Cooking time

  • Oven: 20–30 minutes (preheating + baking).
  • Air fryer: 10–15 minutes, no long preheat.

Calories

  • Oven: you often need oil to grease the pan.
  • Air fryer: no oil, so the pizza is lighter and healthier.

Texture

  • Oven: a soft crust that sometimes ends up too dry.
  • Air fryer: a crispy base, stretchy cheese and juicy toppings.

Convenience

  • Oven: you need a pan and parchment, and there's more washing up.
  • Air fryer: just the basket or rack — minimal effort.

The verdict

  • In the air fryer, pizza cooks faster, turns out healthier and gets a crispy crust.
