As a pizza lover and someone who writes about the best pizzas from Mortadella Head, I’ve learned that reheating pizza can be tricky.
But if you’ve ever ordered our delicious frozen pizzas and are looking for a game-changer way to enjoy them, I’ve got you covered.
Today, I’m sharing the best way to reheat frozen pizza in an air fryer.
This method will have your slices tasting just like they came fresh from our ovens.
Why the Air Fryer is a Game Changer
If you’re like me, you love crispy, bubbly pizza, but a microwave just doesn’t cut it. The air fryer is my go-to for reheating frozen pizza because the hot air circulates evenly, giving you a crisp crust and perfectly melted toppings.
And it’s fast! You can take your pizza from frozen to hot and crispy in just a few minutes without waiting for the oven to preheat.
If you’ve ordered one of our incredibly popular deals—like The Perfect Roman Cheese Pizza Box or The Roman Pizza Combo Box—this method ensures that every slice reheats perfectly.
What You’ll Need
- Your favorite frozen pizza from Mortadella Head
- An air fryer (whether you have a basket-style air fryer or an oven-style air fryer, this method works for both!)
- Parchment paper or air fryer paper liners (for easy cleanup)
- Olive oil (optional for an extra-crispy crust)
- Any extra favorite pizza toppings you want to add like fresh basil, crushed red pepper, or even bell pepper
The Best Way to Reheat Frozen Pizza in an Air Fryer
Here’s the step-by-step process I use to get the best results every time:
- Preheat your air fryer: Set the air fryer to 350 degrees F. This temperature is perfect for getting the pizza crust crispy while ensuring the toppings heat through without burning.
- Prepare your pizza: If you want to give the crust an extra crunch, lightly brush the edges with olive oil. Lay a sheet of parchment paper or use an air fryer liner to prevent sticking.
- Place the frozen pizza in a single layer: It’s important that the pizza slices are in a single layer to allow the hot air to circulate and reheat the pizza evenly. Don’t stack the slices—give them space to breathe!
- Cooking time: Depending on the type of pizza, the cooking time will vary. For thin crust pizza, cook for 3-4 minutes. For thicker pizzas like ours, add another minute or two for that perfectly warmed center. Check halfway through to make sure it’s heating evenly.
- If you’re like me and love to add extras, top your pizza with some red pepper flakes, or fresh basil before serving for that added flavor.
Pro Tips for Reheating Mortadella Head Frozen Pizza
- Use parchment paper or liners: Not only does this help with cleanup, but it also prevents the pizza from sticking to the basket of your air fryer.
- Room temperature trick: If you’re reheating leftover pizza that’s been in the fridge (not the freezer), let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before popping it into the air fryer. This helps achieve that perfect texture more quickly.
- Frozen pizza reheating: Since Mortadella Head ships their pizzas frozen, they’re ready to go straight from the freezer into the air fryer. No need to thaw—just increase the cooking time by 2-3 minutes for that crispy pizza finish!
The Best Way to Store Leftover Pizza
When you order from Mortadella Head, you’ll likely have leftovers because our pizzas are are HUGE. If you have leftover slices after reheating, make sure to store them properly to keep them tasting fresh.
- Airtight container: Store your leftover slices in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
- Freezing for later: You can refreeze our pizzas too! Just make sure to wrap them up in plastic or use a freezer-safe bag, and you’ll have pizza ready for another round of reheating.
