside.
With naan as your canvas, you can let your imagination run wild. Who says toppings have to be traditional? Don’t limit yourself! From classic Margherita to even chicken tikka masala (yes, you read that right), there are no rules here.
Healthier Options
If health is what you’re after which is always just an excuse because who doesn’t love greasy food? choosing naan bread as a base might still lead you down a path of happiness.
Made with whole grains, instead of the usual stuff that fills our stomachs with regret at night when we’re trying not to sleep on our sides because our stomachs hurt from that fourth slice, it offers more fiber and nutrients than traditional pizza dough ever could.
And if you’re one of those “I’ll just eat salad” pizza-orderers but then end up eating more pizza than usual just to prove yourself wrong, you can even control your own topping portions with this hybrid.
