The least-covered food on the starting list (only 3 out of 12 brands) — see research/manual-analysis.md §1. No appliance crossing yet in this initial corpus (Tower/Russell Hobbs 27680/Daewoo don't cover this food) — to be added as more appliances are added.
Prep
- Straight from frozen, do not thaw
- Remove all plastic packaging
- Place the pizza directly in the basket or on the rack, depending on size.
- Cook at the temperature and time given.
- Check that the cheese is melted and the crust golden — no internal-temperature target for a composite dish.
Done when: Cheese melted, crust golden (no safety threshold — a composite dish, not a raw protein)

30 of the 38 air fryers on file publish nothing for frozen pizza
If yours isn't in the table above, the honest answer is that we have no figure for it — the generic reference at the top of this page is the best we can do, and it's a reference, not a measurement. Your own timing, on your own model, is what closes that row.
Takes about a minute — this food arrives already selected, and only the temperature and the time are required. Nothing publishes straight away: every submission is moderated first.
What the 8 charts disagree about
The spread, stated plainly. The 8 charts above come from 4 brands. Between them they span 5 to 20 minutes, and 330 °F to ~392 °F on the dial. Ranked by the middle of each published range, the shortest chart is Tefal EY2454G0 at 7 min and ~374 °F; the longest is Tower T17088 at 20 min and ~356 °F — 2.9× as long. Both are quoted from the manufacturer's own chart. Neither is corrected here, and no average of the two is published: a mean of those numbers would be wrong for every machine in the table at once.
The variable most charts leave out. 4 of the 8 charts state a portion weight, covering 400 g to 500 g; the other 4 state none at all. The 15-minute gap between the shortest and the longest chart above means much less than it looks when part of the table does not say what portion it was written for. Where a manual gives no weight, the column above is empty — nothing is filled in.
By appliance format. Split by basket layout, the same charts read: single basket 5–15 min over 5 charts, dual basket 10–20 min over 2 charts, and oven-style 8 min over 1 chart. Whether that difference is the format or the manufacturer's chart-writing habits is exactly what the format pages take apart, brand by brand, instead of asserting.
Where this page's own reference sits. The ~374 °F / 7 min at the top is a generic starting point, not a measurement — it sits inside the 330 °F–~392 °Fthe manuals publish, and inside their 5–20 min. Use it when your model isn't in the table. When it is, the manufacturer's own row is the better number, and the cook time calculator gives it to you directly.
