Notes

Cooking time is an estimate and varies by air fryer model and crust thickness.
Perishable pizza leftovers must be refrigerated within 2 hours and reheated to 165°F (74°C) before eating.
Nutrition is an estimate before meat toppings or extra cheese are added.
Times and nutrition are estimates. Follow your appliance instructions and check doneness.
Never preheat with a loose parchment liner. Keep any liner secured beneath food and away from the heating element.
