How to cook Frozen Pizza in Air Fryer
The directions for how to cook frozen pizza in the air fryer vary depending on whether you are using a stand alone air fryer unit or an air fryer oven like the Smart Oven Air.
Cooking frozen pizza in the air fryer with temperatures and times:
- Stand alone Air Fryer: Preheated – 380 degrees for 6 minutes.
- Air Fryer Oven: Preheated – 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
*For a frozen mini pizza in the air fryer that is smaller than a personal size pizza, cut the cooking time in half.
Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
To cook air fryer pizza rolls, preheat your stand alone air fryer to 380 degrees. Cook for a total of 6-7 minutes, shaking the basket at the 3 minute mark (half way through cooking).
To cook pizza rolls in an air fryer oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees on the air fryer setting with regular convection enabled (this should be the default setting on most machines). Cook for 10 minutes total, flipping the pizza rolls at the 5 minute mark (half way through cooking).
How to reheat pizza in an Air Fryer
Making air fryer leftover pizza is a breeze! Reheating pizza in an air fryer couldn’t be easier.
To reheat in a stand alone air fryer:
- Preheat to 360 degrees.
- Place refrigerated cold pizza slices in the basket and cook for 3-6 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
- Remove the slices and allow to cool a couple minutes before enjoying.
To reheat in an air fryer oven:
- Preheat to 375 degrees on the air fryer setting with regular convection on.
- Place refrigerated cold pizza slices in the basket rack and cook for 5-8 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
- Remove the slices and allow to cool a couple minutes before enjoying.
Tips for the perfect Air Fryer Frozen Pizza
- Cook frozen, do not thaw your pizza first.
- Always preheat your air fryer unless a specific recipe directs not to.
- Spray the top of the frozen pizza with a bit of oil before cooking to protect the toppings. This is especially true if you are adding additional non-frozen toppings to the pizza.
- If adding additional toppings to your pizza be sure to cut them in small pieces so everything will cook evenly.
- If you notice your pizza is cooking too quickly on the top, lower the temperature to 360 degrees. This is more likely in a stand alone air fryer with a basket than an air fryer oven.
- For the crispiest crust do not place your pizza on parchment paper or another liner.
Can you bake a frozen pizza on parchment paper?
While you can cook a frozen pizza on parchment paper it will yield a softer crust. If your aim is a crispier crust then you will want to nix the parchment paper and make sure the crust makes direct contact with the rack.
Homemade Frozen Pizza
To make your own homemade frozen pizzas you can use either a store bought frozen crust or make your own. This is perfect if you are working with some dietary restrictions like gluten free or just like making your own pizzas! For reference my favorite gluten free pizza crust works great along with my favorite dairy free/vegan cheese!
To assemble, add the sauce of your choice to your baked and cooled or frozen pizza crust and top with any shredded cheese of your liking. Add any thin cut veggies and meats you would like and then freeze the whole pizza on a flat baking sheet. Once frozen transfer it to an airtight zip lock bag or use a food saver. Pizzas can be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months. Cook straight from frozen following the instructions below.
