These quick and easy Naan pizzas are smothered with asparagus pesto and topped with decadent goat cheese, oozy fontina, meaty prosciutto and fresh herbs. Spring inspired and downright delicious, these pretty pizzas are sure to please!
What’s happening friends! How was your Easter weekend? I hope it was filled with lots of love and laughter. And delicious food. And possibly a Mimosa or Bloody Mary or two (<– only if you are of legal drinking age of course).
Did the Easter Bunny bring you anything in his basket? Or maybe you got some money in a few eggs?
Our Easter was nice. And quiet. It rained here most of the day which forced us to stay inside in our pajamas, lounge around, and graze on food while we sipped on a couple libations. Dang rain. 😉
It was definitely a relaxing Easter. My MIL played Easter Bunny this year and gave me a very nice gift certificate for a girl’s day and pedicure. She must have seen my feet and noticed they needed some TLC. 😟
Anyways, I have another question for you guys. Are you a thin, pan, or hand-tossed crust pizza type of person?
I am an über thin crust kind of girl, through and through… until it comes to naan pizzas. Naan bread used as a pizza crust is my jam, and I recently realized that I have never shared a naan pizza on this here site. And that I have only shared two pizza recipes to date. Insanity, right?!
No worries, because I am fixing both those things today.
Naan Pizza with Asparagus Pesto, Prosciutto, Fontina & Goat Cheese
These pizzas are spring inspired and downright delish you guys. When Boy was devouring his first slice he said, “This is seriously amazing, Sweet Pea. This should be in a restaurant.” My response was simply, “Yay! Well, they are about to be on the internet, so a restaurant could certainly steal them.” 😏
Lucky for you guys I share the wealth of all things delicious. For free. Hmmm… That totally makes me a do good-er, right?
Sorry, I digress. Back to these pizzas – they are creamy, cheesy, meaty, a smidgen salty, nutty, herbaceous, a touch garlicky and perfectly savory. All the contrasting warm and cold toppings piled onto a crispy, fluffy, carb-a-licious naan bread makes for one seriously scrumptious pizza.
Trust and believe, you need this palatial pizza in your life. 
But, not only is this pizza on point in the taste department, it is also a breeze to throw together since you aren’t making your own dough.
#NaanForTheWin.
Use a food processor to whip together some asparagus pesto, slather it on some naan, top with cheese, garlic and shallots; bake, top with prosciutto and fresh herbs; and devour.
Wham, bam, thank you ma’am.
Pizza heaven you are mine. 
Before you run off to the store to purchase all the naan bread they have to offer, I have a few notes for you:
- If raw asparagus pesto freaks you out, which it shouldn’t because you are baking the pizza, you can absolutely make roasted asparagus pesto. I don’t judge… or I’ll try not to. 😉 Simply roast the asparagus on a sheet pan in a 400 degree F. oven for 10-15 minutes and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before proceeding with the instructions as directed.
- If you want to make prosciutto roses like you see here, simply take a small slice of prosciutto and wrap it around your finger. Voila. Prosciutto roses.
- Balsamic vinegar drizzled on this pizza before serving is delicious. I didn’t do so in these pictures because I’m all about the pretty, and brownish vinegar drizzled on top does not a pretty picture make. But if you aren’t taking pictures, you should try this pizza with some balsamic. SO Good!
Add these quick and easy naan pizzas to your dinner rotation. I promise you are going to love them! Until next time friends, Cheers – to exquisite pizza.

- For the Asparagus Pesto: To the bowl of a food processor add: asparagus, garlic, pine nuts, basil, parmesan, lemon juice and ½ tsp salt. Pulse until combined. Add in asparagus and process until a paste forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and process until just combined. Taste and adjust for seasoning. *With the motor running, slowly add in more olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.

So glad you had a nice Easter! Ours was low key and dinner at my mom’s house. And this pizza is all kinds of amazing! Love the prosciutto roses and asparagus pesto! Looks so fresh and delicious!
