Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the delicious taste, with caramelised onions and pesto adding depth. Some found the combination of flavours too strong or sweet.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with the option to get kids involved in assembling their own naanizzas.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing sweetcorn and adding Mediterranean vegetables or bacon. Try spreading pesto under the cheese before baking for better flavour integration.
  • Portions: Several noted the naan breads were smaller than expected, suggesting adding a side salad to make it more filling.
  • Texture: Some found the naan base made the dish a bit dry compared to traditional pizza dough.
