Coming back to this recipe. I love pizza so much. This is a lazy kind of pizza for lazy people. Because I made this with naan which is an Indian kind of flatbread. This pizza is very simple and needs only a couple of minutes to cook. The surprise ingredient here is chives and that what gave a refreshing taste to this pizza.
