Most people aren’t aware that you can air fry pizza instead of cooking it in the oven. Air fryer pizza is a great way to make a fast meal and eliminate sogginess from pizza.

This post covers the best air fryer pizzas, how you can store pizza, and how to warm frozen pizza.

Let’s get started!

1. Tortilla Air Fryer Pizza Recipe

This homemade pizza recipe takes less than ten minutes to deliver mouth-watering results. If you get concerned about how many calories are in your pizza, you’ll be glad to know that this is a low-carb recipe. Let’s see what you need to make your air fryer pizza.

2. Ham Air Fryer Pizza Recipe

A tortilla base isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. So, this next recipe uses dough instead. I love this recipe because it ensures the dough cooks into a crispy crust that firmly holds your pizza toppings.

Ingredients

• Pre-made or homemade pizza dough
• Pizza sauce
• Fresh herbs
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• Ham (chopped)

If you want to cut the time to make your air fryer pizza, you should buy premade pizza dough. On the other hand, if you don’t mind the extra work, you can make your own pizza dough at home. Here are the steps to follow.

1. Par-bake your rolled dough for about 5 to 6 minutes in the air fryer without toppings to make the pizza base easier to handle as you cook.

3. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the homemade pizza and finish with the ham slices as the last toppings layer.
4. Place the pizza in the air fryer at a temperature of 360°F and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Ensure the cheese melts and the toppings begin to brown.

How to Store Leftover Pizza

The best way to preserve your pizza is by cooling it. This means you should put it in your fridge but don’t let it stay for more than two days. The other way to store pizza is in your freezer. It allows you to store the pizza for up to two months.

How to Reheat Pizza

There are several ways to heat a leftover pizza after storing it in the fridge or freezer. One of them is using your air fryer by heating it to 375° and putting the pizza inside for about 5 minutes. You could do the same using an oven, microwave, or skillet.
