Recipe Tips that worked for me:
- Preheat the air fryer which will give you a crispier base and even cooking.
- Be careful not to use too much sauce. Too much can make the pita soggy, so use just a thin layer.
- Keep the toppings light and evenly spread so everything cooks evenly and doesn’t weigh down the pita.
- Make sure you use shredded cheese melts faster and more evenly than slices.
- Air fryers cook quickly—start with 4–5 minutes and check often to avoid burning.
Recipe FAQ's

Pita bread is a type of flatbread made with yeast, which often creates a pocket when baked. Flatbread is a broader category that can be thinner, unleavened, and comes in various forms like naan or lavash.
Pita and tortillas can both be healthy—whole wheat pita has more fiber, while corn tortillas are usually lower in calories and fat.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: Let the pizzas cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try this fun Pizza Storage Container.
Freezer: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and placing in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.
Thaw and Reheat: If the pizzas are frozen, there's no need to defrost! Simply reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to restore the crispiness. If the pizzas are frozen, there's no need to defrost!
