Leftover pizza reheats in just a matter of minutes! You can have crispy leftover pizza cooked to perfection, just like freshly baked pizza. This also works if your box of pizza is left on the counter and needs to be warmed up, or if you just need 2-3 pieces of individual pieces too.
Reheating leftover pizza in the air fryer makes the crust crispy, and melts the cheese just right. Unlike reheating takeout pizza in the microwave, which gives you soft and sometimes soggy pizza, air frying pizza is a game changer.
Guess what!? It does the same MAGIC with French fries and chicken wings! My favorite thing about reheating wings in the air fryer is that they always come out tasting fresh and new.

HOW TO REHEAT PIZZA LEFTOVERS IN AIR FRYER
STEP 1- Place the cold pizza slices of pizza in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Reheat slices in batches if necessary.
STEP 2- Air fry the pizza at 380 degrees F for 3-4 minutes cooking time, until you have hot pizza with a crispy crust and melted cheese. Remove from the air fryer using tongs.
I make this recipe in my Cosori Air Fryer. (I use a basket style air fryer, but you can also use these directions with a tray air fryer by using a small baking sheet or racks.) Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

TIPS FOR REHEATING PIZZA IN AIR FRYER
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer- I usually only reheat 1-2 slices at a time, to prevent blocking hot air flow.
Adjust time depending on type of pizza- If reheating deep dish pizza, or thick crust pizza, you may need to add an additional minute or two to the cook time. For thin crust pizza, you probably won’t need as much time.
For easy Air Fryer Frozen Pizza dinners, use the air fryer to make Air Fryer Totino’s Pizza. You can also try our French Bread Pizza, or Air Fryer Pizza Rolls, or Pizza Egg Rolls.
FAQ’s ABOUT REHEATING PIZZA IN AIR FRYER
HOW DO I STORE LEFTOVER PIZZA?
Day-old pizza is always the best! When storing the original leftover pizza, wrap it, or cover it with aluminum foil, or in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Don’t reheat pizza slices until you are ready to eat them, as it is not recommended to reheat more than once.
DOES IT MATTER WHAT KIND OF PIZZA I WANT TO REHEAT?
When reheating pizza in air fryer, keep in mind if you have thicker crusts or thicker pizzas, you may need to continue air frying in one minute increments. For thinner pizzas, air fry for a shorter time. Stuffed crust pizza may also need an extra minute or two.
CAN I ADD ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS WHEN REHEATING LEFTOVER PIZZA?
You can definitely add extra toppings like a little more cheese, sauce, or pepperonis. I like to add more melty cheese like shredded mozzarella right before reheating. This makes it taste even more like fresh pizza.
