It’s always a good night when it’s pizza night in our house! These pizzas made in an air fryer are simple to customize and make. They are also easy enough for kids to assist in making them.

Use my favorite No-Cook Pizza Sauce for a rich and tomatoey base, load it with some stringy mozzarella cheese, and add your favorite toppings. So easy and so delicious! Or fold these and turn them into air fryer calzones.

How to make air fryer pizza

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Meanwhile, prepare your pizza by placing pizza crust on an air fryer parchment paper liner. This makes the pizza easier to get in and out of the air fryer.

Spread over your pizza sauce.

Add the cheese, and other desired toppings.

Place the pizza in the air fryer basket. I use a air fryer rack to keep by toppings from flying all around.

Cook for 7-8 minutes, until the cheese has melted and browned.

Can you make the pizzas ahead of time?

These pizzas are best served straight out of the air fryer. They take minutes to prep, but if you are making your own sauce, you can make that a few days ahead of time. You can also top this pizza crusts a few hours before you are planning to cook them and keep them in the fridge.

Can you reheat pizza in an air fryer?

Yes! Reheating your pizza in an air fryer is so much better than using a microwave and way quicker than using the oven. Add it to a preheated air fryer at 320 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. It will come out perfectly crispy, like it’s just been made.

How to make Frozen Pizza in the Air Fryer

You can make a frozen pizza, or ready made pizza, in the air fryer. You’ll want to check the times and temperatures suggested on your pizza packaging and reduce the temperature and time suggested for conventional ovens. For example, if the frozen pizza suggests cooking at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes in a conventional oven, then I cook it at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes in my air fryer. Reducing the temperature and time for oven recipes is an air fryer tip I live by. 

What other toppings can you add?

When it comes to toppings on pizzas, the possibilities are endless. I often like to set up a pizza bar with lots of different options and then everyone can make their own personal pizza. A few toppings you can use:

• Pepperoni
• Pineapple
• Bell Peppers
• Mushrooms
• Ground Beef
• Tomatoes
• Sausage
• Cooked Shredded Chicken
• Bacon

Recipe Notes and Tips

• You can use store-bought prepared crust or homemade dough for this recipe. If your homemade dough requires you to pre-bake the crust, place the prepared dough in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Then remove the crust, place the sauce, cheese, and toppings and cook on 375 degrees for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• I place a rack over my pizza to stop the toppings from flying around. If you don’t have a rack, proceed to cook the pizza, but check halfway to see if the toppings have moved. If they have, simply place them back on the pizza and continue to cook.
