This easy keto pizza in the air fryer is one of my favorite quick lunches because they cook fast and still gives you that crispy, cheesy pizza texture without heating up the whole kitchen. Air frying the crust first helps keep the mini pizzas crisp instead of soggy, especially when adding sauce and toppings. We make them all the time for simple dinners alongside lighter sides like this green keto salad with chicken when we want something easy but still filling.
Another reason these crispy keto mini pizzas work so well is how customizable they are for different tastes and appetites. The kids usually load theirs up with pepperoni and cheese, while I’ll use leftover chicken or vegetables. They also make a great snack-style dinner paired with recipes like this BBQ chicken breast in the air fryer for game nights or casual weekends at home.

Items and Substitutions
- Arnold sandwich thins rolls: These serve as the low-carb pizza crust, though any keto pizza crust or roll can work. I love these to dip into my keto pizza soup, too.
- Low-carb pizza sauce: Yo Mama is my favorite, but whatever you find at the store is perfect.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: The best cheese for maximum gooey bites. Play around with different cheeses like Tex-Mex for different flavors.
- Parmesan cheese: This just gives an extra bit of savory flavor in each bite. Totally optional though.

Flavors To Try
The best part about crispy keto mini pizzas is that you can make them into anything you want! Here’s a few of our faves:
- Change the protein: Swap pepperoni with cooked bacon, grilled chicken, or ground beef for a different flavor.
- Add more veggies: Load up your mini pizzas with mushrooms, olives, spinach, or jalapeños.
- Use a different sauce: Substitute the pizza sauce with pesto, alfredo, or buffalo sauce for a flavor twist.
- Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce for a spicy kick similar to these keto air fryer chicken tenders.
How To Make Keto Pizzas In The Air Fryer
Step 1: Top each piece of bread with some of the pizza sauce and then sprinkle on the parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
Step 2: Top the mini pizzas with pepperoni slices, red onion, and green bell pepper.
Step 3: Place the mini pizzas in the tray of the air fryer and cook until the cheese is melted and the pizzas are done to your liking.
Note
To keep the bread from getting soggy, lightly toast the sandwich thins in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings. This will help achieve a crispier crust.
Helpful Hints
Pro tip: Pre-toast crust
For the crispiest crust, lightly toast the sandwich thins in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes before adding your sauce and toppings.
Here are a few more helpful hints:
- Don’t overload the toppings: Adding too many toppings can make the pizzas soggy or difficult to cook evenly.
- Use parchment paper: To prevent sticking, line the air fryer tray with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Watch the cooking time: Every air fryer is different, so keep an eye on your pizzas after 5 minutes to avoid burning.
- Storing leftovers: Place any leftover keto air fryer mini pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Simply pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy again. You can also reheat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, but the air fryer method keeps them crispier.
Serving Suggestions
These low-carb air fryer mini pizzas are easy to turn into a full meal with a few simple sides and appetizers. Below are some great options:
- Serve them with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for an easy low carb lunch or dinner.
