Naan Pizza

Yes, you read that correctly. It’s Naan Pizza made by Tandoor Chef. Savory Indian naan bread and pizza unexpectedly make such a great combo. If you love Naan bread, you’ll love these pizzas!

These pizzas are all natural, vegetarian, hand-stretched, and fired in a real Tandoor oven for authentic flavor. They are also shaped like Naan bread and fit easily in your hand. I really enjoy vegetarian pizzas so I was super excited to try Naan Pizza.

Tandoor Chef sent me these 4 pizzas to review – Margherita, Roasted Eggplant, Spinach and Paneer Cheese, and Cilantro Pesto. They dare to fuse Indian and Italian flavors together.

Margherita – This had great flavor with a sweet and mildly spicy tomato sauce to back it up. If you love Margherita pizza, which traditionally has tomatoes, basil, and white cheese, then you’ll love this Naan pizza.

Roasted Eggplant – At first, I had low expectations for this flavor, although I love eggplant. Eggplant on pizza is not a popular topping. To my surprise, it was love at first bite! The eggplant on this pizza is like an eggplant cutlet with crunchy breading. Even my husband, who hates eggplant, really enjoyed this. I would definitely buy this in the store.

Spinach and Paneer Cheese – Paneer cheese is a common cheese in South Asian cuisine. It’s  a meaty cheese, usually cubed in Indian food. This flavor tasted quite similar to the Margherita pizza because they both have the same sweet and spicy sauce. It was good but not memorable. I couldn’t really taste the paneer cheese.

Cilantro Pesto – This was probably my least favorite flavor. The pesto and cilantro flavors were faint.

Naan pizzas are frozen and heat up quickly in about 12 minutes in the oven. One pizza feeds one person. Look out for it at Whole Foods or your local, natural grocery store.

I will be stocking up on the Margherita and Roasted Eggplant Naan Pizzas. It’s a nice change from the usual vegetarian pizzas I get.
