1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, simply let it run at the cooking temperature for a few minutes.
2. Prepare the Pita Pizzas
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each pita bread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add your choice of toppings, such as pepperoni slices or vegetables.
3. Season the Pita Pizzas
Sprinkle the pizzas with dried oregano and garlic powder if using. This adds extra flavor to the pizzas.
4. Air Fry the Pita Pizzas
Place the pita pizzas in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are crispy.
5. Serve
Remove the pizzas from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired before slicing and serving.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Pita Pizza:
- Layering: Be careful not to overload the pita with too many toppings, as this can prevent the pizza from cooking evenly.
- Check Doneness: Keep an eye on the pizzas as they cook to avoid burning, especially if your air fryer has strong heating elements.
- Customize: Feel free to get creative with your toppings—try adding cooked chicken, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
