A Family Favorite – Air Fried Pineapple Pizza
Tired of the same old pizza night with your family?
Pizza night is a staple for many families. But sometimes, ordering the same old pepperoni and cheese gets boring.
Using homemade pizza dough, topped with pineapple and more, and cooked in an air fryer, your family will want more Hawaiian Pizza nights in the future.
Pineapple pizza is a highly debated topic. There are those that love pineapple on pizza. And then there is the group that says pineapple has no business on pizza.
Having owned a pizzeria in the past, we got a lot of requests for Hawaiian pizza even though it wasn’t on the menu.
So we made it.

How to Make a Hawaiian Pizza in the Air Fryer
First and foremost, let’s discuss the dough.
While store-bought dough is an option, making your own is the way to go.
It’s simpler than you’d think.
Just mix flour, yeast, water, sugar, and salt in a bowl until the dough forms.
Let it rise for a bit, and ta-da! You have a fresh homemade dough with no added preservatives or ingredients you can’t pronounce.
Plus, there’s something satisfying about making your own dough from scratch. Trust us on this one.
Pizza assembly
Onto toppings: Hawaiian pizza typically consists of pineapple, ham, and mozzarella cheese.
But there’s no need to stop there.
Get creative and add some jalapenos for a spicy kick, or bacon for a little extra flavor.
Don’t be afraid to customize it to your liking.
That’s the beauty of homemade pizza…you’re in control of what goes on top.
Why an Air Fryer
Air fryers have become a popular kitchen gadget and for good reason.
They produce delicious crispy food with little to no oil needed.
And guess what? Air fryers are great for cooking pizza too.
Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding your pizza.
Since the air fryer cooks quickly and evenly, you’ll have a perfectly cooked pizza in no time.
No more waiting half an hour for the oven to heat up and another 20 minutes for the pizza to cook.
With an air fryer, you can have your Hawaiian Pizza ready in less than 10 minutes.
Air Fry Pizza Dough
Once your dough has doubled in size, remove your dough ball to a lightly floured surface. Divide your ball into 4 sections.
Roll your dough using a rolling pin until it is 8 inches in diameter.
Dust the pan with the cornmeal and transfer your pizza dough to your pan. Press to flatten down on the bottom of the pan.
With your air fryer preheated to 380°F, cook your dough for 4 minutes.
Now that you have your dough, toppings, and air fryer ready to go, it’s time to put it all together.
Putting the Hawaiian Pizza All Together
Remove, and then top your dough with 1/4 cup of Pizza sauce, 1/4 cup of cheese spread evenly, 1/4 cup of pineapple, and 1/4 cup of ham. Then add 1/4 more cup of cheese on top.
Cook for another 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the other 3.
Serve and enjoy!
