Ingredients You’ll Need for Pizza Loaded Fries
For the Fries:
- ½ bag Crinkle French fries
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
For the Pizza Topping:
- 6 slices pepperoni
- ¼ cup sausage
- 1 slice bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup pizza sauce (or tomato sauce)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
You can also customize with favorite pizza toppings like black olives, green peppers, mushrooms, or extra cheese.
How to Make Pizza Loaded Fries
Step 1: Cook the Fries
Start by placing your crinkle French fries in the air fryer. Cook them according to the package instructions until crispy and golden brown. The air fryer ensures you get crunchy fries without needing extra oil.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a preheated oven until crispy.
While the fries cook, prepare the pizza topping.
Step 2: Make the Pizza Mixture
In a small skillet over medium heat, pour in the pizza sauce. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese directly on top of the sauce.

Next, add your meats: pepperoni slices, sausage, and crumbled bacon.

Add another light layer of cheese on top of the fries mixture and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Heat everything over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. This skillet method creates rich, gooey, evenly melted cheese that coats all your toppings perfectly.
Step 3: Season the Fries
Once the fries are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

Toss thoroughly so every fry is coated in that flavorful butter mixture. This step elevates your loaded pizza fries from basic to bold.

Step 4: Assemble Your Delicious Pizza Fries
Place the seasoned fries into a serving dish or platter. Pour the hot pizza mixture over the top of the fries, making sure to distribute the cheese and toppings evenly.

For an extra flavor boost, drizzle with hot honey before serving. The sweet heat pairs perfectly with the savory toppings.
Customization Ideas
Think of these as pizza-style pizza bases, but instead of dough, you’re using crispy fries. You can easily swap in:
- Black olives
- Jalapeños
- Extra mozzarella cheese
- Different meats
- Veggie-loaded versions
The possibilities are endless when building your perfect batch of loaded pizza fries.
