While it’s best to assemble and enjoy them fresh, you can prepare the ingredients separately and assemble them right before serving.
How do I store leftover protein pizzas?
To store leftover protein pizzas, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap each pizza individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent drying. Place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing. Place the wrapped pizzas in a freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible. Label with the date and freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat leftover protein pizzas in the air fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to around 350°F (180°C).
- Place the leftover protein pizzas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the pizzas are warmed through and the crust is crispy.
To reheat in the oven:
