Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Layer cheese first as a binder, then add toppings evenly to prevent wet spots and ensure even cooking.
Watch for the cheese edges to brown slightly and bubble vigorously—this signals it's done and prevents overdrying.
Use parchment paper cut slightly smaller than your air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate underneath.
Pat dry any fresh vegetables before adding to reduce steam and keep the base crispy.

Substitutions

Mozzarella → Cheddar or provolone (will brown differently; adjust timing by 1–2 minutes)
Ham → Italian sausage, pepperoni, or ground beef (ensure pre-cooked)
Mushrooms & bell pepper → zucchini slices, spinach, or onions (pat dry first)
Black olives → sun-dried tomatoes or capers (use sparingly for moisture control)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes until warmed through.
