Reheating pizza in the air fryer is a total leftover game-changer that’s so quick and easy, you’ll never want to reheat pizza any other way again!

Why You’ll Love This Cooking Method

  • It’s so much faster than reheating pizza in the oven. Air fryers take less time to preheat than ovens, so you’ll go from cold to cooking sooner, and have your hot pizza even faster!
  • There’s less clean up than using the oven! You don’t have to worry about a baking sheet or tin foil or anything like that.
  • Microwaving pizza is an option, sure, but the crust either gets soggy or tough and rubbery. That doesn’t happen in the air fryer! The air fryer keeps the crust crispy, so it’s just as good as it was on day one.
  • It works with any kind of pizza. Thick crust, thin crust, store bought, homemade – the possibilities are endless!

How to Make It

Pizza is one of those magical foods that’s great when it’s fresh and even better as a leftover. Don’t ask me how; we just have to accept that it’s one of those things we’ll never understand.

For the BEST reheated pizza ever, you’ll want to use an air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 325° if you’ve got thin crust pizza, and 350° for thick crust pizza. If you’re heating up multiple slices, lay them flat in the basket in one single layer. Pop the basket in the air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove and enjoy!

Chef’s Tips

  • If you’re reheating multiple slices of pizza, try to reheat similar size slices together. You don’t want to reheat a small thin slice with a huge thick slice, because the smaller one will be dry and possibly burnt by the time the bigger one is ready.
  • Don’t overlap your pizza slices in the basket. The air won’t be able to circulate properly, and your pizza won’t reheat evenly.
  • Spread a little garlic butter or cooking oil on the crust before you put your pizza in the air fryer. That’ll make it crispier and give it a little extra flavor!
  • If the pizza starts to brown or burn before it’s warmed through, lower the temperature of your air fryer by 25°.

    Very soft and soggy. I heated one slice for the time and temp recommend. Disappointed!

    I had doubted it would be any better than the way pizza reheats in a regular oven but gave it a try because of how quickly air fryers heat up. WOW, it certainly exceeded my expectations! The texture of the entire crust (not just the edge), the warm gooey cheese all over- it all turned out great. I simply preheated at 350⁰F for 5 minutes and then cooked 2 slices for 4 minutes. It came out to perfection! This is definitely a game changer for reheating pizza that tastes just as delicious as the first day, if not better.
