I’m telling you when I stumbled across this trick for reheating pizza it literally changed my life. I think it’s the best way to reheat pizza.
I am a pizza fanatic. I would eat pizza several days a week if my heart would let me! Ha. But warming up pizza in the air fryer is now one of my favorite ways to do so.
No longer do you have to use the microwave, which can make leftover pizza hard, chewy, and sometimes not evenly heated all the way through.

Enter the air fryer. It’s preheated in just a few minutes and then 3 minutes later it’s perfectly reheated.

HOW TO REHEAT PIZZA IN AIR FRYER
Not all pizzas are created equal, so we are going to share with you a table for reheating pizza. You can print out the infographic of this simple table and also grab the notes in the printable recipe card below.
WHAT TIME AND TEMPERATURE SHOULD I USE WHEN REHEATING PIZZA?
If you eat pizza as much as we do, make sure you print out the little infographic above and keep it handy for future use. Here is our detailed version of the best way to reheat pizza.
- THICK CRUST: Heat thick crust pizza in the Air Fryer at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 minutes. I personally check my pizza after 4 minutes and then keep an eye on it after every minute or so to ensure the cheese isn’t browning too much and the heat is evenly cooking the pizza.
- MEDIUM CRUST: Heat medium crust pizza in the Air Fryer at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes. I will check this pizza slices after 3 minutes to ensure the pizza is cooking evenly and the cheese is not browning too much.
- THIN CRUST: Heat thin crust pizza in the Air Fryer at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-4 minutes, checking after to 2 minutes to ensure the pizza is cooking evenly and the cheese is not browning too quickly.
Continue to add heating increments of 1-2 minutes and check occasionally to ensure that each piece is cooking evenly.
Don’t worry about opening the air fryer to check on the pizza. A quick check of your food won’t make any difference to this little kitchen counter convection oven.
HOW MANY SLICES OF PIZZA CAN I REHEAT IN THE AIR FRYER?
Depending on the size of the slices you are reheating, you can typically reheat 2-3 pieces of pizza in the air fryer at the same time.
If I have a lot of toppings on my pizza I will try and keep the slices to a minimum. This helps to ensure I am reheating the pizza thoroughly and evenly without causing the cheese or toppings to get brown or too crispy.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN REHEATING FROZEN PIZZA VERSUS HOMEMADE OR DELIVERY?
Generally speaking, I will heat the pizza using the same time and temperature table as I shared in the infographic above.
The only difference I will take into account when reheating pizza is how thick the crust is and how many toppings each slice of pizza has.
With any pizza, make sure that it’s not too old and that it is still good before reheating and consuming. I generally will only save leftover pizza in the refrigerator for 24 hours before discarding any leftovers.
The air fryer is certainly the best way to reheat pizza in my opinion. If you haven’t tried this reheating technique yet, you’re certainly in for a treat and won’t want leftover pizza any other way.
