Hi. I’m Shea, and I’m an air fryer junkie. Oh, that’s not why we’re here today? Oops! I think I’ll keep it for another time.

No, we’re here today to discuss how to reheat pizza in an air fryer. Also regarded as the single finest method to reheat pizza on the globe. Pizza comes out wonderfully crisp, ooey-gooey, and ready to rock in only a few minutes in the air fryer at 350F. It’s the greatest there is.

This article is for those of you air fryer enthusiasts (and those who are still on the fence). I’m going to show you the best technique to reheat pizza in an air fryer and why.

I don’t want to waste any more time. Let’s get our hands on some air-fried pizza!

How to Reheat Pizza in Air Fryer

Everyone, reheating pizza in the air fryer is very easy. No, I’m serious. It’s the simplest thing in the world, and it produces the greatest results. You’ll never use the microwave again (it’s mushy) or the oven (it takes too long). This is how you do it.

Line the Air Fryer

Begin by lining the inside of the air fryer. Yes, it is required. I have the NuWave Brio 6-Quart Air Fryer, and let’s just say that if you don’t line the basket, you’ll end up with cheese where cheese shouldn’t be. Line it with foil and poke a few holes on the bottom to enable it to crisp up.

Optional: Preheat the Air Fryer

Me? My air fryer is never preheated. I simply chuck everything in and turn it on. However, some individuals insist on preheating their air fryer. Are you among them? Then go ahead, pizza enthusiast. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place Slices of Pizza in a Single Layer

If you have a basket-style air fryer like mine, you should only cook one to two pieces at a time. You may accommodate more items if you have a toaster oven type. To get the greatest results, ensure that the pieces are in a single layer.

Heat It Up!

Assume your air fryer is already warmed; fantastic! If not, that’s fantastic! Personally, I don’t believe it matters. It’s not like a typical oven, which must be warmed (for what feels like hours and hours, am I right?)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Thin pizza should be done in three minutes or less. Regular pizza should be ready in around six minutes. The thick, deep-dish style may need a few more minutes.

Keep in mind that since thick crust pizza requires more time, the toppings may get *too* crispy for your satisfaction. If you’re concerned about too crisp toppings, just remove them before warming and replace them halfway through the process. Win!

Check your slices every three minutes for the best results. That way, you are well aware of how crispy your pizza is getting. Everyone prefers a different amount of crispiness. I want ultra-crispy pizza, so I may leave mine in for a little longer than the usual pizza fan.

Enjoy Reheated Pizza Like No Other

When your pizza has achieved the desired degree of doneness, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes (if possible). You may always pull a Shea (me) and eat the pizza while it’s still cooling, fully burning your tongue and, as a result, your stomach. Is it worthwhile?

Why the Air Fryer?

If you’re on the fence about purchasing an air fryer but haven’t yet, I’ll tell you right now: do it. Even if you simply purchase it to reheat your pizza, I strongly advise you to splurge. With the holidays approaching, why not inform a friend or family member that you need one? Wink, wink, wink!

But, on a more serious note, here are three major reasons why an air fryer is required to reheat your pizza:

• Pizza becomes mushy in the microwave. Ew. I despise microwaved pizza, particularly after it has been reheated in my air fryer. It’s revolting! A mushy microwaved pizza lacks crispness and freshness. No, thank you.
• The oven takes an inordinate amount of time. Waiting for the oven to heat up is akin to torture. I try to avoid using my oven as much as possible (unless I’m baking, of course). Spending upwards of a half-hour on reheating a single piece of pizza is just absurd.
• It tastes fantastic. When you utilize the air fryer, reheated pizza takes on new life. It truly does taste like it’s brand new again, which is fantastic. The taste and texture are undeniably delicious. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never reheat anything else again!

FAQs

You now know how to effectively reheat your reheated pizza in the air fryer. But don’t worry if you still have some questions concerning the subject. I discovered and addressed some commonly asked questions.

What is the best way to heat up leftover pizza?

Air fryer, hands down. There is absolutely no other option. If you haven’t already purchased one, do so immediately. Not only is it reheated pizza’s best buddy, but there are tons of other great air fryer dishes to try.

How do you reheat in an air fryer?

You can reheat more than just pizza in an air fryer. Whatever you’re reheating will take three to five minutes, depending on what you put in the air fryer. The temperature should be between 350F and 400F.

How do you reheat pizza without it getting soggy?

To be honest, the air fryer. If you don’t have one (yet), you can always microwave a glass of water with your pizza while it’s reheating. Broiling the pizza in the oven may also result in crispy pizza.

Can you put frozen pizza in an AirFryer?

You certainly can! You will follow the same steps as described earlier. Of course, you’ll want to add some additional cooking time. I’d check in every 10 minutes for the first ten minutes, then every three minutes after that. (Air fryer frozen pizza is a huge success!)

Can I put foil in an air fryer?

You certainly can. If you like, you may use parchment paper as your lining instead.

Final Words

Reheating pizza in an air fryer is a win-win situation. It’s fast and simple, and the results are gloriously crispy and tasty, making old pizza seem fresh again!
