Making great homemade pizza can be hard, or so we thought. Turns out, we just hadn't tried making it in an air fryer yet! This super simple recipe yields some of the best pizza to ever come out of our kitchen. The air fryer excels in the cooking crust—ours was airy in the center and crunchy on the outside, just like in a true pizza oven! We're beyond hooked, and we think you will be too. Who knew great pizza could be this easy?!

Ingredients

Basil leaves, for serving
8 oz. Mozzarella ball, cut into 1/4" slices
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/3 cup Crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil, divided
8 oz. Pizza dough

Method

01

On a clean, floured surface, gently flatten the ball of dough with your hands until about 8” in diameter (or roughly smaller than your air fryer basket). Repeat with second dough ball. Brush both with olive oil and transfer one, oil side up, into the basket of your air fryer.
02

In a medium bowl, stir to combine crushed tomatoes, garlic, and oregano. Spoon half tomato mixture onto the center of rolled out pizza dough, then spread into an even layer, leaving 1/2" outer crust bare.
03

Add half the mozzarella slices to pizza. Air fry on 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
04

Remove first pizza from air fryer basket using 2 pairs of tongs, and garnish with basil leaves. Assemble and cook second pizza, garnish, and serve.
