Surprisingly low in calories and amazingly satisfying these Perfect Personal Pizzas (in an Air Fryer) will be your new favorite snack.
We ordered an Air Fryer a few weeks ago and so I’ve been experimenting with ways to use it. So far my favorite creation has been these personal pizzas. I start with mini naan rounds. Topped with a good quality jarred pizza sauce, shredded cheese and pepperoni. My kids love these! Once school starts again I’ll be sure and stock these ingredients in the house at all times for quick and easy after school snacks my kids can make themselves.
As these pizzas are pictured – topped with a small amount of pizza sauce, about 2 tablespoons of shredded pizza cheese and 6 to 7 mini pepperoni – they have just 200 calories per pizza. Serve one with celery or carrots or some apple slices or fresh berries and your kids have a yummy snack to fuel them for all their after school sports and activities.
Other topping ideas for Perfect Personal Pizzas (in an Air Fryer):
- Brush the naan lightly with olive oil and top with thin slices of fresh mozzarella. Bake as directed in the air fryer and top with sliced tomato and a little basil to serve.
- Spread the naan with a thin layer of hummus, chopped Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts and feta cheese.
- Thin layer of BBQ sauce, shredded rotisserie chicken, red onion and shredded Gouda cheese.
- Leftover taco meat, shredded cheddar cheese and salsa (plus lettuce and sour cream after baking).
- Cooked sausage, pesto and goat cheese.

Such an easy tasty snack. Never tried to make a pizza in an air-fryer, so clever!
foodtasticmom says
Thanks Alina!
Adrianne says
Yum, these look simple and delicious. I bet they taste as good as they look. I need to get me an air fryer STAT!
foodtasticmom says
They really are so tasty. My kids especially love them!
Danielle says
I love personal sized pizzas. Cooking them in an air fryer is a great idea! Looks delicious!
foodtasticmom says
Thank you Danielle
Cindy says
So delicious! We do this in our air fryer too! I just love all the things you can make in the air fryer!
foodtasticmom says
I do too. Very versatile and great for hungry kids.
Cliona says
What a great way to use your air fryer! I’d never think to use mine to make pizza but I will do now!
foodtasticmom says
I hope you try them!
Shivli says
Love this! The top of my pizza browned beautifully but the bottom did not. Any ideas of what I did wrong?
foodtasticmom says
Not sure. I think there are a variety of air-fryers. Ours don’t get super crispy on the bottom either. But I still feel like I’m eating a pizza.
Donn Leyba says
If you have a Phillips Airfryer it Brown is on the bottom, The Philips air fryer was my second Airfryer I have to now I never understood why it cost $200 more than the others but now I do
Christian says
If you oil both sides of Naan or tortilla and put in air fryer for about 6 minutes it will get crisp. Then add your toppings and cook again for about 6 minutes more.
foodtasticmom says
Great suggestion, thank you!
Frank says
Never got to recipe, too many pop up ads. It looked good
foodtasticmom says
Just curious, were you looking on your phone, laptop or tablet? I usually don’t have any complaints…
brittany says
that sucks :/ i didnt have any issues with ads either, but i am on a comnputer. the ads (sponsors) were there… but not in the way at all. and i prefer when a website has sponsors. then u know its good 🙂
Kim says
How do you keep the cheese from flying around? I want to try this but I did try a grilled cheese sandwich and the top bread and cheese moved with the air blowing around.
foodtasticmom says
Really? I know there are a lot of different brands and styles of air fryers. I have never had an issue with things flying around in mine! I have a Cozyna brand…
Pati says
My air fryer fan is very strong also & I use toothpicks as I read in a air fryer cookbook. It works great, try it.
foodtasticmom says
Great tip – thank you for sharing!
Marleen says
We had the same problem and we got an 8 inch round cooling rack to put over the pizza. It was suggested in a recipe and it helped a lot.
foodtasticmom says
Thanks for the reiterating this suggestion. I’m glad it worked for you!
Rob D says
This was great and took no time at all. Winner winner pizza dinner!
foodtasticmom says
So happy to hear this. Thank you for the 5-star review Rob. I appreciate it!
Andrea Smith says
You just made my night. This recipe and this recipe ( https://slice.seriouseats.com/2011/08/the-pizza-lab-how-to-make-new-england-greek-style-pizza-at-home.html) …well minus the homemade sauce ( Shout out to Don Pepinos Pizza sauce!). This had me SOOO nostalgic of my high school years, I was compelled to listen to Tiffany songs!
As I write this I’m waiting for a call back from my surgeon regarding the treatment of this cancer…for the fourth time. While simultaneously trying to figure out how to tell my elementary aged daughter that Mommy’s cancer back.
foodtasticmom says
Cancer sucks! Sending positive thoughts to you at this difficult time. Keep fighting. And eating pizza 🙂
Vanessa says
Can I use can biscuits. And if so how long to cook and temp
foodtasticmom says
The biscuit dough is raw. They cook quickly because I have used them in the air fryer to make donut bites. Based on that recipe it took 5 minutes at 350 for the biscuits to cook. I’m concerned that for pizza a whole biscuit might be too thick? Maybe cut them in half crossways to make a thinner crust? Let me know if you try it!
Tiffini says
Just made this tonight! I tried to make 2 at once but the one on the bottom didn’t brown as much so I had to put it back in. So quick and easy! Such a great idea! I didn’t use pepperoni and used slices of fresh mozzarella for my version of margarita pizza.
foodtasticmom says
So glad to hear this. Thank you for taking the time to rate and comment!
brittany mccord says
I amj excited to let my littles do this tonight. easy good recipe!
foodtasticmom says
Awesome, thank you!
Maria says
I don’t suppose you can use fresh pizza dough? Thoughts.
foodtasticmom says
I haven’t tried it. I feel like now I need to! My initial thought is no, but let me try it and I’ll come back and let you know what happened…
Rae Ann Woodrow says
This was a great idea, but I”m low carb/keto, so I used your basic idea and improvised. El Banderito makes a snack size tortilla that was a perfect fit in my 7qt air fryer. I used low carb pizza sauce (Rao’s or DelGrosso are amazing), some Italian sausage I had already browned and drained, a few sliced mushrooms, and mozzarella and parmesan to top it. I placed my pizza on a small square of parchment paper in the fryer basket and there was NO MESS to clean up. 6 minutes was pizza perfection!
foodtasticmom says
I always enjoy hearing how people customize my recipes to make them fit their own tastes or dietary needs. Thanks for taking the time to rate and comment.
Margaret Carmen says
Great idea for making a quick pizza in the air fryer! I will definitely give this a try. There are so many ways to adapt this recipe, as well, with different toppings. Thanks for sharing!
foodtasticmom says
Exactly, so many ways to customize these pizzas. You’re welcome!
Ginger says
That is waaay more than 2 tablespoons of cheese in the before picture.
Just made this, with pesto, mozz and left over chicken. Excellent.
foodtasticmom says
Haha, I do just eyeball ingredients a lot. I guess the amount of cheese was wishful thinking on my part 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it, with the correct (and generous) amount of cheese!
Sara says
Our family has made this several times, we brown the naan 3-4 minutes at 375, then add the toppings and cook for 4-6 more minutes. This is a wonderful recipe, thank you for sharing it!
foodtasticmom says
That’s a great idea to brown the naan first before adding the toppings. Thanks for sharing your tip. I’m happy your family likes this recipe!
