I get melty cheese and crispy crust out of a toaster oven. All you need to do is wrap the pizza slices in aluminum foil first so the heat distributes more evenly.

 

[Spenny]

Well I'm definitely trying this later today.

 

[v1lla21]

Gonna try it but cold pizza for breakfast is fucking delicious.

I like saving the crust and then eating it with a glass of chocolate milk.

 

[brianjones]

i dip my cold pizza in next mornings coffee like james woods character in videodrome

 

[Matt Attack]

Reheated pizza tastes soooo good. I usually do it in the oven, but I've definitely got to try this.

 

[jossueinacoma]

Cold pizza = best pizza

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Put cold pizza on pizza stone.
Put it in a cold oven.
Turn oven to 350.
When oven comes to temp the pizza is done.
Enjoy.

Magic Pizza Reheat Method! - How to Get Crispy Crust on Leftover Pizza!

disclaimer. i've never done this method. I'm too lazy, i just throw mine in the oven.

 

[ebullientprism]

I just eat it cold like the filthy animal that I am.

 

[Biske]

Picture says 2 drops, but can clearly see 3. What the fuck OP. What kind of bait and switch scam is this.







When you move away from microwaves to reheat shit, life really changes. Even just oven reheating was mind blowing. Will try this. sometime. someday.

 

[Steel]

The pizza setting on my microwave is more than enough for me.

 

[Chezzymann]

Does anyone else like cold pizza? I may be insane

 

[Basileus777]

Way too much work for a slice of pizza.

 

[MrCarter]

What a coincidence I'm just getting a pizza now. Pepperoni, spicy beef and mushroom. I normally re-heat the pan way anyway but didn't know the water drop/steam technique.

pizza is never too much work

 

[Glix]

I just preheat the oven to 425 and put the slice in for a minute or two and its pretty great. Maybe Ill give this a shot.

Protip: not the microwave. Not ever

 

[minor effort]

Pizza is to be heated exactly once.

The hierarchy: fresh hot pizza > cold pizza > reheated pizza.

Whenever I use my oven to reheat, it tastes worse than what comes out of the microwave's pizza preset.

 

[Sanjuro]

...what the fuck is leftover pizza?

 

[Demy]

O, I get it. You prepare a slice just like you would steamed hams.
Then enjoy with a nice view.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Mark me down for team cold pizza. Love it.

 

[aett]

The pan thing lets you do, what, one or two slices at a time? Do none of you have families? Try doing that for you, your spouse, and a couple of kids. For the same amount of time (possibly less) and a fraction of the effort, just reheat it in the oven for a few minutes.

And all these posts about not saving pizza are ridiculous. If we have a busy weekend ahead, we order extra pizza (or get extra take and bake) for a quick and filling dinner or lunch. It's perfect between sports/shopping/other errands/family activities.

 

[demon]

Cold pizza is awesome but it isn't necessarily better. It just makes it a really convenient and delicious leftover snack to pull right out of the fridge and eat.

That said, the best pizza is leftover chicago-style boiled in water. Yum!!

 

[DJ_Lae]

Way too much work if you're just making a single slice (and if I'm just doing that, I'm going to eat it cold).

If I'm going to heat up multiple slices I'll do it in the oven - 350 or so for about 5 minutes.

 

[Big_Al]

Not claiming it's better but I absolutely adore leftover cold pizza. Prefer it to being reheated.

 

[Treo360]

I love cold plain pizza. If there is toppings then it goes in my Aga as it's always on and doesn't dry out the food. Will try this just for shits...

Aluminum foil method works quite well, but sometimes takes too long.

 

[Jzero]

Way too much work. Toaster oven master race.

 

[Fusebox]

First I microwave the slice a bit. That melts the cheese and releases the moisture. Then I throw it on a skillet to toast the bottom.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

...what the fuck is leftover pizza?

you wouldnt know because you're a fatass.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Y'all need to upgrade and get a air deep fryer shits the bomb

 

[inner-G]

I heat it up in the microwave then crip it up in a skillet

Makes the crust awesome

 

[Stinkles]

Wrap in muslin and in a vacuum sealed bag sous vide it to 375 degrees over two hours. Perfection.

 

[Heckler456]

Looks like a lot of effort.

I like soggy microwave pizza anyway.

Right? I especially like Pizza Hut bbq pizza when reheated in the microwave.

If that makes me a monster, so be it!

 

[yongeandcollege]

Toaster oven.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I just do it in the over, butter under the pizza. Yummy.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Would definetely do this for a fancier slice. But cold chain delivery? I'll nuke it. It's become a wierd form of nostalgia, like pizza itself. My childhood Sundays were defined by throwing last night's Papa Murphy's in the microwave for a minute, for that perfect scalding-at-the-edges, cold-in-the-middle flavor experience. In high school, I'd live for entire weeks on microwaved leftover Dominos after the Drama Club inevitably ordered too much for a cast party.

Bad microwave pizza takes me back to those moments. Sure, it could be better. But then it wouldn't be the same.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Wait how is putting a slice of pizza in a pan and cooking it over heat with zero oil added "frying" it?

 

[Stinkles]

Y'all need to upgrade and get a air deep fryer shits the bomb

This is truth. Old fries? Gold fries! Leftover fried chicken? Pollo Res-erection! Cauliflower? Cauliwowee! Grilled Cheese? Thrilled Ease!

Etc

 

[itwasTuesday]

Microwave; worst
Toaster; oven convenient good
Cold; lazy acceptable

Also put a damp paper towel over leftover rice in the microwave.

 

[Wyndstryker]

id rather just eat it all the first time

...what the fuck is leftover pizza?

Only true answers here.

Avoid cold pizza and avoids reheating pizza all in one go.

 

[sc0la]

just like you can fry an egg with no oil. You are cooking it in a frying pan.

 

[Falchion]

Sounds awesome, will try soon.

"Let me get a fork......no, not to eat it with....I'm not a communist"

 

[RumblingRosco]

Where are my cold leftover pizza bros at? Why ruin good pizza by heating it up!?

 

[Da_Bears]

Reheat? Not a chance. That taste after it has had a night to snuggle up together in the cold fridge is the only way to go on leftover pizza.


Next thing you folks will be saying it is you use a knife and fork too.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

This method sucks, something about the steam-heated cheese gives it a really gross consistency

 

[Sanjuro]

you wouldnt know because you're a fatass.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I usually do it in the oven on a really low heat for 5 minutes, everything melts and it's nice and hot. I may give this a go next time to compare.
