How to Make Air Fryer Pizza with Premade Pizza Crust
- Find the crust that fits your air fryer. Our basket was able to fit an 8-inch crust or our timing is roughly based on that size of crust. If you’re using a smaller 4-6″ crust reduce cooking time. If you’re using a 12″ crust, you will have to increase cooking time.
- Different brands of pre-made crusts will also have different thicknesses of crust. Reduce time for a thinner crust, and increase for thick crusts.
- We like to warm both sides of the crust before the sauce and toppings go on. This makes the crust a little crispier. If you just add the sauce and toppings on a cold crust, the toppings might be warm, but the center of the crust will be cold.
- Every air fryer model cooks a little different. You might need add a few more minutes to get the pizza to your preferred texture if you’re cooking in a large oven style or toaster style air fryer.
- After you make your first pizza, you’ll know the best timing for your future batches.
- Have fun with your pizza: Add your favorite sauce, toppings and cheese. The possibilities are endless.
- All air fried pizza recipe details are in the recipe box below.
- Pro Tip: Use an air fryer rack that fits your air fryer to keep the toppings from flying around. The hot circulating air can blow your cheese and toppings off the pizza. These racks are great to hold the toppings down as they finish cooking
Ready for A PIZZA PARTY?
It’s so much fun to have a pizza bar and let everyone customize their own pizzas. Lay out your toppings, different sauces and cheeses. Everyone can make their own and you can manage the air fryer and cook the pizzas for them. Or have one person in charge of air frying so that all the pizzas cook the same and won’t burn.
- If you’re having alot of people over, we suggest using smaller size crusts so everyone can customize their own pizza.
- Or you can air fry a larger one and cut it in slices so everyone can share. Then all you do is to decide what toppings you want and rotate so each hot pizza has a different topping.
- Pizza Sauce Options: Red pizza sauce, white Alfredo sauce, bbq sauce, pesto, or any sauce that you like.
- Wanting a low carb sauce option? Here’s a low carb keto pizza sauce recipe homemade.
- Shredded cheese options: Mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, Mexican blend, pepper jack
- Meat Toppings: pepperoni, cooked sausage, cooked bacon, cooked diced ham, cooked leftover or roast chicken
- Vegetarian or Vegan Pizza: sliced mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, pineapple chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil, fresh basil

We each had our own personal pan pizza with our fave toppings. Our pizzas came out great!
Hi Terri, that’s so awesome! So glad you enjoyed making the pizzas!
Really love how easy this was. Didn’t even think of using the premade stuff. It saved me time.
Hi,
I make my pizzas using naan bread (no toasting prior) and I load up the bread and 370 degrees for 7 or so minutes or when the cheeses has melted.
Great pizza.

The pre-made crust really helped speed the whole process along. And the pizza cooked perfectly in the air fryer. Thanks for the awesome idea.
