pumpkin naan pizza with gruyere & fresh herbs
“Indulge in the flavors of fall with our Pumpkin Naan Pizza, featuring rich Gruyere and aromatic fresh herbs. This delightful creation promises a unique and satisfying culinary journey that captures the essence of autumn in every bite.”
The other day, I was reading (and drooling) through my friend, Liz’s post on butternut squash puree with honey and smoked paprika. I adore Liz because she loves everything under the savory-spicy sun like yours truly. Anyways, she asked an interesting question: have you started menu planning for the holiday?
I was like, do wha?!
Wait. Have you started? I, alone, have not boarded the holiday menu planning ship?
Even though it’s only November 6th, my mind has yet to grasp that the holidays are approaching. I know some of you have started prepping, and even possibly have done a rehearsal with the old turkey (seriously, you get like 4,367 gold stars!), but I take the holidays with more of a sling shot approach.
You know, put a turkey in a sling shot and let’er rip! Okay, not really, but I am more let’s-take-the pressure/tension-off the holiday menus, and go with the “leave it where Jesus flung it approach.” Every year people are running around with their heads cut off and missing the reason we are all together in the first place. Sometimes you have to let and go and see what happens. Trust me, some of the best memories are created this way!
Case in point: If you are telling yourself that watching paint dry is more fun than making a big ol’ bird for the T-Giving this year, why not make a pizza? I’m pretty sure the Indians or the Puritans wouldn’t judge. I think this is one of my favorite pizzas to date. There’s something about creamy pumpkin mixed with gooey Gruyere cheese that makes the world seem brighter.
So, if you feel like putting Thanksgiving into a sling shot, I highly recommend you make this pizza. You never know where things are going to land.
“Conclude your autumn feast with the savory goodness of Pumpkin Naan Pizza, gruyere, and fresh herbs. It’s a flavorful blend that leaves your taste buds delighted, ensuring a memorable and satisfying dining experience.”
HONESTLY, I swear I was JUST googling the internet for a great naan pizza, because I randomly bought naan from a market in NYC and I had no idea what to do with it. I can’t wait to try this before the naan goes bad!
You will love it! Naan pizzas are the best. Thanks, Ali!
Don’t tell anyone this, but I’ve never cooked a whole turkey. I know, I’m just carelessly tossing all my “supermom” (questionable to begin with) and my “food blogger” and “good cook” statuses out the window.
Scares the crap outta me.
Pizza? Pizza, I can do. And this looks phenomenal.
Ha! I cooked my first one last year and it’s kind of boring. I think we should all make this pizza instead:) Thanks, Rachel!
This looks delicious. I really need to give this a try!
Dewwww it! Thanks, Carrian!
YUM! This looks so good! I love a good gruyere pizza! And with pumpkin too? Yes, please!
Gruyere and pumpkin are the da’bomb together. Thanks, Tieghan!
This pizza looks delicious and what that added pumpkin, what a treat!
Why, thank you, Pamela!
Dear sweet mother of it all! I need this!
YES.YOU.DO!! Thanks, Meredith!
That pumpkin sauce looks amazing! I have ONE tin of pumpkin puree left (you can’t really get it in the UK but I found it by chance in a shop that I’m 99% sure won’t have it any more 🙁 ) and I think this might have to be what I use it for!
you MUST make this pizza! Life changing:) Thanks, Becca!
wow this looks fantastic! great idea for a modern appetizer on Thanksgiving, I’m loving this!
Thank you, Christine!
Totally love the flavours you’ve combined here – so autumnal yet so bright and fresh with all those fresh herbs. Love it!
Why, thank you, my dear! It’s kind of an autumn explosion!
Omg I’m just now reading your post – dude, I am so with you on the lack of menu planning!!!! It’s way more fun going by the spur of the moment!! Love your savory-spicy shout out!! xoxox
Ha! No worries love! #tots4life #savory-spice4life #youareawesome
I think I want to drink that pumpkin sauce, it looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
Actually, it could really make for a good smoothie:) Thanks, Anna!
I haven’t started to plan either but the other day I compiled a bunch of veggies and then roasted them. I’m claiming that I am one step closer to coming up with a plan. This naan is out of this world.
You are so on top of it! Love! Thanks, Meagan!
Ok. I might have to come out of my no-cooking-slump to make this. It looks amazing.
You must! I promise you will love it:)
OMG, Gruyere is the best cheese ever and combined with pumpkin? Yes please – sign me up 🙂
Fo’ sure!! I’ll send some over ASAP!
Okay now I’m seriously considering ditching the turkey for this pizza. Holy yum!!
Ha! Me too! Let’s be rebels together:)
Hi Lauren! I found your site through a few bloggers I follow. You have one delicious site. This naan pizza looks amazing. Pinned.
Hi Jennie! Welcome. I am glad you stopped by! And thank you for your sweet words;)
Oh my heaven. YES. This is what I want for dinner.
Amen, sista! Thanks, Aggie!
Holy moly, my friend… this is f’ing brilliant! And I need it.
Girl, I would HAPPILY eat pizza for Thanksgiving. I mean, I feel like if you just called it a savory pie, it would be totally acceptable. Also PUMPKIN. It’s smothered in it. Love it!
nom nom nom me want this for lunch. ( that was my cookie monster impression)
I might have to make a serious adjustment to my Thanksgiving menu…..adios turkey, helllllo pumpkin nann pizza!
Good lord! I want to stack these up, unhinge my jaw and cram them in my face. Love naan, Gruyere and well EVERYTHING about these!
GENIUS. You know how to rock the naan, m’lady.
Lauren… Can I come live with you…. And eat pumpkin pizza every night? Pretty please?
this is so genius! sometimes I add pumpkin to my pizza dough, but never-ever thought of making it into a sauce…I’mma have to try that.
Lauren this is just so pretty and what a creative way to use pumpkin – and naan! Pinned!
This looks ahhhhmazing! i’m going to put it on my menu for the week, thanks for sharing! http://www.handmadeintheheartland.com
This pizza looks SO good! This is just SCREAMING fall, I love this!
We made this naan pizza over the weekend as an appetizer for a small cocktail party. It was delicious and everyone loved it. Very fitting for the season. The naan works well as a crust and as usual …. naan is just tasty!
What an amazing combination!
A hit as a Thankgiving appetizer. All gone. Will make this one again.

Made a sausage-free version of this on the spur-of-the-moment to use up a few ounces of pumpkin puree at the back of my freezer. Delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe. I used lavender leaves from my garden in place of some of the herbs and it worked perfectly.
This looks fabulous!
I have one question:
“Once the sauce has cooked for a couple of minutes and is at the desired consistency.” –then what do we do? That’s the end of the recipe. 😉
Hey Louise! Once the sauce is done you pour it onto the pizza. Thanks!
