    Ingredients

    Frozen Pizza: This recipe works well with any brand of frozen pizza that is available at your local grocery store. Amazing brands to choose from are Totino’s, Ellio’s, Red Baron, DiGiorno, Stouffer’s, Celeste, Trader Joe’s (Giottos) and Tony’s. Cooking times may also vary depending on the size of your frozen pizza.

    Cooking Spray: You may lightly spray the top of your pizza to prevent the toppings from burning and grease the fryer basket to help ease with sticking but this is purely optional.

    How do you cook frozen pizza in an air fryer

    frozen pizza in air fryer basket
    1. Preheat air fryer to 350°
    2. Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Spray top of pizza to avoid toppings burning.
    3. Place frozen pizza in fryer basket. Do not overfill basket. 
    4. Cook for approximately 6-9 minutes on 350°
    5. Depending on your air fryer, the size of your fryer basket and amount of frozen pizza in the basket, you can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until you reach your desired level of crispness as needed.

    Pre-Heating Air Fryer: I recommend pre-heating air fryer. However, if you choose not to pre-heat, add about 3-4 minutes to your cook time.

    Check for crispiness at the end of your cook time and add additional cook time as needed until your mini pizzas reach desired level of crispiness.

    Frozen Pizza Brands: This recipe works for most brands of frozen pizza including Stouffer’s, Red Barron, Celeste, Totino’s, Ellio’s and DiGiorno.

    Thin Crust or Deep Dish Frozen Pizza: For thin crust pizza, start with 5 minutes. For deep dish pizza, start with 8 minutes (and cook additional 1-2 minutes as needed).

    How to cook frozen pizza in air fryer toaster oven

    1. Remove the plastic wrapper of the frozen pizza and place it directly on the oven rack.
    2. Follow the same cooking instructions for regular air fryer.
    3. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked.
    4. Carefully take the pizza out of the oven rack and serve.

    Which air fryer is best for cooking pizza

    In the market, there are two types of air fryers: the basket type and the toaster oven. And while most of us mention pizza, we think of the oven.

    Baking pizza in a basket-type air fryer unit is a lot more common than you think.

    For toaster ovens, one of the best units in the market today is the Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Airfryer. This toaster oven can bake a pizza as large as 12 inches!

    You can go from frozen pizzas to personalized homemade pizzas with this air fryer oven.

    For basket-type air fryers, Cosori Air Fryer Max XL is definitely on the top of the list.

    This air fryer unit features 11 presets and is fully digitalized: making cooking, baking, grilling, broiling, toasting, and air frying easy and all in one click!

    Other trusted air fryer brands include Ninja Foodi, Instant, GoWISE, and Chefman so be sure to check those out!

    How to reheat frozen pizza in air fryer

    Reheating frozen pizza in air fryer is WAY better compared to doing the regular conventional oven method.

    For one, you wouldn’t need to wait for such a big oven to preheat just for a slice of pizza.  The air fryer also makes things crispier—all in the span of a few minutes!

    And depending on how many leftover slices of pizza you’ll reheat, it will only take a few minutes to reheat them.

    Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees (F). Once heated, cook for 1-2 minutes and check.

    If you have a basket-type air fryer, then it’s best to place only 1-2 slices at a time when reheating for best results.

    You may also place aluminum foil on the fryer basket to prevent sticking and to make clean-up easier for you once the cheese starts melting.

    For toaster oven-type air fryers, you may place in as many slices as you can when reheating pizza so long as it fits in the tray,

    FAQ and expert tips

    Can you air fry Red Baron pizza? 

    Yes. You may cook Red Baron Pizza in air fryer for about 6-8 minutes at 350°F (preheated) until the crust becomes nice and crispy. Make sure not to overcook the pizza as the toppings might get burnt.

    How long do you cook a Totino’s pizza in air fryer? 

    You may air fry Totino’s pizza for 6-8 minutes at 350°F. Remember to preheat your air fryer at the same temperature before air frying frozen pizza. 

    Can frozen pizza go in air fryer? 

    Yes, absolutely. As long as the size of your frozen pizza can fit inside the fryer basket, you may cook frozen pizza in your air fryer. If the frozen pizza dough is slightly larger, you may cut the pizza in half and cook with two batches.

    What setting for frozen pizza in air fryer? 

    Set your air fryer temperature to 350°F and preheat for about 5 minutes before cooking your frozen pizza. Then cook the pizza at the same temperature for 6-8 minutes or until the crust becomes golden brown and the cheese is properly melted.
