Once they are cooled, store the pizza stuffed mini peppers in an airtight container and store in the fridge. If you have lots of leftovers, you can layer the peppers, just be sure to use parchment paper between layers to avoid them sticking together.
To heat them up, pop them in the oven, toaster oven or air fryer until warmed through and the cheese is melty again.
