way too time consuming.

3 mins. I mean an oven will take about 5. A microwave will give you a soggy floppy dried out mess.

 

[entremet]

If you're talking about Domino's or Papa Johns dumpster fire, sure eat that crap cold. It's hangover fare.

But Roberta's pizza cold? Nah, son.

New York Style-Pizza Reheating

Step 1: Throw it in the trash.
Step 2: Why did you order that no crust garbo to begin with, chump? No wonder you have left overs.

 

[Extollere]

Ok, now do this but while you got the skillet out fry a couple of sunny side eggs next to it. Put the eggs on top of the pizza when it's done it will fuckin blow you dawg im serious

 

[Wellscha]

Wait, there are people who don't like cold pizza??

 

[Escape Goat]

Wait, there are people who don't like cold pizza??

There are people who don't like ham?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Looks like a lot of effort.

I like soggy microwave pizza anyway.

Ew

 

[DopeToast]

99% of the time I eat it cold. I'll specifically buy an extra large pizza for myself with the intent of wrapping almost half the slices in aluminum foil and eating them cold for the next few days.

When I do reheat I use the toaster over, which works really well and can fit two normal size slices, or I'll use the conventional oven if I need to reheat more.

 

[thenexus6]

Is this a game changer? I need to remember to try this..

 

[SigSig]

Can someone try this already for science?
It takes like 3 minutes, come on.
I can't since my local pizza place isn't open yet.

 

[Zakalwe]

Another New York pizza joint innovating and showing the world how its done ;p

We've been doing this for years, I thought this was common knowledge!

 

[Koren]

So it's basically gyoza's technique?

 

[mrklaw]

We deliberately order too much pizza so there is left over to eat cold the next day.

 

[Zakalwe]

Nah.

Cold pizza is better.

No it's good but not better. No.

No.

 

[Apt101]

I've been doing this since college years circa 2002, but glad others are discovering it. Also try re-seasoning it while it steams (oregano, pepper). Stretches out a dollar.

 

[Summer Haze]

I'd rather just eat the cold pizza.

OP here but I did it with some Mediterranean flavoured chicken pizza from last night. Was amazing.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Eating cold pizza just seems so wrong. Like drinking warm coke.

 

[Social]

Why are people so amazed at this? It's a pan... and some water. It's not exactly that special.

Can't wait until some douche calls it a lifehack.

I'm just playing Pizza Warz, one of my favorite mini wars on GAF.

Its not the standard method of reheating anything.
It unlike other methods preserves the integrity of the pizza and in some cases makes it better (crisper base)
Everyone loves pizza

This thread may have fundamentally changed my life.

You got the curse of knowledge brah. I did not know about this method until I saw it posted on Reddit a few months back and tried it.

 

[LProtag]

I usually just cover it in foil in a frying pan, never tried the water + lid aspect of it.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Two things stand out about this thread...

1) the number of people who think it's too much work to throw a piece of pizza in a pan with water

2) the number of people appalled by cold pizza

 

[Diancecht]

Cold pizza is the best pizza.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Just order another hot pizza, yo.

 

[Broken Joystick]

As a student, cold pizza is a fucking saviour

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Cold pizza really brings out the pineapple flavor.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Looks like aot of trouble, just eat it fucking cold.

 

[Magnus]

Toaster Oven kind of nails it. Put slices straight on the rack. Crispy bottom, broil on top to get the cheese melty, easy. No clean up.

 

[zerosum]

This reminds of something I would have seen from "troll physics".

[AllGamer]

Who reheats pizza? Cold pizza is great!

 

[sc0la]

I have been doing a similar method with leftover pizza for years. In some cases it's better than the first go round IMO.

I microwave the pizza for 30-60 seconds to warm up toppings and cheese then go straight to the frying pan. the microwave step let's me skip the steaming. Apparently I am too lazy to steam it, but not lazy enough to eat leftover pizza like a savage (cold, or "just" microwaved).

Try it. either method. It will change your pizza leftover life.

Edit: damn a lot of doubters in this thread. I reiterate in many instances the pizza tastes better than the first go round.

 

[YuShtink]

Ew who likes the bottom of their pizza to be crispy?

 

[Ruruja]

I just eat my pizza when I get it.

I've never reheated pizza.

 

[Acorn]

But I like cold pizza. It's hangover crack.

 

[Nozomi]

Im using a Pizzastone for my oven

Allmost as good as freshly made from a trattoria and also works perfect for reheating pizza.

Yeah. And if you grease/butter the rack or foil the pizza doesn't stick.

 

[Stat Flow]

Reheat....pizza?

Da fuck

Looks like a lot of effort.

I like soggy microwave pizza anyway.

I order pizza and put it in the fridge after it cools off before I eat any of it. Cold pizza is the only good pizza.

This is disgusting. All of you are disgusting animals.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

I do this but without water. I set the stove to 3 and cover the pan, then come back in ten minutes. Steam sounds like it would improve the speed a lot, so I'll give that a shot.

[Indicate]

I tried this method and it does work as the picture implies BUT i can't seem to get the pizza hot this way. It gets lukewarm at best.

I found this method only works for room temperature pizza. When straight from the fridge, do 3 mins and then 4 mins. Works perfectly.

This is the only way I reheat pizza ever since I learned about this.

 

[scabro]

i just put it in microwave for a minute or two, then pop it on the pan until the bottom gets crispy

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Who has time to reheat pizza like this?

 

[Big-E]

Cold all day, everyday.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Who has time to reheat pizza like this?

It's 3 mins... I still don't understand the mentality of posts like this.

I suppose you could always eat it cold like the filthy animal you are but this is like minimal prep, I wonder how people can actually be bothered to make a decent meal if they can't spend 3 min warming up some pizza

 

[jaypah]

Thanks for the protip. I feel stupid though because now I want pizza for dinner just to try this tomorrow.
