How to Store and Reheat 

Store air fryer pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Using an air fryer to reheat pizza keeps it crispy. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until warmed through.

How to Freeze 

Freeze air fryer pizza whole or cut into individual slices in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Serving Suggestions

I can easily enjoy one of these pizzas by itself, but you can serve it up with these favorite sides for a real feast. I like it with Caprese Salad, Shoestring Fries, Creamy Coleslaw, or Cheesy Garlic Rolls. Let’s face it, there’s no wrong way to serve up a delicious homemade pizza!

Where can I buy pre-made pizza dough?

You can find pre-made pizza dough in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores, or stop by your local pizza restaurant and buy some of their pre-made dough (most restaurants offer their dough for purchase).

Can I use homemade pizza sauce?

Absolutely! Use ½ cup of your favorite homemade sauce per pizza.

Can I skip pre-cooking the pizza crust?

I don’t recommend it. Without partially cooking the dough before adding the toppings, the crust will be undercooked.

What size air fryer should I use?

I made these pizzas using a 4-quart air fryer.

Becky’s Tips

  • Preheat the air fryer before adding the dough. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat setting, just let it run at 375F for 5 minutes.
  • Use a non-stick spray or oil in your air fryer before adding the dough so that it doesn’t stick. Don’t use an aerosol spray as this can damage the coating on the basket.
  • Air fryer models can run slightly differently, so timings for the final cook may vary.
Storage: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
