- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to catch any crumbs or cheese drippings. This will help reduce the mess and make cleaning up easier afterward.
- Do not stack the pizza in the air fryer basket, otherwise, it will not cook evenly and properly.
- Lift out pizza from the air fryer basket using a pancake spatula, it makes it easier to lift the pizza without ruining it.
- For a crispier crust, preheat the naan in the air fryer at 195CF/385F for 2 minutes.
- Start checking on the pizza for 3 minutes to judge how long you will continue to reheat it, particularly if warming a thick crust-styled pizza.
- I recommend using pre-cooked toppings such as chicken, mushroom, vegetables, or turkey.
