A small frozen pizza crisps up properly in the air fryer - nothing like the floppy microwave version - in about eight minutes. Check yours fits first; the 7-8 inch ones suit most baskets.
Ingredients
Quantities for 1 small pizza (7-8 inch) - the times on this page assume that much in the basket.

How to air fry frozen pizza

- Cook for about 8 minutes.
Pro tip
Keep an eye on it; air fryers melt cheese very quickly.
How to tell when it's done
It's ready when the cheese is fully melted and bubbling and the crust edge is golden and firm. If the top browns before the base crisps, drop the temperature a little next time.
Converting from an oven recipe
If your recipe is written for a conventional oven, lower the temperature by about 25°F (15°C) and reduce the time by roughly 20% to land near 360°F for 8 minutes. Need a different starting point? Use the conversion calculator.
