FAQs

What kind of chicken should I use?

Grilled, shredded, or rotisserie chicken all work well. Seasoned chicken adds more flavor.

Can I make this with pita instead of naan?

Yes, pita bread makes a great substitute for naan and creates a thinner, crispier base.

Is store-bought tzatziki okay?

Absolutely. While homemade is great, a high-quality store-bought tzatziki saves time and still tastes great.

Can I make it ahead of time?

You can prep the toppings ahead, but assemble and bake right before eating for the best texture.

How do I make it vegetarian or vegan?

Skip the chicken and use vegan tzatziki and feta alternatives for a plant-based version.

What sides go well with this pizza?

A Greek salad, lemony couscous, or roasted vegetables pair perfectly.

Can I serve this cold?

Yes, it tastes great cold or at room temperature—perfect for picnics or lunchboxes.

How do I keep the naan from getting soggy?

Avoid overloading with tzatziki and bake until edges are crispy to prevent sogginess.

Can I grill the naan instead of baking it?

Yes, grilling adds a nice smoky flavor. Grill over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of tzatziki?

Plain Greek yogurt can be used in a pinch, but adding garlic, cucumber, and lemon juice will bring it closer to true tzatziki flavor.
