I finally tried to air fry a whole frozen pizza and it went so wrong

I saw a video saying you could cook a frozen pizza in the air fryer in 8 minutes. I bought a big 12-inch pepperoni one for $8. It did not fit. I had to fold it in half like a weird calzone, and all the cheese and sauce just melted out onto the basket. Took me 30 minutes to scrub the burnt mess off. Has anyone managed to make this work without creating a disaster zone?

Ever wonder why my air fryer basket looks like a modern art piece made of burnt cheese and regret? I tried the same thing with a frozen french bread pizza. It fit, but the top got so crispy it shattered like glass when I bit into it, while the bottom was still frozen. I spent ten minutes picking pepperoni shrapnel out of the air fryer coil. My kitchen smelled like defeat and marinara for a week.

That coil is actually a heating element, not a fan.
