Rice crust pizza blends 100 g of air-fryer-cooked rice with eggs and mozzarella into a smooth base, crisps it at 180 °C for 15 minutes, then tops it with a 10-minute buffalo chicken — diced breast simmered with onion, broth, 3 tbsp of sriracha and cream — plus mozzarella for a final 5-minute melt. Crispy base, creamy heat on top, naturally wheat-free. Serves 4.
Crispy mashed potato pizza rescues 400 g of leftover mash: stir in grated Parmesan, spoon it into a tortilla-lined baking dish, cover with a 60-second blender sauce of canned tomatoes, sriracha, oregano, salt and sugar, top with pepperoni and mozzarella and bake at 180 °C for 10 minutes. A tall, crispy-edged tortilla pie with a warm, creamy potato heart. Serves 4.
Shredded tortilla pizza slices 4 tortillas and 100 g of ham into thin strips, coats them in a custard of 3 eggs, 100 ml of cream, salt and Italian herbs, presses the mix into a pan and bakes it under pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni at 180 °C for 25 minutes. Thicker than pizza, closer to a savory pie — the viral TikTok bake that actually works. Serves 4.
These little pizza bites bake in a muffin tin from a blended cheese batter that swaps wheat flour for tapioca starch, so they come out chewy, bready, and naturally gluten-free. Blending is the key step: run the cheddar, eggs, and cottage cheese until the batter is smooth and glossy, because leftover lumps bake up grainy. Fill each oiled cup about two-thirds full, spoon a teaspoon of pizza sauce on top, and finish with mini pepperoni. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes; the bites are done when the tops are golden and puffed. No mini pepperoni? Chopped ham or olives work just as well.
This pizza swaps the dough for a crust of seasoned ground beef, so the whole thing is low-carb and ready in about 20 minutes of oven time. The trick is baking the beef base on its own at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes first: the juices render out, the meat firms up, and slices hold together instead of turning soggy. Pour off any liquid before the sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni go on. Back in the oven, watch for the cheese to bubble across the middle, not just melt at the edges. Leaner beef, around 90%, keeps grease from pooling on top.
These little pizzas swap wheat dough for a base of blended cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour, so each round carries more protein than a standard slice. Blending the cottage cheese with the eggs until smooth is the step that matters: the curds vanish into the batter, giving you a light base that holds its shape with no kneading. Spoon it into small circles, add pizza sauce, mozzarella, and a few pepperoni slices, then give them about 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F); they are ready when the cheese has gone bubbly across the top. Cheddar can stand in for the mozzarella, and the almond flour keeps everything gluten-free.
These handheld snacks turn plain tortillas into crisp, pizza-filled cones, all in the air fryer. Each tortilla half gets rolled into a cone, pinned with a toothpick, and crisped at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes before any filling goes in; that first pass is what keeps the cone sturdy so the sauce cannot soak through. Pull the toothpicks, pack in grated mozzarella and sliced pepperoni, spoon pizza sauce into the middle, then air-fry another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey. Stand the cones upright in the basket so they hold their shape. About 20 minutes start to finish, and the batch serves four.
Two layers of pizza dough go into a waffle maker with sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni sealed between them, and 10 minutes later you have a stuffed pocket pizza with deep, crisp ridges. The waffle plates press heat into both sides at once, so the dough browns top and bottom without an oven. Leave a clear border of dough around the filling and press the top layer down firmly before closing the lid; that seal keeps the cheese in as it melts. You will know it is done when the edges turn golden and release easily from the plates. No pepperoni on hand? Ham or mushrooms work just as well.
Here is a snack that treats frozen onion rings as ready-made pizza bases: crisp breaded rings under melted mozzarella and pepperoni, straight from a 180°C (350°F) oven in 20 minutes. Spread the rings in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray so hot air can crisp the breading instead of steaming it under the cheese. Grate the mozzarella yourself; it melts smoother and stretches better than pre-shredded. Check the timing on your onion ring bag, and if the rings need more than 20 minutes, bake them alone for a few minutes before adding the toppings. They are done when the cheese is bubbling across the tray.
Split a French loaf lengthwise, pile the cut side with garlic butter, sauce, mozzarella, sausage and jalapeños, and it turns into pizza on a covered grill in about 5 minutes. The garlic butter does double duty: it seasons the base and seals the crumb, so the sauce cannot soak in and make the bread soggy. Keep the sauce to a thin layer, about 3 tbsp for a whole loaf, for the same reason. You will know it is done when the cut edges are crisp, the cheese has fully melted and the sausage slices are browned. No grill? Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10–12 minutes instead.
A thin-crust pizza built on two tortillas, ready from the air fryer in 8 minutes at 180°C (350°F). The trick is the layer of grated cheese sandwiched between the tortillas: as it melts, it glues them into one sturdy base that stays crisp instead of sagging under the sauce. Spread pizza sauce on top, add more cheese and pepperoni, and cook until the edges brown and the cheese bubbles. If the tortilla lifts in the fan's airflow, hold it down for the first minute with a small trivet or a skewer laid across the top. Rest it briefly on a plate before slicing so the base sets.
