I made this Air Fryer Pizza for the first time a few weeks ago when I had some friends over for movie night. And to tell you that they loved it would be such an understatement! No one could believe that the pizza was made entirely at home from scratch. Or that I had used an air fryer to make it!
Even though I made the base at home using my no yeast pizza dough, the best part about making pizza in an air fryer is that a store-bought base works just as well. So believe me when I say that making pizza in an air fryer is totally game-changing!
Ingredients Overview
How To Make Air Fryer Pizza
Here’s a step-by-step collage showing you how to make air fryer pizza:
1. Divide the dough into three parts. This will make approx three 6-inch pizzas at ¼ inch thickness. Form the dough into a ball, dust it with some dry flour and roll it out.
2. Place the rolled-out pizza dough on a parchment paper sheet and prick it with a fork.
3. Transfer to a pre-heated air fryer and bake for 2 minutes on each side at 180C
4. Repeat this step for the remaining dough. You can store these pre-baked pizza bases in the freezer for up to two weeks when stored in an air-tight zip-lock bag.
5. Spread some pizza sauce on top of the base, add your toppings and grated cheese.
6. Brush with olive oil around the edges.
7. Transfer back into the air fryer basket. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 170C or till the cheese has melted and the base is slightly crisp.
8. Serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Richa’s Top Tips
- If using a store-bought base, make sure to pick a size that will fit into your air fryer.
- The cook time for your pizza may change according to the dough you are using. Store-bought pizza bases will cook a lot faster as they are pre-baked, while the homemade dough may take slightly longer.
- If you are using fresh dough, first cook it in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes before adding the toppings. This will prevent the cheese and other toppings from getting overcooked.
- Preheat the air fryer for just a couple minutes before adding in the pizza. Although this isn’t a necessity, preheating your air fryer helps in cooking it more evenly.
- Line your tray with parchment paper before putting the pizza into the air fryer basket. This will prevent things from sticking to the tray and make lifting it out and cleaning so much easier.
More Pizza Topping Ideas
This dish is super customisable, so you can get really creative with the toppings and add anything you like. Some of my favourite pizza toppings include:

Common questions
1. Can you cook pizza in an air fryer?
Yes, absolutely! Air fryers are nothing but countertop ovens, so it is totally possible to cook a pizza in it. In fact, air fryers cook some of the best, crispiest pizzas I have ever tried and I would highly recommend making one ASAP. Plus, since it’s smaller than a traditional oven, it takes much less time to cook too. Win-win!
2. How long does it take to cook a pizza in an air fryer?
This really depends on the air fryer you have and the dough you are using. But to give you an idea, cooking a pizza in an air fryer should take you anywhere between 10-15 minutes. A good indication to find out if your pizza would be to check if the base is golden-brown and the cheese has completely melted.
3. What size pizza fits in an air fryer?
This is again something that will depend on the size of the air fryer you have. But generally speaking, individual-sized, 6 or 7-inch pizzas should fit into most air fryers.
4. Can you reheat pizza in the air fryer?
Absolutely! In fact, it’s a lot simpler to reheat pizza in the air fryer than in the oven or microwave. Start with preheating your air fryer for 2-3 minutes, before adding the cold pizza. Reheat for about 4 minutes and your perfectly crispy reheat pizza should be ready to eat!
