Imagine transforming a plain frozen pizza into a restaurant-quality masterpiece in just minutes, with a perfectly crispy crust and melted cheese that'll make your taste buds dance!

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 frozen pizza
  2. Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove the frozen pizza from its packaging and inspect for any ice crystals or freezer burn.
  2. If desired, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, though most frozen pizzas have enough oil to prevent adhering.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
  4. Carefully place the frozen pizza directly into the air fryer basket. If the pizza is larger than the basket, you may need to cut it in half.
  5. For thin-crust pizzas, cook for 6-8 minutes. For thicker pizzas, cook for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Midway through cooking, pause the air fryer and rotate the pizza 180 degrees to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
  7. Check the pizza's doneness by ensuring the cheese is melted, the edges are golden brown, and the crust is crisp.
  8. Remove the pizza carefully using tongs or a heat-resistant spatula.
  9. Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set.
  10. Slice and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Tips

  1. • Always preheat your air fryer to ensure even cooking and that coveted crispy crust • For larger pizzas, don't be afraid to cut them in half to fit your air fryer basket • Rotate the pizza midway through cooking to achieve uniform browning • Different pizza thicknesses require slight time adjustments (6-8 minutes for thin crust, 8-10 minutes for thicker crusts) • Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow the cheese to set • Use tongs or a heat-resistant spatula for safe pizza removal • Optional: A light cooking spray can help prevent sticking, though most frozen pizzas have enough oil Pro tip: Keep a close eye on your pizza during the first few attempts to learn your specific air fryer's quirks and perfect cooking time!
