How to Reheat Pizza in Air Fryer
Reheat leftover pizza in the air fryer in just a few minutes. The base is crispy again, and the times work for thin, thick and frozen slices.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 slices leftover pizza thin, regular, thick or deep dish
- 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella 14 g - ½ oz (optional)
- grated parmesan optional, to finish
- garlic powder optional, to finish
- crushed red pepper flakes optional, to finish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350° F (175° C) for about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle any extra mozzarella over the slices. Place them in the basket in a single layer, with a little space between them.
- Air fry a regular slice for 3 to 4 minutes. Have a look after 3, and leave it in a little longer if the cheese hasn't melted.
- Lift the slices out with tongs once the base is crisp and the pizza is hot all the way through. Finish with parmesan, garlic powder or red pepper flakes if you like.
Notes
- Times by crust: At 350° F (175° C), thin crust takes 2 to 3 minutes, regular crust 3 to 4, and thick or stuffed crust 4 to 6. Deep dish needs 8 to 10 minutes at 325° F (160° C).
- Frozen slices: Reheat them straight from the freezer at 350° F (175° C) for 8 to 12 minutes.
- Toppings: Take off fresh basil or arugula, and put it back on after reheating. Thin pepper slices and anything else that burns easily can go back on for the last minute.
- Browning too fast: Turn the heat down by about 20° F (10° C) and give it another minute or two.
- Crispier crust: Brush the edge with a little olive oil before you put it in.
- Parchment or foil: Only put it in once the air fryer is hot, with the pizza on top to hold it down. Use parchment with holes, or poke a few holes in the foil.
- Different air fryers: I use a Cosori. If you have a different model, check the pizza a minute early.
- Storage: Keep leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, or freeze the slices for 1 to 2 months. Only warm up the slices you're going to eat, as pizza doesn't taste as good reheated twice.
- Calories: The number is for one slice of cheese pizza with a regular crust. Extra toppings change it.
