How to reheat a pizza in an air fryer without burning it 🍕
Why choose an air fryer to heat your pizza? 🤔
The air fryer is the perfect way to get a hot and crispy pizza in minutes ⏳. Unlike the microwave (which makes the dough soggy 😒) or a conventional oven (which takes longer and uses more energy), the air fryer heats up quickly, preserves the texture, and browns the crust without burning it. The result: a slice of pizza that tastes just like it came from the pizzeria, even the next day! 🥳
Plus, you can reheat one or more portions without a long preheating time, perfect for smaller appetites or sudden cravings. Discover more tips in our air fryer guide !
Easy tips to avoid burning your pizza 🔥
- Moderate temperature: 160°C is ideal for reheating without burning, even for thin crusts. 🌡️
- Check if it's cooked: Take a look after 3 minutes, especially if your slice is thin or already well-filled. 👀
- Baking paper or a baking rack: Place the pizza on a sheet of baking paper to prevent the cheese from sticking or burning. 🧀
- Don't overcrowd the basket: Leave some space for air to circulate – guaranteed crispiness! 💨
- Add a splash of water: For a moist topping, place a small ramekin of water in the bottom of the air fryer. 💧

Common mistakes to avoid for a perfect pizza 😬
- Too high a temperature: 180°C or more, that's the trap! You risk burning the crust and drying out the filling.
- Don't forget to keep an eye on it: The air fryer heats up quickly, so don't wander too far away… ⏲️
- Stacking the slices: This prevents air circulation and makes the pizza soggy.
- Frozen pizza not thawed: Thaw slightly before placing in the air fryer for even cooking.
