Reheat Pizza in Air Fryer
Reheating pizza in the air fryer is one of the best ways to warm your pizza after it has been cooked. This is a quick and easy way to reheat your leftover pizza, and it tastes just as good as fresh pizza does.

What Is A Deep Dish Pizza?
Deep dish pizza, sometimes known as Chicago-style Pizza, is pizza that is very thick. It is almost made like a pie.
Your pizza crust lines the edges and sides and is filled with pizza sauce, cheese, and many different kinds of toppings, that make up the filling of the pizza.
Deep dish pizza is a fun way to mix things up and enjoy the delicious taste of pizza, in a slightly different form.
The Best Way to Reheat Deep Dish Pizza
Although there are many ways you can reheat leftover pizza, one of the quickest, easiest, and best tasting ways to reheat pizza is using an air fryer.
Below we are going to show you exactly how you can do this, followed by other methods you can use to reheat pizza as well.
Method 1: How to Reheat Deep Dish Pizza in Air Fryer
Simply take your slices of pizza and place them, with space in between, into your air fryer basket. Or you can make them into as close of a pizza shape as possible inside your air fryer basket.
Close your air fryer and heat it to 350°F (176.7°C). Air fry your deep dish pizza for approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Check on your pizza, to see if it is warmed through. If it is not, rearrange your pizza inside the air fryer basket so that it cooks evenly, and continue air frying for another one to two minutes, keeping an eye on your deep dish pizza slices so that they warm all the way through and do not burn.
When your slices of pizza have warmed through, and your cheese is once again melting, remove your slices of pizza from the air fryer basket, serve and enjoy!
How Long to Reheat Deep Dish Pizza in Air Fryer
Reheating deep dish pizza in your air fryer typically takes between three and five minutes to reheat, however, the time may vary depending upon your specific air fryer, and how thick your slices are.
It’s always a good idea to set your timer for less than you think it will take, then add additional time until your pizza is warmed through. This way you avoid burning your pizza.
Tips for Reheating Leftover Pizza in Air Fryer
Time and Temperature. The best time and temperature for reheating pizza in your air fryer is typically 350°F, and begin with 5 minutes to reheat your slices of pizza, then add more if needed.
Aluminum Foil. It is recommended that you take a sheet of aluminum foil and line the air fryer basket with it before adding your pizza slices.
Be sure to poke holes into the aluminum foil so the air can circulate inside of your air fryer. You may also want to spray your aluminum foil with a high smoke point oil so that your pizza slices do not stick.
Air Fryer Size and Style. Typically, most air fryer baskets can only fit one to three slices of deep dish pizza inside of them.
However, the number of pizza slices you can fit may vary depending upon the style of the air fryer and the size of your air fryer basket. Please keep this in mind when adding your pizza slices.
How to Reheat Deep Dish Pizza Using Other Methods
Method 2: How to Reheat Pizza Convection Oven
Similar to your air fryer instructions, you can also reheat pizza in a convection oven. To do this, preheat your convection oven to 350°F.
Place your slices of pizza onto a cookie sheet, then into your oven. Bake in your convection oven at 350°F for approximately 5 to 10 minutes depending on how many slices and the size of your oven.
Wait for your pizza slices to be warmed through, and your cheese to be melted. Remove from the oven and serve while warm.
Method 3: Reheat Pizza in Toaster Oven
You can also use a similar method to reheat pizza in the toaster oven. Place your slices of pizza onto a toaster oven-safe baking sheet, and bake a few slices at 350°F for approximately five minutes or until warm and the cheese is melted.
Method 4: Reheat Deep Dish Pizza in the Skillet
Another way you can reheat deep dish pizza is in a skillet. Place your skillet over medium heat, and allow it to warm. Add your slices of pizza, and heat until your cheese is melted. For best results, it works well to cover your skillet with a lid.
Method 5: Heating in a Sandwich Maker or Toaster
You can also use a sandwich maker or toaster to reheat pizza slices if desired. Although the toaster is not recommended, it can be messy, and even dangerous, you can use a sandwich maker to reheat pizza slices if needed.
Simply warm your sandwich maker, and add your pizza slices. Heat over medium until your pizza is warm and your cheese has melted. Remove, serve, and enjoy!
Method 6: Reheating Deep Dish Pizza in the Microwave
Heating your deep dish pizza in the microwave is probably the least desirable method as it changes the overall texture of your pizza. However if in a pinch you can use this method.
To reheat your deep dish pizza in the microwave, place it on a microwave-safe plate, and cover with a lightly damp paper towel.
Microwave for one minute, then check on your pizza to see if it’s done. If needed add another 30 seconds to one minute to continue heating your pizza slice.
Method 7: Eat it Cold!
People really enjoy eating leftover pizza that is cold, and not reheat it at all. As long as your pizza has been stored properly in the refrigerator, it is typically safe to eat cold pizza leftovers.
How To Store Deep Dish Pizza
Room Temperature. Deep dish pizza should not be left at room temperature any longer than two hours when the temperature is between 40°F (4.4°C) and 90°F (32.2°C).
However, if your room temperature is 90°F or above it should not be kept at room temperature any longer than one hour. When pizza is kept at room temperature, bacteria has a tendency to grow quickly, which is why it is only good for a matter of hours.
In The Fridge. Any leftover pizza should be stored in the fridge. To store it in the fridge, transfer your leftover pizza to an airtight container, or seal it in a plastic storage bag.
Place your storage pizza into the fridge for up to four days at 40°F (4.4°C) or below.
In The Freezer. Cooked pizza can also be frozen if you wish to keep it longer. Leftover pizza should be transferred to an airtight container or sealed in a plastic freezer bag, then placed in the freezer at 0°F (-17.8°C) or below for one to two months.
