    Can You Reheat Pizza In An Air Fryer

    Yes, you can and this post will show you that reheating pizza in the air fryer is straightforward, and the best way of reheating pizza. Once you know how to reheat leftover pizza in an air fryer and try it, you will not do it any other way. 

    Frozen pizza or chilled leftover pizza comes out as if freshly cooked and in just 5 minutes or less, you have food to snack on or serve with sides for lunch or dinner.

    Pizza remains one of the most popular foods. It's delicious and popular with kids and adults alike making it a takeaway favorite.

    Be it takeout or homemade pizza leftovers, they can be reheated in the air fryer in easy steps.

    Unlike reheating pizza in the microwave which leaves the crust soggy, doing it in the air fryer gives crispy crust and melted cheese be it deep pan pizza, or thin crust.

    Reheating pizza in the oven is good, but it takes longer than doing it in the air fryer plus it just comes out better when done in the air fryer. Also no need for preheating air fryer, unlike the oven. Air frying leftover pizza gives better results than doing it in the oven.

    There is hardly any clean-up to do after reheating as it barely leaves any mess in the basket. You can also use perforated air fryer parchment paper or liner to line the basket.

    Let me just tell you again, the air fryer is the best kitchen gadget for reheating frozen pizza because not only is it quick, it crisps food up and revitalizes them. The air fryer circulates hot air around the food and this is what crisps and cooks the food evenly. No soggy, rubbery pizza!

    If using a basket-style air fryer, it will fit in 2-3 slices at a time depending on how big it is. I used the Cosori 5.5l air fryer for this post. The oven style can usually accommodate more on the air fryer rack/tray.

    Doing it in the air fryer is faster than oven, or stovetop, and no need to preheat the air fryer.

    You can reheat any type of pizza in the air fryer be it personal pizza, mini pizza, deep-pan, thin crust, chicken, pepperoni, beef, naan bread pizza, pita pizza, or any type at all.

    Put the pizza slices in the air fryer basket, rack, or tray. Don't stack, or crowd the basket.

    For other types, start with 3 minutes, after this time, check to access if it needs more time. If it's heated but not crispy enough as you'd like, add a few more minutes.

    If you see the pizza has started to burn before it has warmed through, then reduce the temperature of the air fryer.

    Leftover pizza can be eaten with sides like

    Coleslaw

    Once the pizza has been reheated, don't refreeze, or store it in the fridge.

    Tips On Reheating Pizza In Air Fryer

    • Don't stack or overcrowd the basket. Lie the pizza flat in the basket with space between the slices.
    • If reheating thick slices that take a longer time to reheat, remove the chicken, peppers, or similar toppings and add them a few minutes before the end of cooking this is so they don't dry out.
    • You can add additional toppings like cooked chicken, onions, and peppers.
    • When trying a recipe for the first time, start with the lower cooking time, check on the food, and then decide if to add additional time or not.
    • Once heated, remove them from the air fryer and don't let them sit in the air fryer after they are warmed as the retained heat in the air fryer will keep warming them and they may dry out.
