Why Make Personal Pizzas in the Air Fryer?

Folks, the air fryer really does make it incredibly easy to make delicious personal pizzas that are ready to eat in almost no time at all.

This is because air fryers circulate heat all around the food, which means your pita bread pizza cook in the air fryer much faster than the oven. And with absolutely no oil at all, which means these cute little pita bread pizzas contain less calories and fat than traditional pizza.

The mini chefs and their friends just looooooove making their own personal pizza in the air fryer. They have so much fun assembling and adding as much or as little of their favourite toppings.

Plus each kid having their own personal pizzas means no more arguing over who got the larger slice. Which is sweet music to this mom’s ears. #airfryerforthewin

Using the air fryer is a fast and easy way to reheat leftover pizza. It returns the cheese to a nice bubbly, melty state whilst keeping the crust nice and crisp (no soggy bottoms here!). Just follow these simple steps:

  • Set your air fryer to 350 F, or to 325 F for a very thin crust pizza.
  •  Depending on the size of your air fryer, you can reheat a single personal pizza, or 1 – 2 slices of a full-sized pizza at a time.
  • To ensure the pizza heats evenly, make sure the slices do not touch or overlap.
  • Cook the pizza for 3-4 mins, then check for doneness. Continue to cook in increments of 1-2 additional mins until your pizza is thoroughly reheated.
