    Once you reheat your pizza in the air fryer, you will be hard-pressed to do it any other way. We used to reheat pizza slices in the microwave, but they would get soggy and soft and never taste as good as the first time.

    When we started using the air fryer, we realized it was the perfect kitchen tool to reheat pizza. It keeps the crust nice and crunchy while heating the toppings and cheese to perfection. Plus, it only takes 3-4 minutes to reheat two slices.

    The first time I used air frying instead of microwaving the pizza, my husband was shocked by how great it tasted. He kept telling me it tasted better than when it was delivered. The extra-crispy crust is just that good.

    If you are reheating a lot of pizza leftovers in the air fryer you will want to work in batches to the pieces are not overlapping.

    Ingredients

    Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients needed to Reheat Pizza in an Air Fryer! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

    • Leftover Pizza: We used two slices for this guide.
    • Olive Oil Spray: You can spritz the bottom of the air fryer with a bit of olive oil spray if you want to keep your pizza from sticking. We do not use non-stick cooking spray since it can damage the air fryer basket/tray.ย 

    Equipment Needed

    • Air Fryer: We suggest getting an air fryer that is bigger than you think you will need. We found that once we started using the air fryer, we used it for more and larger meals.
    • Kitchen Tongs: We highly suggest getting a good pair of kitchen tongs to remove items from the air fryer and save your hands from getting burned.ย 
    • Parchment Paper: Optional but works great to keep the melted cheese on the pizza not the air fryer oven tray.

    Preparation and Storage

    Make Ahead: Use this how-to guide for leftover pizza, not frozen pizza.

    Storage: According to the USDA, leftover pizza that you have kept refrigerated and not kept at room temperature for more than two hours is safe to consume within three to four days.

    Freezing/How to Freeze: According to The Kitchn, leftover pizza freezes well! For the best results, wrap individual slices in plastic and store them in Ziploc bags, then enjoy them within two months.

    How to Reheat: You can use your air fryer to reheat frozen leftover pizza slices from frozenโ€”no thawing is required or recommended.

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions: This air fryer how-to guide should work with any type or style of leftover pizza, with cooking times varying slightly based on the pizza crust and toppings.

    Vegetarian + Vegan Option: Any leftover pizza, including vegetarian and vegan pizza, reheats well in the air fryer.

    Gluten-Free: Your air fryer can reheat pizza with a gluten-free crust! The cooking time should be about the same.

    Smaller Serving Size + Larger Group/More Servings: We wrote this air fryer how-to guide for reheating two slices of leftover pizza. Adjust the cooking time up or down based on the thickness of your pizza crust and how many portions you need to reheat.

    Make It Spicy: We have heard of people who add hot sauce to their leftover pizza for an added kick. It is up to you whether you add it before or after reheating, though if you add it before, it will have a chance to meld with the existing toppings on your pizza. We also suggest pairing your hot sauce with your pizza toppings for the best taste experience.

    Sugar-Free: Fresh pizza toppings vary greatly, so the nutritional content of your pizza will also vary depending on what you choose to reheat.

    Tips for the Best Reheated Air Fryer Pizza

    • Cooking time will vary depending on the type of pizza and how thick your pizza crust is. A thin crust pizza will reheat much faster than a thick crust pizza or a deep dish pizza.
    • We use a type of air fryer with a basket. If you are using a toaster oven style rack the times will vary.
    • Do not crowd the air fryer basket so the hot air can circulate the pieces.
    • This recipe is for leftover pizza, not frozen pizza. Frozen pizza is going to take longer to cook.ย 
    • Check to see if your air fryer needs preheating
