Why We Love This Air Fryer Pizza Recipe
It’s never a bad idea to have a pizza night , and trust me, this air fryer pizza recipe is about to rock your world! Made with pre-made pizza dough, and topped with all of your favorite toppings, these pizzas are quick to prep and cooked to perfection in the air fryer.
- Quick. Ready to serve in less than 30 minutes, making and cooking these pizzas is quicker than waiting for takeout!
- Customizable. Please everyone by adding your favorite toppings or keep it simple, your choice!
- Simple Ingredients. You don’t need a long list of complicated ingredients to make a delicious homemade pizza!
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.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
