Mushroom Flatbread Pizza
These mushroom flatbread pizzas are one of my favorite ways to make pizza at home without dealing with homemade pizza dough. Naan takes the place of traditional pizza crust, and it’s topped with meaty mushrooms, two kinds of cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s a delicious flavor combo!
Mushroom Flatbread Ingredients
- Flatbread: Naan works well for flatbread pizza. I like it because it has a soft and slightly chewy texture, but I’ve also made these pizzas with pita bread, so either works.
- Mushrooms: I love cremini mushrooms (sometimes called baby bella mushrooms), but any mushrooms will work, so pick your favorite.
- Seasonings: I like to warm the red pepper flakes and oregano in oil before I cook the mushrooms. It infuses the oil with the flavors.
- Cheese: I use shredded mozzarella for the melty factor and grated Parmesan for flavor and texture.
- Garnishes: A drizzle of balsamic glaze on the hot pizzas adds a nice tang and a touch of sweetness. And, of course, there’s a sprinkle of parsley, too.
I love this recipe because it’s easy to swap the ingredients—use pita instead of naan, try different kinds of mushrooms, swap the oregano for Italian seasoning or other dried herbs, or swap the mozzarella cheese for provolone, gruyere, or other good melting cheese that you like.
How to Make the Pizzas
☑️ Saute the Mushrooms
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and oregano and stir them for a minute or so.
Add the mushrooms and salt to the skillet and stir. Cook them for about 10 minutes or until they release moisture and are a deep golden brown. Add the garlic, stir, and take the pan off the heat.
☑️ Assemble the Pizzas
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on it. Top them with the mozzarella cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
☑️ Bake
Bake the pizzas for eight to ten minutes at 400°F or until the cheese is melted and the flatbreads are hot.
☑️ Garnish
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza and sprinkle chopped parsley before slicing the flatbreads.

Notes
Flatbreads: I use Stonefire Original Naan for my pizzas. If you can’t find naan, use large pita bread.
I like these pizzas hot from the oven, but leftovers are pretty good, too. Store the pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for a couple of days. I like to warm the leftover flatbreads in the air fryer for a couple of minutes at 350°F, or you can warm them in the microwave for a minute or so.
