Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Parchment paper
    There’s no need to use paper, but if you do use perforated parchment paper, this will allow the heat to circulate.
  • Don’t overcrowd
    Give each slice space, or you’ll end up with soggy pizzas melted into each other.
  • Use tongs
    Use tongs to remove your pizza slice from the air fryer basket, or you may burn your hands.
  • Pizza crust and toppings
    Cooking time may vary with a thick crust or thin crust, and toppings may take longer or less time to reheat, so adjust accordingly.

Why the air fryer is perfect for reheating pizza

What to serve with leftover pizza slices

Is pizza better reheated in an oven or air fryer?

Both the oven and air fryer are great to reheat pizza in.

Air fryers will reheat pizza quickly, and the hot air will circulate it perfectly, making it a quick and easy choice.

Ovens will do a great job, too, especially if you use a pizza stone or a pizza pan.

If you use a baking sheet in the oven, then you run the risk of having a soggy pizza crust instead of crispy pizza slices.

    I used to use the toaster oven to reheat pizza, but the air fryer is faster and makes it crisper. This will be my go to method from now on.

    We did this tonight with leftover pizza, and it was just the right size! Perfect texture and cheese melt, and much more economical than turning on the oven (and better than microwave)
