Ingredients

• 1 Frozen Uno Pizza (deep dish or classic crust)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 minutes. This helps the crust cook evenly and crisp up properly.

Step 2: Remove Packaging

Take the pizza out of all plastic and cardboard packaging. If it comes in a paper or foil pan, check that it’s oven-safe—otherwise, transfer to an air fryer-safe tray or foil sheet.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Place the pizza in the air fryer basket or tray.

• Thin crust or personal-sized pizzas: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7–10 minutes.

• Thicker or deep dish pizzas: Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 12–16 minutes, covering lightly with foil for the first 8 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Step 4: Check for Doneness

The crust should be golden brown and the cheese melted and bubbling. The internal temp should be 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Let Cool & Serve

Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice (if needed) and serve hot with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd

Only one pizza at a time—leave room for air circulation for the crispiest crust.

Cover with Foil for Thicker Pizzas

Lightly tent foil over the pizza during the first half of cooking to avoid burnt cheese before the center heats through.

Add Toppings Before Cooking

Feel free to add extra cheese, pepperoni, veggies, or seasonings before air frying.

Use a Foil Sling for Easy Removal

Place the pizza on a sheet of foil with the ends sticking out of the basket for easy lifting after cooking.