Oh my god! How stunning and beautiful this naan pizza looks and sounds, Cheyanne! That asparagus pesto is so flavorful, and I am so much LOVE with those prosciutto roses. YUM! Happy weekend my dear! 🙂 <3
So our Easter was pretty much like yours with one difference. We didn’t have rain – instead we got the ice rain which made us stay at home as well. And this is a totally delicious pizza, Chey (or I would say Naan bread pretending to be a pizza). Sure you should fix such a gap and make MORE pizzas soon.
There are SO many things going on here that I’m just in love with! I’m a thin curst girl all the way, but I LOVE naan pizza! The asparagus pesto is perfection, the prosciutto roses are absolutely lovely, and the super cute egg shape of the pizza… this is spring all the way! Pinned of course!
Glad you had a nice Easter ! I’ve been obsessed with pizza lately! This looks gorgeous! The prosciutto roses are my favorite!
I love naan and pizza, so I know I’ll go crazy over this pizza 🙂
That Naan pizza almost looks too pretty to eat, ALMOST! Looks delicious and we always eat w our eyes.
anything with pesto and I am all over it!! this looks delicious!
This is one gorgeous pizza I have ever seen. In love with the the recipe. Just can’t wait to try this out 🙂
Sounds like you had a lovely Easter weekend, Cheyanne! I’m getting over a cold so it was a quiet weekend for me. This pizza looks delicious. Great idea using the naan bread. Such a time saver!! Love the pesto and the prosciutto flowers are so pretty!! Pinned!
It was cloudy most of the day here on Easter, and we didn’t get to celebrate with family which was sad … but you can never be sad on Easter because it’s like the most exciting day ever! 😀 Girl, this pizza is a work of ART! Those prosciutto roses … Amazing! Love you and hope your week is going well!! XOXO
Hello my sister from another mother and father ..I adore thin crust too but naan is my exception! Naan bread used as a pizza crust is pretty much my jam too! And – asparagus pesto?!?! How freaking brilliant is that – not to mention totally delicious!
Sometimes, a rainy day that demands you stay indoors in your pj’s, is much much needed! Glad you had a wonderfully relaxing Easter and what a dear your MIL is!
BTW – that GIF is a rockin! xx
OMG THIS IS SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am also a thin-crust girl, but I love naan anything, so naan pizza sounds freaking amazing. 🙂
Well, it looks better than what I would get in most restaurants! I bet it tastes amazing, I put it on the list.
You know all about my Easter and how lovely it was 😉 heehee I love naan and will eat all of it when we go out to an Indian restaurant (heck no, not sharing that!) but have never thought about it as a pizza. Pure genius, my friend! Loving all the toppings too 🙂 Yummy in my tummy!!! ps I need your pedi gift certificate!
I have never had naan pizza and by the looks of this pizza, I need to start here. I agree with Boy–this is sounding like restaurant quality stuff! The prosciutto rosettes are a great touch! Sorry your Easter was rainy. Ours started out overcast but cleared out. I’m just happy that it’s still March and I can see my entire lawn–snow free!!
Sounds like a good Easter to me! We had a relaxing one too, and there was lots of chocolate involved.
I love using a naan bread for a pizza – it makes it so much easier. Love the GIF too!
Oooh, cool GIF! Love it. And this is the most gorgeous pizza ever. It looks like it’s covered in roses. I’ve never seen a more beautiful pizza. And all that green with the pink. You do miracle work, Chey!
I am a thin pan pizza gal! Love the crispy texture and crunch. The prosciutto looks like delicate little roses…I think you’ve nailed pizza perfection!
Girl! you are just an artist!! this is too pretty to eat! and I bet is just delicious!!
This naan pizza looks so pretty, and delicious! I’d love to grab a slice right now!
What an awesome looking pizza! It looks too pretty to eat! I also love how healthy it is. Pinned!
Your Easter sounded nice, and what a nice Mother In Law! I’ll tell you what — this is one of the prettiest flatbread pizzas I’ve ever seen! Those prosciutto “roses” and pretty green asparagus pesto — oh my. Pinning this to try…your photos are just too pretty!
This pizza looks amazing Cheyanne!!! So delicious! Such a great idea to use naan bread too. This is such a great springtime recipe. Love the sound of the asparagus pesto. Yum yum yum! <3
I am singing the praises of this naan pizza! I to am a thin crust lover, I think it allows the other flavors to show up more plus I love the crisp edges! Loving all the flavor combos here, asparagus pesto (I have to try this), prosciutto and goat cheese!!! Take care!
