• Sprinkle some Italian seasoning in the pizza sauce

Pizza Crust Ideas

Anyway, here are some crust ideas for you:

How to Make Pizza In The Air Fryer

Again, this air fryer pizza recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make.

That's about the quickest you'll ever have a homemade pizza ready, so this recipe really comes in clutch when the pizza cravings hit. 

Anyway, let's not waste any more time and get pizza night rolling!

Step 1: Cut Th Pizza Dough

First, you're going to preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).

Next, make sure the pre-made pizza disc is thawed - if you're using a frozen one - and cut the pizza dough into four equal parts. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket though, you may need to cut it into smaller pieces.

Step 2: Top The Pizza

Now that the pizza dough is shaped so it will fit in your air fryer basket, you can assemble your pizza.

So, that means you can spread a layer of pizza sauce on top of the crust and then evenly sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella cheese, along with any additional toppings that you want.

Step 3: Cook The Pizza

Once your pizza is good to go, you can place each slice of pizza in the air fryer basket on top of a sheet of parchment paper and air fry it for about 10-12 minutes - or until all of the cheese melts, and the crust is nice and crispy.  

Then, when the pizza is cooked to perfection, you can remove it from the air fryer basket, slice it with a pizza cutter, and enjoy! 

How to Store Air Fryer Pizza

This recipe for air fryer pizza will make only one pizza, but you can really make as many personal pizzas as you want!

Then, if you have any leftovers, you're in luck because they taste great the next few days. I mean, is there anything better than leftover pizza? I definitely don't think so.

Anyway, to store your leftover pizza, just transfer it to an airtight container - or wrap it with plastic wrap/tin foil - and you can keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

With that said, if you want to keep it for even longer, you can store your leftover pizza in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Reheat Air Fryer Pizza

Now, if you're a cold pizza fan, you can definitely eat this air fried pizza straight out of the fridge cold.

But if you want to warm it up, you can do that too. So, to reheat the leftover pizza, just air fry it at 350°F (180°C) for about 3 minutes - or until the cheese melts and it reaches your desired temperature. Just make sure to check on it every minute or so - you don't want it to burn.

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make air fryer pizza!

I really think cooking pizza in the air fryer is so much better than baking it in the oven. The air fryer cooks a perfectly crispy crust and melts the cheese to that ooey-gooey consistency that's just so, so good. And it's also super convenient too.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this air fried pizza as much as my family, and I do!
