Why the air fryer is perfect for reheating pizza

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.
