Servings and Timing
- Servings: 2
- Prep Time: 10 minutes

Variations
- Vegetarian – I skip the chicken and add roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu.
- Extra Spicy – I sprinkle crushed red pepper or add a dash of hot sauce before baking.
- Cheesy Twist – I swap feta for goat cheese or add shredded mozzarella.
- Low-Carb Option – I use a cauliflower crust instead of naan.
- Dairy-Free – I use dairy-free tzatziki and vegan cheese to make it completely dairy-free.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop slices into the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes. I avoid using the microwave because it makes the naan soggy.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, I like prepping the naan pizzas and storing them unbaked in the fridge. When I’m ready to eat, I just bake them fresh.
Can I substitute pita for naan?
Absolutely. I’ve used pita many times—it gives a slightly thinner and crispier base but still tastes great.
What can I use instead of tzatziki?
If I’m out of tzatziki, I use plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice, garlic, and dill as a quick alternative.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Definitely. I just leave out the chicken and add more veggies or plant-based protein like falafel or chickpeas.
How do I keep the naan from getting soggy?
I make sure to lightly toast the naan first and avoid using too much tzatziki before baking. I save extra sauce for drizzling afterward.
Conclusion
This Tzatziki Chicken & Veggie Naan Pizza is my go-to when I want something fast, fresh, and full of flavor. The crisp naan, juicy veggies, and creamy tzatziki make every bite satisfying. It’s simple enough for lunch and impressive enough to serve to guests.
