Trader Joe’s quality and selection of frozen Indian food are second to none! And when it comes to Indian cuisine, one absolute must-have is naan bread– it’s the perfect compliment to Trader Joe’s butter chicken, tikka masala, curries and palak paneer (just to name a few!) or to eat warm on its own.
Trader Joe’s sells Naan bread. It can be found along with Trader Joe’s Indian-style frozen entrees in the freezer cases.
As of writing, we were only able to find Garlic Naan in the freezer case at Trader Joe’s.
Tandoori Naan was previously available alongside the Garlic Naan, however, it is currently not in stores.
We’re not sure if it’s a supply issue or if Tandoori Naan has been discontinued. The Trader Joe’s website currently lists Tandoori Naan as not available.

Trader Joe’s Naan Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 piece Trader Joe’s Garlic Naan
- 2 tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice: mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, etc.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Remove naan from the bag.
- Heat in the oven for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes, or until heated.
- Remove from oven and spread sauce on naan bread.

The sauce and toppings for naan pizza can be modified to your liking. We love the idea of pesto with Mediterranean veggies and olives and alfredo sauce along with chicken and mushrooms.
