Air Fryer Pizza Toast is a true innovation of American cooking using an Air Fryer, and this pizza is the easiest creation ever for pizza cravings.

We have always air-fried pizza leftover pizza from our favorite take-out or "homemade from scratch pizza" because it truly tastes just like it came fresh out of the box again.

Then one day thinking about how we've always used French bread sliced to make pizza, we tried it in the air fryer, and viola, crunchy, delicious, and faster than the conventional oven when air-fried!

We've tried gluten-free bread, Texas toast, regular slices of Italian bread, and French bread and they all came out delicious with either pizza sauce or even fresh chopped tomatoes and basil toppings.

If you ever want a quick late-night snack, try this version of fast food pizza right in your own air fryer you won't be disappointed it's really good.

You may remember our oven-quick pizza, which we've been making for years IE: English muffin pizza, French Bread pizza and Pita bread pizza, the only difference is now it's super quick using an Air Fryer.

Pizza Air Fried Made Easy

We grew up in an all-Italian home in Central N.Y. and everything was made from scratch except on occasion mom would make muffin pizza after school for a snack.

Mom would call quick pizza "poor man's pizza" because Mom always made everything from scratch and her special recipe for Homemade Italian Pizza Dough (which was the best I might add) made the best homemade pizza.

Now with modern technology, these easy-fried pizza does a great job of making a crunchy and quick fix for any pizza lover.

It's perfect for saving time, for new cooks, and really economical for a quick bite to eat.

Not to mention it's perfect for individual servings for one person.

For oven instructions refer to the recipe card at the end if you don't have an air fryer, don't worry you can still make pizza toast!
