I love keeping frozen pizzas on hand for quick meals when I need lunch in a hurry or a busy weeknight dinner. Single serving personal pizzas are great, especially when Iβm cooking for just me! In this Red Baron deep dish pizza air fryer guide, Iβll teach you how to heat one up in no time!

Why You Need This Recipe
Red Baron deep dish singles pizzas are frozen personal pizzas available in a variety of flavors, such as pepperoni, four cheese, and supreme.
Typically, youβd cook these mini pizzas in the oven. However, that takes about 23 minutes of cooking time, and thatβs not even counting preheating the oven!
The air fryer is truly your friend here. Youβll get the same melted cheese, browning, crispy crust and all the goodness you love in a pizza, but in only about 10 minutes of cooking time.

Plus, the air fryer preheats much faster than the oven as well, so youβre really looking at under half the time! Now thatβs convenient for a meal when youβre in a rush.
What Youβll Need: Ingredients

- Red Baron deep dish singles pizza, any flavor
- Additional toppings if desired
Ingredient Tips and Notes
- This recipe works with any flavor of Red Baron single deep dish pizzas, and would also work with other similarly-sized frozen deep dish pizzas
- Most grocery stores have deep dish singles available in the freezer section in a box of 2. However, you may be able to find larger quantities at wholesale clubs (like Samβs Club and BJβs Wholesale)
- You can cook as many small pizzas as fit in your air fryer in a single layer at once without changing cooking times (nice if youβre feeding a crowd)!
- While these pizzas come with toppings already on them (I have pepperoni here) you can feel free to add additional toppings if desired before cooking

Recipe FAQs
Can You Cook Red Baron Deep Dish Pizza in an Air Fryer?
Yes, you can cook Red Baron deep dish pizza in an air fryer. The air fryer delivers a similar result to conventional oven cooking in about half the time.
However, most countertop air fryers only fit the personal size frozen pizza and will not accommodate a larger, family-sized option.
How Long Do I Put Red Baron Deep Dish Pizza in an Air Fryer?
On average, you put a Red Baron deep dish pizza in an air fryer for 8-12 minutes. The time will vary a bit based on your specific air fryer.
This is assuming a single serving sized pizza, as the full sized version does not fit in most countertop air fryers.
Do I Need to Defrost a Frozen Deep Dish Pizza Before Cooking?
No, there is no need to defrost a frozen deep dish pizza before cooking. Remove from packaging and cook directly from the frozen state.
This applies regardless of your cooking method, be it oven, air fryer, or microwave.
How Do You Reheat Deep Dish Pizza in the Air Fryer?
To reheat leftover deep dish pizza in the air fryer, cook a slice at 350Β°F for 4-6 minutes, until warmed through. The slices are thicker than traditional pizza slices so theyβll take a little longer.
If yours are very cheesy, place the slice on a piece of foil or parchment cut to size for easier cleanup.
This method works with both leftover frozen as well as restaurant pizza thatβs being reheated.
Recipe Pro Tips

- My frozen deep dish pizzas were cooked perfectly after 9 minutes, verified via instant read thermometer. However, other air fryers may vary slightly

Storage and Reheating
- Leftover Red Baron deep dish pizza (if there is any since this is a personal size pizza) should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 4 days. Do not refreeze after cooking once
- To reheat, place a slice of deep dish pizza in the air fryer at 350Β°F for 3-6 minutes, or until warmed through