We had a great Easter – came down to Florida for the week and the Easter Bunny found us here. The kiddos are having a blast in the ocean and the pool and we’re enjoying being OFF for a week 🙂
As soon as I get home though, I’m all about this naan pizza! It’s just crying out spring and demanding me to make it. Definitely with balsamic, too, because I won’t be able to pause long enough to snap a picture of this beautiful dinner. Yum – pinned! Have a great week girl!
I so wasn’t a fan of the rain this weekend! Well, except to get rid of some of the pollen … it’s that time of the year with the yellow/ green slime!!! haha Anywho, I had naan for lunch today after I saw this on twitter this morning!! But not with such fun toppings … this is happening soon! Happy happy monday!!
I love naan pizza – so versatile – and will definitely be trying pesto – what a good idea, Cheyanne! Glad you had a mellow Easter – same on my end – an easy day to unwind a bit.
Girl now this is perfectly worthy of being in a gourmet restaurant’s menu!! Love how using naan makes it super simple to make pizza at home and fresh asparagus – yes please!!
OMG. I am totally mesmerized with your video/pic. — gorgeous pizza naan loading up with incredible toppings!!! Oh. My. Seriously. We love having pizza naans around here — saves that step of making the pizza dough. Love all the toppings you’ve got going here and I had to laugh. I made some caprese appetizers for my blog a while back. I also didn’t drizzle on the balsamic because it doesn’t make the best pics. I GET IT. So my mother comments on my blog, says it would be so much better w/some balsamic dear!!! Ha ha. She was right, but not for the pics. Have a great week Cheyanne, glad to hear you had a wonderful and relaxed Easter. Ours was not so much relaxing, but still good. After church we headed down to RI, 2 hour drive, to spend Easter at my sister’s. Egg hunt for the kids, big Easter dinner and a birthday party for five extended family members. My oldest turns 18 next week. We got home at 10 and it was hard getting all the kiddies out the door this a.m. to school! xo
I can imagine why the hubby said it was restaurant quality.. Look at how amazing this is. Absolutely love it and I do not fear raw asparagus at all and I know this would taste divine. Those roses are just so pretty.
Btw… Love mine thin crust..
A great way to spend your weekend. I’m in Cleveland for a competition with my teen and it’s been a stressful week and a teeny bit of fun:). Looking forward to a few days of fun NYC next.
Have a joyful week my dear.
Thanks so much, Asha! And Woot Woot to thin crusts (and naan)! 😉 I hope you teen kicks butt in the competition, my dear! Fingers crossed! Have fun in NYC! I’m jealous, because I know you will be eating some damn good eats! Cheers, doll – to a week as fabulous as you! xo
Cheyanne this is the most gorgeous thing EVER! Sharing <3
Thank you so much, Sue! Everything you create is a work of art, so your comment is a huge compliment, dear! Cheers!! <3
Easter was nice and quiet for us as well!!! We had a great day and then had dinner with friends . . so glad you had a nice day! and this PIZZA!!!! oh my gawd, yummm!!!! love love love the asparagus pesto and give me prosciutto and goat cheese any day and I will be happy! delicious!
So glad you had a nice and quiet Easter, Alice! Those are the best! Thanks so much for the kind comment, friend! Cheers! 😉
The weather was about the same here yesterday, too. We spent the day eating non-Easter food and napping on and off. I’ve been sick and have had no ambition to do any sort of cooking. I have to say, though, these Naan Pizzas make me want to run into the kitchen! I love every single thing about them, Cheyanne!
I hope you feel better soon, Keri- probably all that moving, it’s enough to make anyone sick!! Thanks so much for the comment, girlfriend! Now go nap it out, lady! <3
Oh yeah – this (and everything you do) are restaurant quality offerings! I love everything about this pizza – but what I really can’t handle (in the best possible way) is the fontina and prosciutto! Fabulous! Cheers, my dear! xo Pinned!!
