Variations on Pizza in the Air Fryer
This is a wonderful base air fryer pizza recipe! Get creative and have fun adding your favorite sauces and toppings to these pizzas. Use up to ½ cup of pizza sauce and about ½ cup of cheese per pizza. Try pesto or olive oil on the crust, your favorite cheese (shredded or sliced), and toppings like pepperoni, cooked sausage, peppers, onions, pineapple, mushrooms, broccoli, etc.
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!
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).
Absolutely! Use ½ cup of your favorite homemade sauce per pizza.
I don’t recommend it. Without partially cooking the dough before adding the toppings, the crust will be undercooked.
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.
