Tzatziki Chicken Pizza is a delicious twist on classic pizza, bringing the refreshing flavors of the Mediterranean to a crispy naan bread base. I love how it uses creamy tzatziki sauce instead of a traditional tomato base, paired with juicy chicken, crunchy vegetables, and tangy feta. It’s the kind of meal that comes together quickly, tastes vibrant, and leaves me satisfied without feeling heavy.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I find this recipe to be the perfect light yet filling meal. The tzatziki brings a cool, herby creaminess that pairs beautifully with seasoned chicken and fresh veggies. Since I use naan bread for the crust, it saves me a lot of prep time without compromising on texture or flavor. It’s great for a quick dinner or lunch, and it’s easy to customize depending on what I have on hand. Plus, it’s a fun and healthy way to enjoy pizza.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 naan breads
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
½ cup tzatziki sauce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C).
I place the naan on a baking sheet and brush each one lightly with olive oil.
I spread the tzatziki sauce evenly over both naan breads.
Then I top them with shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onion.
I sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
I season everything with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
I bake the pizzas for 10-12 minutes, just until the naan is crispy and the toppings are heated through.
Before serving, I drizzle with a little more tzatziki and sprinkle fresh parsley for garnish.
Servings and Timing

Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
Total time: approximately 22 minutes
Variations
When I want to mix things up, I’ll sometimes swap the chicken for cooked lamb or even beef for a richer flavor. I’ve also tried using whole wheat naan to make it a bit healthier. Adding kalamata olives or roasted red peppers brings even more of that Mediterranean feel. For vegetarian days, I just skip the chicken and pile on more veggies or toss on some chickpeas. And if I’m in the mood for something creamier, goat cheese works beautifully instead of feta.
Storage/Reheating
If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the pizza on a baking sheet and warm it up in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 to 7 minutes. This keeps the naan crisp. I avoid microwaving it since that tends to make the bread soggy.
FAQs
What is tzatziki sauce?
Tzatziki is a creamy Greek sauce made from yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs like dill or mint. It adds a fresh, tangy flavor to this pizza.
Can I use store-bought tzatziki sauce?
Yes, I often use store-bought tzatziki when I want to save time. I just make sure to choose a high-quality one for the best taste.
What type of naan bread works best?
Plain naan is my go-to, but garlic naan adds extra flavor, and whole wheat naan is great for a healthier option.
Can I prepare this pizza ahead of time?
I can prep everything ahead and assemble the pizzas, but I bake them just before serving to keep the naan from getting soggy.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Traditional naan isn’t gluten-free, but I can easily swap in a gluten-free flatbread to make the whole pizza gluten-free.
Conclusion
Tzatziki Chicken Pizza brings together bold Mediterranean flavors in an easy, fast-to-make dish that never fails to impress. I love how the creamy tzatziki and crunchy vegetables play against the savory chicken and crispy naan base. It’s one of those recipes I keep coming back to because it’s just so fresh, simple, and satisfying every time I make it.
