Figured out the best way to reheat pizza!

Are you kidding? This is the only way to reheat pizza. I've never done it any other way.
 
This might not be an epiphany to some, but the best way to reheat pizza is...

In a toaster oven.

I know it sounds simple, but it's WELL WORTH IT! If you do it at an appropriately high temperature, you actually get a pizza that is crunchy on TOP. Like the toppings are crispy. And it doesn't dry it up too much if you use a high temp.

I was blown away at the results. It was actually better than the original pizza. If I had any semblance of discipline, I would wait for it to cool down after buying it and toast the MFer.

I read in some stupid internet article a while back to cook it in a skillet or frying pan, but you don't get a crisp top this way. It's also easier in the toaster oven. A microwave leaves the pizza limp like an old man without Viagra. Cold pizza? Meh. If it's so good, why don't joints have an option to serve a room temperature one?

The toaster oven is the way to go, folks. Trust me, you'll thank me later.


If you cook it in a pan then you have to flip it. As long as you keep the temperature medium and a thin layer of oil down it won't stick.

But a regular oven at 350 will suffice instead of a toaster oven. The benefit of a toaster oven though is that it takes less time to get up to temperature because of the small volume.
 
This a relevant question, I have recently discovered that microwaving pizza is not the best way.
3 minutes at 200 Celsius in the oven works for me now.
 
Nope. Skillet is the right way. I go for the crispy thin crust, it may be different if you are one of those deep dish slobs.
 
I'm on team oven/toaster. They're very versatile. But when it comes to leftover pizza, I'm usually in too much of a hurry to not just toss it in the microwave instead.


Yea if i'm patient i just turn the oven on. Don't have a toaster.
 
NYC Style pizza parlours reheat pizzas all the time.

They make a whole bunch of pies, and leave it in the glass cases for people to see and choose. When patrons make selection, they cut the slice, and put it back in the pizza over for reheating.

So I say the best way to reheat a NYC style pizza is in a pizza oven.
 
Some dude here a while back posted about reheating pizza in a frying pan. I tried it and I gotta day, it was pretty fucking good.

Widely excepted as the way to do it right.

I do have a mini oven but I rarely use it.

For leftover pizza I do something like this:

I like how it’s written in a form that children and stoned people can follow
