Air Fryer Pizza Bombs {Easy To Make}
Introduction
Air Fryer Pizza Bombs combine all the comforting flavors of classic pizza in a delightfully crispy, bite-sized package that’s impossible to resist. With a molten cheese center and perfectly seasoned fillings wrapped in golden dough, these treats serve as the perfect snack, party appetizer, or kid-friendly dinner idea.
The best part? You’ll have piping hot pizza bombs ready in under 25 minutes, with no need to heat up your oven or fuss with complicated equipment.
Why Air Fryer Pizza Bombs Stand Out
The air fryer delivers an irresistibly crunchy exterior while keeping the inside soft and gooey—pizza perfection in every bite. Unlike traditional oven-baked versions, air frying cuts down time and mess, ensuring you get consistent results without excess oil. Customize your filling combinations for a crowd-pleasing favorite that vanishes fast at any gathering.
Choosing and Prepping Your Ingredients
Start with refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough for fuss-free assembly. Fillings are highly customizable: choose classic pepperoni, cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, or even diced ham. For an extra burst of flavor, toss in some Italian herbs, garlic, and lots of shredded mozzarella or provolone.
A vegetable chopper such as the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes prepping fillings quick and uniform, especially if you’re adding onions or bell peppers.
Effortless Air Frying for the Perfect Texture
With an air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey, cooking these pizza bombs is both fast and energy-efficient. Simply preheat, arrange your assembled bombs in the basket, and let the hot air work its magic.
For easier cleanup and to prevent sticking, use Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature tailored to fit your basket.
Serving and Storing Your Pizza Bombs
Serve air fryer pizza bombs hot, paired with a small bowl of marinara or ranch for dipping. They’re ideal for meal prep, too—just store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers and reheat for a quick lunch or snack.
For a party, display them on a platter lined with a disposable Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth for fast post-event cleanup.
Nutrition and Serving Size Information
Each batch yields about 8–10 pizza bombs, perfect for sharing. Depending on your dough and filling choices, each pizza bomb clocks in at around 110–160 calories. Enjoy as a playful side, appetizer, or party plate!
Air Fryer Pizza Bombs Recap

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 350°F. Cut a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or use Air Fryer Paper Liners for easy cleanup.
- Flatten each biscuit or dough round on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella, and your choice of filling in the center. Top with a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, rolling gently to form a smooth ball. For best results, trim and prepare fillings quickly with a Mueller Pro-Series Vegetable Chopper.
- Arrange the pizza bombs seam side down on the parchment, leaving space for air circulation. Brush with beaten egg or a little olive oil for a golden finish.
- Air fry for 7–9 minutes or until puffed and deeply golden. Check doneness with a peek—it’s okay to add a minute if needed.
- Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping. Store any leftovers in a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container in the fridge.
