- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or to taste)
- 10 slices pepperoni (or to taste)
Optional Serving

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and place the oven rack in the top third position to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Naan Base: Place the naan bread on a baking sheet to create the pizza base.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the naan using a spoon, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
