# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like Caesar salad and pizza had a delicious baby, combining two beloved flavors into one warm, cheesy bite.
  • Ready in 30 minutes total, which means you can go from hungry to eating without the usual dinner-making stress.
  • Forgiving enough for weeknights but impressive enough to serve when friends show up unexpectedly.
02 -
  • Add your romaine after baking, not before, or it'll wilt into sad, warm lettuce mush and you'll lose that crucial crispy texture that makes this special.
  • Don't skimp on the olive oil brushing step; it's what gives you those golden, slightly crispy naan edges instead of a soft, breadlike base.
03 -
  • Keep your romaine crisp by dressing it separately and only right before plating, so the contrast between warm pizza and cool lettuce stays sharp.
  • Watch the oven closely during those last few minutes of baking; naan edges go from golden to burnt faster than you'd think, especially if your oven runs hot.
