INGREDIENTS
The only ingredient you need is your favorite brand of frozen pizza. Frozen personal pizza or frozen mini pizza would be ideal to cook in your air fryer. You won’t be able to fit a regular-sized pizza in the Air fryer. By letting it thaw for a while, you can cut the regular pizza into slices that will fit in the Air fryer.
How To Cook Frozen Pizza In the Air Fryer
- Preheat air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Or at 370F for 5 minutes.
- Next, brush the air fryer with oil or lightly spray with an oil mister. So that the pizza will not stick to the bottom of the Air fryer. This is optional.
- Remove all the plastic wrapping from the pizza.
- Place frozen pizza in the Air fryer basket.
- Air fry the pizza for approximately 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crisp. You can cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes or until it’s golden brown or your desired level of crispness is reached.
- If you want to add extra cheese, add it halfway through the cooking as it might get blown everywhere due to the circulating air.

Best Tips To Cook Frozen Pizzas
Preheat the Air fryer. This ensures the pizza will cook fast and has a nice crispy crust. If you skip preheating, add an additional 3 to 4 minutes to your cooking time.
Don’t overcrowd the basket. If you’re cooking several pizzas or mini pizzas, make sure there’s enough space around them for the hot air to circulate completely.
Add cheese halfway through the cooking process. The hot air will blow the toppings or cheese around. Let the pizza heat up so the cheese or toppings will stick to the pizza.
For a crispy crust do not use parchment paper or aluminum foil. But if you want a softer crust or using a crustless pizza, line the air fryer basket.
