Ingredients

• 1 Frozen Mama Rosa’s Pizza (Pepperoni, Deluxe, Sausage, Cheese, or any available variety)

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 cooking and a crisp base.

Step 2: Remove Packaging

Unwrap the pizza completely, discarding all plastic and cardboard. If the pizza is too large for your air fryer, cut it into halves or quarters.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Place the pizza in a single layer in the basket or tray. Cooking times will vary based on size and crust style:

• Personal-sized pizzas or flat crust: 375°F for 7–9 minutes

• Thicker crust or deluxe topping versions: 360°F for 10–12 minutes, tent with foil for the first half if needed

Step 4: Check for Doneness

The crust should be crisp, the cheese melted and bubbly, and the internal temp should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let the pizza rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice and enjoy.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Cut Before Cooking if Needed

If your air fryer is small, slice the pizza into portions that fit easily.

Tent with Foil to Protect Cheese

If the cheese starts to brown too fast, lightly cover with foil during the first half of cooking.

Add Toppings Before Cooking

Layer on a few extra mushrooms, pepperoni, or cheese for a personalized slice.

Rotate Halfway for Even Crisping

If your air fryer cooks unevenly, rotate the pizza once during cooking.
