What’s the best crust for easy mini pizza?

For a fast and crispy base, flour tortillas are ideal. They brown quickly and stay light. If you prefer a softer bite, English muffins or mini bagels offer a more bready texture that works especially well for kids.

Can I make easy mini pizza in an air fryer?

Yes, and it works beautifully. Air frying gives you a golden, extra-crispy crust in just 4 to 5 minutes. It's perfect when you want a quick snack or don't want to heat the oven. See the air fryer method above for full instructions.

How do I keep easy mini pizzas from getting soggy?

To keep the crust crisp, spread sauce lightly and avoid too many toppings. Pre-cooking vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers also helps, since they can release water as they bake. Always preheat your oven or air fryer before baking.

Can I prepare easy mini pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can fully assemble the pizzas a few hours in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them before baking for a longer-term option. Just follow the freezing instructions above and bake straight from frozen when needed.
