Air Fryer Mini Frozen Pizza - Quick, Crispy, and Comforting

Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Mini frozen pizzas (cheese, pepperoni, or your favorite brand)
  • Optional add-ons: Extra shredded mozzarella or Parmesan
  • Olive oil (for brushing crust edges)
  • Dried oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic powder
  • Fresh basil (if you have it)
  • Extra toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or pepperoni minis
  • Nonstick spray or parchment liners made for air fryers (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. A short preheat helps crisp the crust fast.
  • Prep the pizzas. Keep them frozen. If you want to boost flavor, brush the crust edges with a tiny bit of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder or oregano.
  • Load the basket. Place mini pizzas in a single layer with space around each one. Do not stack. Use a liner only if your basket tends to stick.
  • Air fry for 6–9 minutes at 380°F (193°C). Start checking at 6 minutes. You’re aiming for bubbly cheese and a lightly browned crust.
  • Rotate if needed. Some air fryers have hot spots. If the cheese browns too fast on one side, rotate the pizzas halfway through.
  • Add toppings at the right time. Extra cheese or delicate toppings can go on during the last 2 minutes so they melt without burning.
  • Rest briefly. Let the pizzas sit for 1–2 minutes after cooking so the cheese sets and the crust stays crisp.
  • Finish and serve. Add fresh basil or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
