Almost every Friday night, Cody and I go out for pizza. Whether it’s meeting friends at a pizza place or staying in and ordering Dominos (YES, such a splurge fave of mine!), it’s known that Friday nights are pizza night for the McMichaels. You can also look in our freezer at just about any given moment and find at least one frozen pizza in there.
If anyone was to ask me what my all time favorite food is, it would take me approximately 0.1 seconds to shout out “Pizza!”. It’s just SO GOOD. And I’m a little bit obsessed with it.
My pizza obsession is actually quite the problem when it comes to healthy eating. Learning to balance splurging and eating healthy is another story (I wrote an entire book about it…check it out HERE!), but I’ve embraced pizza night as my splurge meal night and absolutely love it!
However, this Spinach & Mushroom Naan Pizza is easy, quick, and healthy!
It’s so perfect for a quick and easy vegetarian weeknight dinner!
I actually made this Spinach & Mushroom Naan Pizza in a frenzy after being gone all weekend. We traveled all day on Sunday and by the time we got home, we were starving!
We stopped by Whole Foods, which is a rare but glorious occasion, and loaded up on our weekly groceries that included this delicious Naan bread, vegan cheese (you can use regular cheese, but I used vegan because I’m attempting to be dairy free this month), spinach, and mushrooms. When we finally arrived at our house, I threw these Naan bread pizzas together in about 20 minutes total! Cody ate 2, I ate 1, and it was the best day ever.
Off topic, we also managed to FINALLY take down our Christmas tree that day (yep…it’s almost March….). It truly was a glorious day, indeed!
This Spinach & Mushroom Naan Pizza recipe is a great way to eat healthy but feel like you’re splurging!

We eat naan atleast 2 times a week and yet I always get excited seeing new ways to use them – the pizza look so yummm! I love pizza so much and can almost eat it everyday 😉
Christine McMichael replied:
Love it!! It’s seriously the BEST. Me too, Molly! Glad we can relate on this, haha!
Donna says:
Haha you sound like us. Friday night is always pizza night in our house, and if you ever ask my kids what their favorite food is, the answer will ALWAYS be pizza. At 4 and 2 they are already rolling out their own dough and piling on their fav ingredients 🙂 This sounds delicious, I love that it is served on some naan bread to make it super easy! YUM
Christine McMichael replied:
Haha, that’s awesome, Donna! Love it. Wow, that’s impressive! Enjoy! 🙂

You just took down your Christmas tree? Lol! You’re so funny! Oh the busy life of a food blogger! Love the idea of making pizza on Naan bread and the spinach and mushroom topping is my favorite!
Christine McMichael replied:
Haha YEP. And really only because we had family coming into town. Otherwise it would most likely STILL be there! Ah, life, yes. Enjoy the recipe, friend!
swathi says:
I agree with you naan make great pizza base. I have tried it. Adding spinach and mushroom make it more versatile.

Thank you, Swathi! 🙂

Naan pizza is all the rage now, isn’t it? I love naan so much, I have a hard time thinking of using it for anything other than serving with homemade Indian food, but I do bet that naan pizza is delicious, especially with spinach and mushrooms!
Christine McMichael replied:
Yes, it’s so great!! Haha, I know. The toppings really transform it! Enjoy the recipe, Julie!
Kylee from Kylee Cooks says:
Naan makes the perfect base for pizza! The topping ideas are endless – you could make the classic combos, or you could mix it up like you did, for ultimate deliciousness!
Christine McMichael replied:
So true! I want to try them with different toppings for sure 🙂 Enjoy!
ManilaSpoon says:
I love Naan bread and I often have a few of them in the freezer so I can enjoy them when needed. This is certainly one of the yummiest way to enjoy them – load them up with veggies and cheese! YUM!
Christine McMichael replied:
I agree!! Enjoy the recipe, friend! 🙂
Megan Marlowe says:
My husband hates mushrooms which makes me love this recipe even more, because I love them and then I can eat this entire thing by myself. I’m such a sucker for anything with mushrooms and spinach and love using naan as pizza. Pinning this to make SOON!
Christine McMichael replied:
Hahaha, that’s awesome, Megan! Love it. I could eat a MILLION of these! Ok maybe not literally, but I think you and I are on the same page 🙂 Enjoy the recipe!
Veena Azmanov says:
I love making Naan Pizza too but I’ve always made mine with kabab topping – I’d love to try this next time. So pretty so yum…

Oooooh, that sounds amazing, Veena! I’ll have to try that!

Pizza is one of my favorite foods as well. We always have pizza on Saturday night at our houses. It’s just one of those foods I never tire of causes you can make it so many ways. This looks like a simple and tasty one to try for sure especially since I love spinach and mushrooms.
Christine McMichael replied:
Ahhh, so glad to see a fellow pizza fanatic on here with me! 🙂 Yeah, I literally never get tired of it either, haha. It’s just SO good! Enjoy the recipe, friend! 🙂

What a great way to make pizza. Totally love naan bread, and the use as a crust here is awesome. Easy to make anytime you have a craving for pizza. So much better than takeout too.
Christine McMichael replied:
Thanks, Gloria! 🙂 Me too, I love it!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says:
Love the idea of using Naan bread to make quick pizzas. They do hold up really well to the toppings and the cheese. Spinach must have added a splash of freshness to the pizza. And Yay…..We are not the last ones to take our Christmas tree down!
Christine McMichael replied:
Using Naan bread makes it SO easy! Yes, exactly. Hahahaha, I’m glad we can relate on the Christmas tree thing! That’s so funny. Enjoy the recipe, friend! 🙂
