Today I’m going to show you how to cook a frozen cauliflower crust pizza in the air fryer. It’s fast, convenient, and yields perfectly crisp slices every time. Since whole pizzas don’t usually fit, I’ll share easy tips for cutting and cooking them evenly. The circulating air ensures a delicious golden crust you’ll love. Try it with brands like Milton’s or Caulipower cauliflower crust pizza.

Another inventive use for the air fryer!

🍕 Frozen Cauliflower Pizza in the Air Fryer Directions
Remove all packaging from the frozen pizza and cut it into slices that fit your air fryer using a pizza cutter. Most cauliflower crust pizzas have a thin crust, so slicing should be easy.

Arrange the slices in a single, non-touching layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400F (200C) for 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust turns crispy. (Use the top rack if you have an air fryer oven.)

If cooking in batches, remember that later batches may take less time since the air fryer will already be hot.
Hot tip! My air fryer oven’s “pizza” setting cooks at 300F (150C), which is too low to crisp frozen pizza. Don’t assume your air fryer’s pizza setting is best for a crispy crust.

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 2 recipe (transition or weight maintenance). Homemade pizza often provides more control over ingredients, but frozen options can be a convenient choice. Many frozen pizzas and prepared entrees are higher in sodium and may contain unwanted additives, so it’s helpful to enjoy them in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet. Caulipower offers several cauliflower crust pizzas, including pepperoni, Margherita, veggie, and three cheese varieties. We chose the pepperoni pizza simply because it sounded good. It’s wheat free, gluten free, and lower in calories than most traditional pepperoni pizzas. To round out your air fryer cauliflower pizza meal, add some extra protein and vegetables. Non-starchy veggies are low in calories and provide volume to help you feel satisfied. A bagged salad mix is a quick option, or try one of these ideas: For extra protein, top your pizza with shredded rotisserie chicken. You can also add crumbled cooked Italian Sausage, Chorizo, or Homemade Sausage for more flavor and heartiness. Nutrition information is for one serving of Caulipower pepperoni pizza (i.e., half of the pizza, as listed on the box).

Nice, Summer. Like you, I do frozen pizza, maybe, three or four times a year. As such, I didn’t know much of the available options. That mystification ended with your splendid write-up. Thanks.
I appreciate, too, you orienting this information toward those who don’t have much time before dinner in the evenings. That definitely describes my weeknights. As you know, I do a lot of cooking from scratch, but that’s on the weekends. During the week, I’m looking more to maximize quality without meal prep taking hours.
Your article squares that circle (so to speak) nicely. A+!
Thanks! It’s kind of fun to try out the newer options out there and it saves me time on dinner too. I know some people do frozen pizza a lot more often than we do, so hopefully this will be helpful to them as well! 🙂
