How to Reheat Pizza in an Air Fryer (Crispy Every Time)

Air-fried slices of pepperoni pizza with crispy crust

Reheating pizza in an air fryer gives you crispy crust and melty cheese in minutes — no soggy slices here. This quick guide shows you the best temperature and timing for thin crust, deep dish, and everything in between.

Quick Answer:

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F, then place the pizza slice(s) in a single layer. Reheat for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness. Thin crust takes less time, while deep dish may need up to 8 minutes. Always check early to prevent burning.

Best Temperature to Use: 350°F is the sweet spot for most pizza. It’s high enough to crisp the crust but not so hot that it scorches your cheese or toppings.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
  2. Place pizza in the basket in a single layer (no overlapping).
  3. Heat according to time chart.
  4. Check halfway through—look for bubbling cheese and crispy edges.

  • Tips for Best Results
  • Don’t stack slices—airflow is key.
  • If crust looks dry, spritz lightly with oil or brush with a tiny bit of water.
  • Want extra crisp? Add 1 extra minute at 370°F at the end.
  • Avoid using foil unless needed for very saucy or cheesy slices.

FAQ

Can you reheat multiple slices at once?
Yes, but make sure they’re in a single layer with space between them. For more than 2 slices, work in batches.
