How to Reheat Pizza in an Air Fryer: A Step-by-Step Guide


Hey, it's Kevin from Pizza Channel! Today, I’m sharing a top tip for reheating pizza in your air fryer. This method ensures a sizzling cheese topping and a perfectly crispy crust every time.

Why Reheat Pizza in an Air Fryer?

People rave about reheating pizza in an air fryer because it heats up quickly, melts the cheese, and crisps the crust. However, I often find the bottom of the slice a bit lacking. For that ideal crispy bottom, I've discovered a simple trick.

The Secret to a Crispy Pizza Bottom

The key is to preheat your air fryer for 5 to 10 minutes. This preheats the basket or pan, ensuring it’s nice and hot before you place your slice in it. This method is similar to using a pizza stone or steel, which crisps up the bottom and prevents a soggy, moisture-laden crust.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your air fryer for 5 to 10 minutes. For example, my GoWISE air fryer heats up to 400°F.
  2. Prepare the Pizza:

    • I have some New York-style pizza from Pasta Mista. Watch what happens when we heat a slice without preheating the basket.
  3. Reheating Without Preheating:

    • Place the pizza slice in the basket and heat it at 400°F for 3 minutes. The cheese melts, and the pepperoni sizzles, but the bottom remains soft and soggy.
  4. Preheating the Basket:

    • After preheating the basket for 5 minutes, check the temperature. It should be around 360°F.
  5. Reheating With Preheating:

    • Place the pizza slice in the preheated basket. This slice will cook quicker, taking only 2 to 2.5 minutes.
  6. Check the Results:

    • The cheese is melted, and the bottom is much crispier.

Taste Test

The difference is clear. The bottom is perfectly crispy, which makes a huge difference in the overall pizza experience.
