Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 slice leftover pizza
- cooking oil spray (optional)
Instructions
Reheat Pizza in Air Fryer:
- Place the pizza slice on your air fryer tray or in the air fryer basket. Don’t overlap the pizza slices if cooking more than one piece- they'll stick together when the cheese melts.
- Air fry for 3-5 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Use the top rack position if cooking in an air fryer oven. (This is for regular crust pizza. Cook 3 minutes for thin crust pizza and 5 minutes for deep dish.)
Reheat Frozen Pizza in Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place 1-2 frozen pizza slices in the air fryer basket or tray. Don’t overlap them. Spray the crust with a little cooking spray if you’re worried it will dry out.
- Reheating frozen pizza in air fryer takes 5-10 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Bigger slices and pizzas with a thicker crust take longer than thin crust pizzas.
Notes
💭 Expert Tips from a Dietitian
This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). One slice of my air fryer leftover pizza has 270 calories, 24 grams net carbs, and 14 grams protein. This is for a medium slice of combo pizza with sausage, pepperoni, peppers, and onions. The exact nutrition information for your serving will depend on the type of pizza you use and your portion size. Pizza tends to be one of those foods that is very easy to overeat. Because of this, I don’t consider it the best option if you have a weight loss goal. I know that I can polish off ½ or even a whole small pizza by myself, and that I’m not alone in this. I’d argue that pizza with a whole grain crust isn’t much better for weight loss than regular pizza. Both white and whole wheat flour provide 100-110 calories per ¼ cup. It’s a small portion, and the calories add up fast in items like pizza and baked goods. So, how do you make a pizza meal more filling without eating 1000 calories of pizza? I’d add a large side salad to the meal or frozen vegetables in the air fryer. Thin crust pizzas, vegetable pizzas, and cheese pizzas tend to be the lightest pizza options. Cauliflower crust pizzas are a neat way to lower the calories and sneak some extra veggies into your day. Stuffed crust pizzas, meat pizzas, and pizzas with “the works” are usually the higher energy pizzas. Add air fryer frozen french fries or air fryer garlic bread for an even higher calorie meal. I also really like chickpea flour crust pizzas. These provide more protein and fiber than your regular pizza made with a white flour crust. Don't miss my recipe for chickpea pizza crust recipe! Nutrition information is for one serving and varies depending on the type of pizza and your portion size.

FAQs
Does reheating pizza in air fryer make it crispy?
Yes, the air fryer is great for getting a crispy pizza crust, and it’s faster than using the oven too! Reheating pizza leftovers in the microwave doesn’t give you a crisp crust like the air fryer or oven does.
How long to reheat deep dish pizza in air fryer?
You can use this air fryer recipe to reheat leftover deep-dish pizza in the air fryer. If the deep pan pizza isn’t heated to your liking after 5 minutes, take toppings off and add more time. Add the toppings back on after you are done air frying. This will help keep the pepperoni, ham, and other toppings from burning.
How to reheat pizza in oven?
Reheat leftover pizza in an oven preheated to 350F (175C) for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, reheat pizza in oven at 400F (200C) for 5-8 minutes. Since you have to preheat the oven for 10 minutes before baking, this method is slower than air frying.
Can you use pizza stones in air fryers?
You can use a pizza stone in an air fryer oven, if you can find one that fits! Here’s a pizza stone for the Dash Chef Series Air Fryer Oven, and here is a pizza set with a pizza stone for the Power Air Fryer. If your air fryer doesn’t offer a pizza accessory kit, you may be able to adapt one from another brand.
How to reheat pizza in the toaster oven?
Reheat leftover pizza in a toaster oven preheated to 350F (175C) for 3-5 minutes. This is a good alternative reheating method when you don’t have an air fryer.
