Fuck me, might as well make a whole new pizza.
I’ll just eat it cold 😎
Fridge pizza is it’s own level of awesomeness
Easier: Put pizza in oven. Preheat to 350f. When preheat is over, it’s ready to eat.
Not easier, but better: olive oil in med-high heat pan for a few min, broil for a few min. Crispy, tasty bottom (esp. if you season your pan…like, literally.), nice, fresh-tasting top, charred to your preference.
Also entirely depends on your topping choice, dough, cheese, sauce. I use all veg toppings, so my crust can get a little soggier as it sits to cool when fresh. I’ve found the right dough, cheese, sauce combo, too (dough from my local spot, Michael’s of Brooklyn arrabiata sauce, TJ’s mozz shredded, sautéed veg, olive oil garlic crust)…every step and ingredient is important and changes what you need to do with he leftovers!
Exactly. And that’s if you have a good amount, like half a pizza. For just one slice just toss it in the microwave.
Tastes better cold though
They’re like two separate meals to me, and I love both equally.
Hot pizza after a few beers and some dips are great. Cold pizza with hot sauce on top for breakfast to fight the inevitable hangover is a delight.
Hot sauce on cold pizza is a favorite of mine, too.
Depends on the pizza and how much I love myself at that moment.
Acceptable pizza and I’m not in the mood to care, eat it cold.
Quality pizza and I want to show some respect for the pizza and myself, it’s the above or air fryer, or at minimum a few minutes in the toaster oven.
Excellent, but prefer cast iron
I pre heat the cast iron and lightly butter the skillet while I microwave the pizza to hot. Then crisp the crust in the skillet.
Fastest, bestest, way.
Oh god guys look, a cast-iron bore
Air fryer, 360f for 5-6minutes. (3 for thin, more if unusually thicc)
Yes! Air fryer supremacy. Faster than an oven, easier than a pan-on-stove, not soggy like a microwave.
Is moist crust desirable?
Better than dry crust.
Haven’t seen anyone mention the mixed method.
I put a glass of water in the microwave (make sure it’s microwave safe glass ofc) at 1min30 full power.
Then I add a plate with a pizza slice next to the glass in there. 50% power 1min.
Moisture melts everything without it becoming soggy and the pizza is evenly reheated.
Love it. The pan option is a bit too much effort, NGL.
It works well.
Better than toasting the thing in a 350 degree oven (becomes rock hard)
Way better than microwaving (becomes like soft but hot white bread)
Takes just a few minutes too.
Tbh, sometimes this way is better than fresh. An evenly heated slice, melty cheese and soft dough with a slightly crispy bottom.
Really, reheating most things in a pan is so much better than the microwave.
Sometimes I flip that cheese over and let it crisp up after steaming it
It’s good to have options, but I prefer delivery pizza when it’s cold.
I just microwave for 2 minutes on low power. Comes out perfect.
microwave briefly first to start to melt the cheese, but then heating for 20-30 seconds on the stove gives the base wonderful crunch. Better than fresh.
microwave only is just hot garbage.
microwave only is just hot garbage.
If you only use your microwave at max power, this is true.
Same here, 1 minute increments at low to medium power on a paper towel to soak up moisture from the crust. Perfect every time.
Toaster oven / air fryer for the win.
I always bake for 5-7 minutes at 420°f.
I don’t like crispy bottom on pizza
Me too, people always told me to use the oven or different ways to warm pizza but it always just made the bottom way crispier then it originally was when it was fresh. So I just stick with the microwave and that seems to work pretty well at keeping it like it was when it was fresh.
I’m a big fan of a pizza stone. Wasn’t too expensive and works well for reheating or fresh home-made pizza.
I use my baking steel for reheating pizza. Comes out great. Very energy inefficient though.
