Leftover pizza in an air fryer
leftover pizza in an air fryer
160 °C / 320 °F for 3–5 min
Oven equivalent: 180 °C / 356 °F for 8–12 min
An air fryer is a small convection oven, so leftover pizza cooks at 160 °C rather than 180 °C and takes 3–5 min instead of 8–12. That is roughly the usual 20 °C drop and a fifth off the time.

What goes wrong
- This is the best reheat method there is — the base re-crisps instead of going leathery as it does in a microwave.
- Three minutes is usually enough. Longer dries the cheese out.
Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard.