Thank you so much, Annie! You are always so sweet and make my day!! You rock, my friend! Cheers to you and a fabulous day! xo
I love everything about this pizza! I’ve never tried one with naan before, but I’m totally down with not having to make and fight with my own dough – I never win that battle. I could easily eat my weight in prosciutto and fontina and now I can make pretty little prosciutto roses! Cheers! XO
You must try naan pizza, Rachelle! So easy, fluffy and delish! You will love it! And yes to eating ones weight in prosciutto and fontina… I’m with you there! Thanks for the comment love, sweets! xoxo
Cheyanne, you have outdone yourself. This is an Easter Basket of deliciousness on a pizza. You always amaze me with your beautiful pictures. One heck of a talented daughter. So proud mama.
You have to say such kind things because you are my Da Mama! 😉 Love you to the moon and back! xoxoxoxo

Meanwhile, that GIF though. That GIF! If you thought you had me at those roses, you must now know that I am now your Official Food Devotee 4 Lyfe bc of this naan pizza gif gloriousness.
Lady, or Sweet Pea, this is so much better than a restaurant… because all of us can just pull up this gif and watch it for an instant mood booster. LOVE.
Happy Monday, Cheyanne! Now where can I make a reservation? 😉

Aw, Cheyanne. You’re the best! 🙂 Seriously, you inspire me to be more creative in the kitchen. I’m edging towards some more flair a la NSN. 😉 If you ever come to my neck of the woods, there’s a place set for you already. Much love to ya, Sweet Pea. 😉
Sounds like you had a relaxing Easter! And what a fun gift of a pedicure, definitely the season for those! I’m not picky and love all kinds of pizza, but thin crust is definitely my favorite. This naan version looks SO good, Cheyanne! I love anything and everything with pesto and prosciutto, so this pizza is just calling my name. I love all of this deliciousness going on here. And it’s so pretty, too. Pinned, of course! Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
Pedicure season indeed and my toes need help before I put on pretty sandals! 😉 Yay for thin crust pizzas, right?! But Naan’s are equally as good! Thank you so much for the comment love and pin, Gayle! Hope your Monday is as fab as you! Cheers, girlfriend!
Cheyanne, you had me at PROSCIUTTO ROSES. I was actually saying “prosciutto roses” to myself over and over – not kidding – as I read. This is literally the most gorgeous pizza I have ever seen, and I have seen me some pizza! Pinning, pinning, pinning! I did hear from my bunny who lives in Cary that NC was a little drippy yesterday – glad your Easter was cozy! xo
Prosciutto roses are the best, right Kate!? 🙂 Thank you so much for the sweet comment and pin, friend!! It was indeed a rainy day here, but we took advantage of the opportunity to do nothing! hahaha. Hope you and your family had a fabulous Easter! Cheers, dear! xo
Sounds like we had a very similar Easter (and I’m not mad about it one bit)! Love the idea of asparagus pesto, I made an arugula pesto yesterday but ugh, now i’m wishing it was asparagus…going to need to try that asap. Goat and fontina, YES! Also all about using naan bread this way, so creative – and a perfect way to change up pizza night! Wonderful!
Yay to relaxing holidays, Michelle! So glad you enjoyed yours! Pesto of all kinds is delicious, I know you’d love the asparagus kind! Thank you so much for the kind comment, friend! Cheers!
Well, isn’t this the prettiest little pizza I ever did see!! I love those prosciutto roses Cheyanne! That asparagus pesto sounds perfect too! I am a thin crust girl too and Tom and I totally enjoy anything on Naan bread. Definitely adding these beauties to the rotation. Thanks for sharing. Glad Easter was relaxing for you and Boy. Have a wonderful week!
Prosciutto roses steal my heart too, Mary Ann… well and asparagus pesto too. 😉 Pretty much all the things delicious! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, friend! Cheers to you, Tom and a beautiful week! <3
Hi Cheyanne, quick response here as I sort of have to run but this looks once again amazing! I love your creativity and I can almost taste that combo of asparagus and goat cheese… (Goat cheese is the best)
Great recipe again! You inspire me 🙂
I totally agree, goat cheese rocks! Thanks so much for the kind comment, Vivian! Cheers! 😉
