Ingredients

• 1 Great Value Frozen Pizza (personal size or slice of larger pizza)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 2–3 minutes. This ensures the crust gets nice and crisp.

Step 2: Prepare the Pizza

Remove all packaging and place the frozen pizza directly in the air fryer basket or tray. If using a larger pizza, cut it to fit without overlapping.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 7–10 minutes. Check at the 7-minute mark to see if the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.

Step 4: Check for Doneness

Crust should be firm and crisp, cheese melted, and toppings hot. Add 1–2 extra minutes if needed.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don't Overlap Slices

Always cook in a single layer. If using multiple slices, leave space around each for even air circulation.

Watch the Cheese

If the top is browning too quickly, reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) to avoid burning.

Use a Liner (Optional)

Use a perforated parchment liner to prevent sticking or cheese drips, but make sure it’s air fryer-safe.

Add Toppings

Add extra pepperoni, veggies, or shredded cheese before air frying for a custom upgrade.
