A little frozen pizza in the air fryer is my guilty lunch when I'm home on my own. The crust goes properly crisp - nothing like the floppy microwave version - in about eight minutes. Just check yours fits; the 7-8 inch ones suit my basket.
How to air fry frozen pizza

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, I knock the temperature down 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.
