Some folks say it CAN be done.
But we haven't a CLUE!
It's a pretty deep cooking pot, and we don't want to grab an edge with the tongs, lift it out, and have the toppings slide off.
And we don't want to tip the whole thing sideways and dump it out, lest the removeable metal thing in the bottom slide up and scratch the inside finish.
So I told Mary I'd ask 130,000 of my closest friends.
Sorry Mike, just DON’T DO IT!!!
Slammer!!!
Yeah, well, OK.
Same day I posted this, we did pizza in the oven.
First time the oven's been ON since we got the air fryer.
Having leftover pizza for breakfast.
Unless your air fryer has a flat shelf where you can place the pizza and take it out when it's done with a peel, I wouldn't try it. The round type fryers just don't/won't work for a pizza.
My fryer has a shelf like my oven does and the pizza will fit in there easily and air fry. I still prefer to use my oven for pizza.
I actually used my oven about a month ago to bake some "goodies" for a birthday party. Other than that, I much prefer the fryer.

My aunt used to say, "Oh no, I don't turn on the oven. It might set the dust bunnies on fire!"
That's blasphemy, Mike. Geez!
Like cooking eggs in the microwave. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Never *cook* pizza in air fryer but it's the best ever for reheating pizza and getting the crust crispy again. And we always get enough pizza for leftovers.
It's your air fryer. You can do whatever you want with it.
That not the way Earl made his pizza.

Bill .... I have a better way (IMHO) for reheating pizza ..... actually like it better than when it's fresh. Take a pretty large flat pan (frying pan) that you can cover. Spray a little Pam in the bottom and lay the pizza pieces flat and cut on the stove cook top. I normally start two or three clicks below "medium" and put the top on ..... in my case a glass top. Keep monitoring the progress and I usually wind up turning up the heat to just below medium. You want it to get hot enough to melt the chess on top , but not burn the bottom. The botton will get very crispy and the cheese and toppings hot.
I have cooked frozen pizza in my air fryer, but mine is configured like a toaster oven and has a rack like a regular oven.
I once cooked (not all at once) 144 hotdogs in an air fryer. It was a work thing for the soldiers I support. The weiners were a hit. A lot easier than cooking hamburgers.
ours has a square basket,, pizza does fine in it.. i use 2 forks to slide down inside the slots on the edge to lift out the tray and then you got access to your pizza.
... what's an air fryer? 
Circulating hot air that cooks your pizza. A convection oven.
Thanks Jeff .... now, more importantly, as a proponent of KISS cooking, do I need one?

On one of the first remote reserves we worked on, I was volunteering as an E.A. in my wife's K. classroom.
At some juncture one of the [relatively sharp] boys asked me: "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Me [without mucho thinking]: "I'm swimming the English Channel in my tuxedo pulling the Prime Minister on a surfboard."
Student [with a decidedly quizzical look on his face]: "... What's a surfboard?"

She got some dehydrator racks. We're guessing that pizza pieces, sitting on them, will cook up just fine.
I'll let you know if it doesn't work, but it may be a month or so, before we feel like pizza again.
All together now!
PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA!
All we are saaaayyyy-ing........., is GIVE PIZZA CHANTS!
this is the one we have,,, 59.00 at wally world
I should have mentioned when we cook pizza in our air fryer, we cook on "Bake" and do not use the "Air Fry" mode, so it takes the same time as a conventional oven ........ but doesn't take 10 minutes to heat up to temperature.
... is ^^ the same 10 minutes it takes to make the salad and set the table? 
Connect a well made 5 string neck to the pizza and just enjoy it. Not for resale!

That is exactly what I do ...... actually make a small tossed salad for just about every dinner ....Romaine lettuce, carrots, grapes, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, toasted almond slivers, and thousand island dressing.
