Does pizza taste good in air fryer? ›

I just love using an air fryer for pizza so much. The best pizza I've ever made at home is my air fryer pizza recipe, using my viral naan dough as the crust and this delicious pizza red sauce. The crust turns out crisp on the bottom but soft and airy and light on the edges with melty cheese and caramelized toppings.

Prep: Place your leftover pizza slices in your air fryer in a single layer. Optionally place parchment paper under the slices to make cleanup easier. Air Fry: Set air fryer to 350°F (176°C). For thin crust, air fry for 3 minutes.

Add the toppings and continue to bake for 15 minutes or so, tenting the pizza with foil if the toppings appear to be browning too quickly. Remove the pan from the fryer; again, tongs can help. To prevent the dreaded soggy bottom, slide the pizza out of the pan onto a rack (or into a frying pan; see below).

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.

Yes! An air fryer does a great job baking a pizza! Use a little less heat and a little less time than you normally would. (If you set an oven to 400 degrees, set the air fryer to 350 degrees, and set the timer 7 to 15 minutes less) Keep you eye on your meal until you get the settings correct for what you are making!

Place your pizza slices flat in the , middle of your air fryer. Set the temperature to 375 and the timer to two minutes, and start the air fryer on bake. Check the pizza after one minute to ensure it's not burning. Remove or continue cooking as necessary, checking in often for optimal results.

Because the air fryer's heat is low, the crust needs more cooking time. This has two unfortunate effects. One, the heat is able to penetrate deeper into the dough, making for a tough texture instead of the light, crispy, chewy cornichone that is the hallmark of a great pizza.

Cook 1 or 2 pizzas at a time, depending on the size of your air-fryer. Carefully lift the assembled pizza into the basket of the air-fryer and cook for 4-6mins until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Lift out and slice into pieces. Serve while warm.

Here's how to make pizza in your air fryer: Set the air fryer to 380-400 F and heat the frozen pizza for six to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the crust), or until golden and crispy. Due to size constraints, an air fryer is ideal for a small, personal pie or heating individual slices.

How do you keep the bottom of pizza crust from getting soggy? ›

Spread 3 tablespoons pizza sauce onto the crust in the air fryer basket and sprinkle with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Top with 7 pepperoni slices and half of the onion slices. Sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook until crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted, 7 to 9 minutes.

Cooking a frozen pizza in an air fryer lets it cook on both sides quickly. The pizza will cook faster than it can thaw, preventing it from becoming soggy as it bakes. The convection of the air fryer will cook it evenly across the surface, making the middle done and the crust crispy.

The Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven does everything a typical air fryer does while doubling as a toaster oven. It can even fit a 13-inch pizza, which makes it the perfect air fryer for nights in.

I made frozen pizza in a toaster oven and an air fryer to see which makes the best slice. The air fryer burned the top while undercooking the bottom of the crust. But with a little prep, the toaster oven made a great slice of cheesy, crispy pizza.
