Using store bought pizza dough and jarred pizza sauce, you can be enjoying homemade personal pizzas in less than 15 minutes! Making air fryer pizza is easy to do and even the kids can make their own.
Why this recipe works
Making individual pizzas is not only fun, it’s a great way to please everyone, especially when they all have their own favorite pizza toppings.
While you could certainly use our favorite homemade pizza dough, we are making things easy by using premade crust to make these individual pizzas.
Making air fryer pizza is absolutely perfect for family pizza night, football parties, or any other get together!

PIZZA DOUGH – There are several premade pizza doughs and crusts available at your local grocery store. You can use canned crust, like Pillsbury pizza crust, or Betty Crocker pizza crust mix, which just requires that you add water. You can check the freezer section and refrigerated section as well for other brands of premade dough.
PIZZA SAUCE – While we do have an amazing homemade pizza sauce that we love to use, our favorite store bought version comes from Raos. It not only tastes great, it’s the lowest carb version we’ve seen.
TOPPINGS – The best part of making your own pizza is piling on your favorite toppings. We love Mozzarella cheese of course, but other toppings can include pizza sausage, pepperoni (the minis are awesome for these little air fryer pizzas), bell pepper, onion, sliced black olives, mushrooms, pineapple, bacon, ham, and anything else you can think of!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can make pizza ahead if you are planning to freeze them. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Assemble personal pizzas on the waxed lined sheet and place in the freezer. Freeze for 2-3 hours. When pizza is frozen, wrap each one in plastic wrap and store in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
To make your frozen pizza in the air fryer, remove from the freezer and unwrap. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-18 minutes. Alternatively, you can unwrap the frozen pizzas and thaw at room temperature, then bake for 12-15 minutes.
If you make extra, you can reheat them in the air fryer straight from the fridge. Air fry at 325 for 2-5 minutes, checking after 3 minutes.
You can also reheat take-out pizza in the air fryer! Follow the same instructions as above.
We love homemade pizza in this house, but these little air fryer pizzas are much quicker than the homemade versions that we reserve for all day get togethers.
