Air-fried frozen pizza is the perfect quick and easy lunch or snack. We buy a box of pepperoni and cheese single pizzas in bulk from Costco and keep them in the freezer.

They are the perfect easy dinner when neither of us feels like cooking. I love the crispy crust on the air fryer pizza.

You can use any pizza flavor you enjoy and add toppings after cooking if you wish.

Ingredients

Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients for making an epic Air Fryer Frozen Pizza! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

Frozen Personal Pizza

Equipment Needed

Air Fryer - We suggest getting an air fryer that is bigger than you think you will need. We found once we started using the air fryer, we ended up using it for more meals and larger meals.
Kitchen Tongs - we highly suggest using tongs or a spatula to remove the pizza once it is cooked. It will be HOT and your fingertips will not be happy grabbing it.

How to cook Frozen Pizza in Air Fryer

I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

Place frozen personal pizza in the air fryer basket. We can fit one pizza in our air fryer.

If frozen food sticks to your air fryer, brush the bottom with oil or use a piece of parchment paper on the bottom.

Air fry for 8-12 minutes, checking your pizza after 8 minutes. You don't want the top of the pizza to burn.

Preparation and Storage

Make Ahead:

We do not use a preheated air fryer.

Storage:

Refrigerate leftover pizza in an airtight container and enjoy it within three to four days.

Freezing/How to Freeze:

We do not suggest refreezing leftovers cooked from frozen, as the temperature changes may make eating them unsafe.

How to Reheat:

We like reheating leftover pizza in the air fryer.

Recipe Variations

Substitutions:

You can use any pizza flavor and variety, including thin crust, deep-dish, and mini pizzas. Adjust the cooking time for each kind, using the package instructions to reference how long you may need to set the timer.

Vegetarian Option:

Cheese pizzas make a quick and easy air fryer vegetarian recipe.

Vegan Option:

It is also easy to air-fry your favorite plant-based pizza to hot and ready perfection.

Gluten-Free:

Look for a gluten-free label on your frozen pizza to ensure safety for a gluten-free diet. We have seen many gluten-free brands in the freezer aisle.

Smaller Serving Size + Larger Group/More Servings:

Cooking times and temperature can vary depending on your air fryer model and your frozen pizza's size and crust style. Make sure to watch your pizza the first time you cook one.

Deep dish pizzas will take a little longer, while mini pizzas and thin crusts air fry faster.

Make It Spicy:

You can select a spicy frozen pizza to air fry or spice up any frozen pizza by drizzling hot honey or your favorite hot sauce. We use red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Sugar-Free:

Nutritional content varies across products, so if you are watching your sugar intake, double-check the label on your frozen pizza.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Frozen Pizza

If the top of your pizza is drying out or turning brown too quickly, spray it with oil.
We use avocado oil in our air fryer instead of cooking spray
