Tips for Success
For best results with this recipe, preheat the air fryer at a higher temperature and air fry the Totino’s party pizza at a lower temperature. If find that this allows for more even cooking.
Don’t thaw the frozen pizza before air frying it.
Every air fryer will vary. The first time you make this recipe, monitor the Totinos pizza and check on it 2 minutes before the cooking time is up. Adjust the recipe as needed.
Change things up by adding some extra topping after the pizza has cooked. You can add chopped basil, arugula, fresh tomatoes, and sauteed vegetables (e.g. thinly sliced or chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms).
Serve the pizza right away to prevent it from becoming soggy.
FAQS
You shouldn’t need to use oil in this recipe. I haven’t had any issues with sticking. If you want extra crispy pizza, you can use an oil spray to coat the basket lightly. Use olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil. I prefer to use avocado oil due to the high smoke point. And I avoid canned cooking spray.
I like to preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F but cook the pizza for about 11 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. You can increase the temperature to 400 degrees for the last few minutes if you want a crispier crust.
Yes, you can use the same timing and temperature to make the pizza using the Instant Pot air fryer lid, Duo Crisp or Pro Crisp.
I used Totino’s Party Pizza – Totinos triple cheese pizza, pepperoni, or triple meat . You don’t need to use Totinos – you can use Trader Joes or any other brand. You can use personal pizzas too. You might need to adjust the cooking time. Just keep an eye on it while they’re cooking.
This recipe was tested using Cosori and Duo Crisp brands of air fryer. You can use other brands including the Ninja Foodi.
Air fry it for a few extra minutes at 400 degrees. To get a softer crust, reduce the cooking time by a minute. We don’t use the higher temperature throughout because the pizza can get burned on the outside and be raw on the inside.
Yes, reheating pizza in the air fryer is super easy. Air fry the pizza for 2 to 3 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
It depends on the capacity of your air fryer. You just need to make sure that they’re not packed too tight, which can prevent air circulation. If you need to air fry double the quantity, you can do it in two batches. The second batch may take less time to cook because the air fryer is hot.

I did everything perfect and ended up with a soggy mess. Not impressed.
Neena Panicker says
Your air fryer may have a different wattage than mine, or the air circulation may not have been enough – did you use parchment or foil? Sorry you had trouble.
Samantha says
I’m not sure what brand you have for air fryer or pizza, but for reference, I have a Ninja and grabbed a couple of small Totinos Party Pizzas. The first pizza came out slightly soft (after 11 minutes), so I changed the temp to 375 degrees for another 4 minutes and it was perfect!! I did have to cut the corners of the pizzas off for it to fit since I have be a round basket. Hopefully you can try it again and tweak it to however works for you.

I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Every air fryer is different, and the wattage and capacity of the air fryer can change the cooking time. I always mention in the recipe notes that you need to check on them before the time is up.
