There is Taco Tuesday… and then… there’s Pizza Thursday?!?
Not sure that’s really a thing, but today we are making it a thing. It’s pizza time!!
Extra special, extra colorful pizza!!
YESS. My favorite kind… well, actually extra cheesy pizza is my favorite kind, but colorful is a close second!
SO I have to make this quick today because little Ms. Asher is back from Korea and she is already chatting my ear off about one, how bored she was there, and two, how much she missed me, and three, how much she LOVES Harry Potter. I’m telling you guys, I’ve created a little Harry Potter monster, and I couldn’t be more pleased! 🙂 Asher is now on winter break (pretty nice the way that worked out for her, 7 days off of school and then 3 extras days for break!). Since her make up work has long since been completed, she’s got a lot of free time on her hands…yikes.
Anyway, little sis is currently sitting next to me (in the very same seat) playing with the filters on my snapchat while she waits for me to finish this post…the pressure is on.
Speaking of Korea though, my parents brought me back the coolest new dishes. YEAHHH! I am so excited! Unfortunately, you guys probably will not be seeing them for a while, as I am currently stockpiling new props for cookbook photo shoots. Oh the cookbook, exciting things are happening behind the scenes, but man it’s really starting to take over my life! I’m currently writing and editing recipes like it’s my job.
Oh wait, it is my job. Whateves, it’s still kind of a lot of recipes. 🙂 🙁
Okay, but let’s talk Banh Mi Pizza before Asher kills me. I know this pizza is a little different. I mean, for one, the eggs, two, there’s a lot of color happening on top for a pizza, but hear me out.
This pizza is LEGIT.
Have you ever had a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich? If you haven’t, I highly recommend, no demand, that you change that ASAP. Seriously, a Banh Mi is possibly one of the most delicious sandwiches around. They are compiled of pork, pickled veggies, spicy sauce and sometimes (in my case all the time) a fried egg. It sounds simple, but I promise it’s one killer sandwich, and you guys have got to try it….
Or just try the pizza version! Both are equally delicious.
One of my favorite things to do with pizza is to top it with salad fixings once it comes out of the oven. I know, all you cheese pizza purists out there are eyeing me down right now, but it’s just what I like. So a Banh Mi Pizza was a no brainer for me.
I happen to have a batch of fresh Naan dough sitting in the fridge so I decided to use it as pizza dough. Well it turns out that using naan as pizza dough is THE BEST. You can obviously just use pizza dough, BUT I highly encourage you to give the naan a try. It’s kind of awesome when made as a pizza. Once I had my dough situation all worked out, I topped it with a little “banh mi” sauce, added some fresh mozzarella cheese (not traditional on a banh mi, but a must for any pizza), topped that with some Vietnamese pork meatballs and yes… eggs. Nothing better than eggs on a pizza guys.
Try it.
I then I tossed together a simple salad full of all the banh mi classics: carrots, radishes, cucumbers, cilantro, green onions and a little Thai basil. I also made a spicy sriracha “mayo” out of tahini. I’m personally not a huge fan of mayo, so I like to come up with fun ingredients to replace the mayo with. Tahini is my go-to and I will not lie, this tahini “mayo” is EVERYTHING.
And with that, I am DONE

This looks amazing!! You must have your hands full with posting 6 recipes a week on this blog AND writing a cookbook. I’d wish you luck, but sounds like you have it all under control 🙂
Thank you so much, Natasha! Hope you are having a great week!
Dear Lord, talk about FUSION! Pizza and banh mi are so so different from each other, and I think your creation is absolutely perfect! You took a really daring step and it looks like it really works! I bet it tastes like a million bucks 😉
Thanks Cassie! 🙂
This sounds wonderful!!!
Thanks Debra!
Oh my godddddd…dying over how amazing this looks!!! I can’t wait to try the meatballs…and going to look at your naan recipe now…
Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Oh, this looks so delicious!. Two questions: Where does the honey go in the recipe? I am thinking that it is a part of the soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, sriracha, lime juice and lemongrass mixture but did not see it mentioned in the Instructions. Also, I thought that the traditional Vietnamese veggies calls for pickled veggies. Does that get taken care of with all the other ingredients and it is not necessary to pickle the veggies? I actually like this idea because there are already a wealth of flavor notes involved in this great recipe!
Sorry, I fixed the recipe to read correctly. Honey is apart of the sauce like you thought. Yes, traditionally the veggies are pickled, but I wanted them to be a little fresher, so I just tossed them with a little peanut oil.
Hope you love the pizza! Thank you!!

Oh no you DIDN’T! This is so awesome! We made a meatball banh mi sandwich the other day and it was literally one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had, but that on a pizza is just – I just can’t!! This goes straight onto our list! Thanks for the idea!
