Air Fryer Frozen Pizza

As much as we try to eat healthy in our home, there are plenty of times that a frozen pizza has saved the day. So while making frozen pizza in air fryer is not something we do often, it’s nice when the moment calls for it, or simply when we are looking for a change of pace and a quick item to cook.

Because let’s face it, there is always a time when cooking a meal from scratch – no matter how quick and easy the recipe is – just isn’t going to happen. There are times when the kids come home from school and need more than an apple and some peanut butter for a snack. And there are times when your appetizer spread needs something… more. Either way, air fryer frozen pizza is here to bail you out when you forget about dinner, when your teenage son doesn’t stop eating, or when the game-day snacks are running low.

As the frozen food market sees the need for low-carb, keto, and gluten-free varieties of their products, they are expanding. So check your local grocer’s frozen foods section and you just may be surprised to find some healthy frozen pizza options that are perfect for your air fryer.

  • Ready in less time than it takes to preheat your oven, your frozen pizza in air fryer dish needs just 12-minutes of cook time!

Equipment

An Air Fryer– We have an Omni Plus oven style air fryer and a small 3.2L Farberware basket style air fryer. 

Step by Step Instructions

Preheat and air fry. Making frozen pizza in air fryer truly is that simple!

Air Fryer Pizza Temperature

We are cooking our air fryer frozen pizzas at 380F.

For best results, we do recommend you preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes prior to cooking. Most air fryer models will preheat automatically, but if yours does not, you can set your air fryer to 380F and allow it to run for 5 minutes.

Air Fryer Pizza Cooking Time

Place 1 or 2 individual-sized frozen pizzas in your air fryer and cook them for 10-12 minutes, until it’s heated through, the cheese is melty, and the crust is crispy.

The pizzas we cooked were 4 1/2 inches, so we were able to fit 2 in our air fryer. If your pizzas are larger, or your air fryer is smaller, you may not be able to get two in at one time.

After they have finished cooking, carefully remove your air fryer frozen pizzas, slice, and serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • Most frozen pizzas will take 10-12 minutes in your air fryer, but start checking on them after 9-10 minutes. Remove them when they have cooked to your liking.
  • Preheating your air fryer will allow your frozen pizzas to begin cooking as soon as you place them in your air fryer.
  • You do not need to leave space between your frozen pizzas in air fryer, but do not allow them to overlap. If you cannot fit two pizzas in your air fryer side by side, cook them one at a time.
  • No oil or spray is required when cooking your frozen pizzas in your air fryer.
  • For thin-crust frozen pizzas, check for doneness after 6-8 minutes. Deep-dish varieties could need as long as 15-minutes.

Frozen Pizza in Air Fryer

Yield: 2 pizzas
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes

Cooking air fryer frozen pizza is a quick and easy way to make individual size pizzas for snack or as a meal. Perfect for older kids to be able to cook for themselves too!

Ingredients

  • 2 individual size pizzas (4 1/2"-5")

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380F for 5 minutes.
  2. Place 1-2 individual size frozen pizzas in the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry the pizza for 10-12 minutes until it's heated through, the cheese is melted, and the crust is crispy. Enjoy!

Notes

The recipe uses 4 1/2" size individual pizzas, if yours are slightly larger or are the small bite-size pizzas, the cooking time will differ.

Trader Joes brand bambino pepperoni pizza was used in the recipe, any store-bought brand that's a similar size will cook at the same time and temp.

When cooking baked goods in an air fryer, like pizza with a crust, to get the crust crispy on the bottom it's best to cook foods at a lower temperature than other frozen foods and cook it for a little bit longer.
