Chef’s Tips

• Top this pizza however you’d like! For a pepperoni pizza, place sliced pepperoni on top before cooking. Have fun with customizing this pizza and making it your own!
• Check on your air fryer pizza after the 8 minute mark to asses how quickly it’s cooking. Not all air fryers are created equal, and some may take more or less time to cook. Also, the cheese can burn quickly, so keep an eye on it once the 8 minutes is up!
• Use the air fryer to reheat any leftovers! Cook your leftover pizza at 380° Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
