Which crescent rolls are best?
I recommend Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. They tend to hold together better than many store-brand versions, which can separate or become flimsy when folded and cooked.
Ingredients
This recipe uses a few basic ingredients and is easy to customize with your favorite pizza toppings. For example, cooked ground sausage or mushrooms can be added if you like.
- Crescent rolls (1 can, 8-count)
- Pepperoni slices (about 10)
- Shredded mozzarella (about 1/2 cup)
- Pizza sauce (about 1/2 cup)
- Grated Parmesan (optional)
- Dried parsley for garnish (optional)
Feel free to add or swap toppings to suit your taste.
Tips for success
Use air-fryer-safe parchment paper or a sheet of foil to transfer the ring into the air fryer. If you use foil, leave space around the edges so air can circulate. Air-fryer parchment (with holes) is ideal because it helps the bottoms crisp better than foil.
All air fryers heat differently. A good guideline is 360°F for 6–8 minutes. For a preheated air fryer, start checking around 6 minutes; the top should be golden brown. If the bottoms are still doughy, slice the ring and return the pieces to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes until done.
Storage and reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute or in the air fryer at 330°F for 3–4 minutes to restore crispness.
Enjoy this simple Air Fryer Pizza Ring and experiment with different toppings to make it your own.

Air Fryer Pizza Ring
Ingredients
- 1 Can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8-Count)
- 1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce
- 10 Pepperoni Slices
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Optional Toppings:
- Parsley
- Grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Place crescent roll triangles in a circle on a sheet of parchment or foil sized to fit your air fryer basket. Overlap them so the wide ends form a ring and the narrow ends point outward.
- Spoon pizza sauce onto the wider part of each crescent, forming a sauce ring. Top with pepperoni or other desired toppings.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the toppings.
- Fold the narrow ends over the wider ends, tucking them toward the center to seal the ring.
- Transfer the prepared parchment or foil with the ring into the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 360°F for 6–8 minutes, watching closely. The top should be golden brown and the bottoms cooked through.
- Carefully remove and serve, garnished with parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
- Note: If the bottoms are doughy after cooking, cut the ring into slices and return to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes. Cooking times vary by air fryer.
Notes
Parchment made for air fryers (with holes) works best to crisp the bottoms, but foil is acceptable if you allow air circulation.
All air fryers heat differently. If pieces are still doughy after the recommended time, cut and cook an extra 1–2 minutes.
