Ingredients

• 1 Frozen Pizza from Jewel-Osco (Signature Select, Culinary Circle, O Organics, DiGiorno, or your favorite brand)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes to ensure even, consistent crisping.

Step 2: Remove Packaging

Unwrap your pizza completely—remove plastic and cardboard. If it’s too large for your air fryer, cut into halves or quarters.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Place the pizza in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Adjust cook time based on pizza type:

• Thin crust or flatbread: 375°F for 7–9 minutes

• Rising crust or thicker pizzas: 360°F for 12–15 minutes, tent with foil during first half if needed

• Cauliflower crust: 375°F for 8–10 minutes

• French bread pizzas: 375°F for 10–12 minutes

Step 4: Check for Doneness

Look for golden-brown crust, fully melted cheese, and bubbling toppings. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Rest & Serve

Let the pizza sit for 2–3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Cut to Fit Smaller Air Fryers

If the whole pizza won’t fit, slice into sections to allow hot air to circulate.

Use Foil for Cheese-Heavy Pizzas

Tent foil over the pizza for the first 5–7 minutes to prevent the cheese from browning too quickly.

Customize Before Cooking

Add olives, mushrooms, extra cheese, or seasoning before air frying.

Rotate for Even Cooking

Turn the pizza or tray halfway through if needed to avoid hot spots.
