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.
Time Chart by Pizza Type
Pizza Type | Time at 350°F | Tips |
Thin Crust | 3-4 minutes | Check early to avoid over-crisping |
Regular Crust | 4-5 minutes | Add a light oil mist if dry |
Deep Dish | 6-8 minutes | Cover loosely with foil for even heat |
Stuffed Crust | 5-7 minutes | Preheat air fryer for best results |
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
- Place pizza in the basket in a single layer (no overlapping).
- Heat according to time chart.
- Check halfway through—look for bubbling cheese and crispy edges.
- Use tongs or spatula to remove safely. Let cool slightly before eating.
- 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.
