Secret to Reheating Leftover Pizza!
Pizza lover? Pizza connoisseur? Pizza eater?
What’s your best way to reheat pizza? I know we tend to overcomplicate things in this modern day and age by taking additional steps, however the microwave is NOT always the answer.
Sure. The microwave gives you oozing melted cheese in a matter of seconds, but at the cost of soft chewy crust. Whether it be leftover pizza or frozen pizza, taking a few extra streps to reheat pizza will always be worth it!
Sometimes you just want that cheese to melt, crust to be crispy, and pizza that actually tastes like pizza!
Top 3 Pizza Reheating Methods:
- Stovetop
- Ovenbaked
- Air-fryer
How to reheat pizza on the stove:
Reheating pizza on the stove is my ultimate favorite heating method. Why? I love me a crispy crust. I find that nothing else at home can help create that crispy texture.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. You DO NOT need oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, add your pizza to the pan and heat for a few minutes.
- Add a few drops of water away from the pizza. You can add it to the sides of the pan.
- Cover with lid until the cheese melts. This typically takes up to a 1–3 minutes.
How to reheat pizza in the oven:
If you’re not really into a crispy pizza crust, you can better control how your pizza tastes by using the oven to reheat. It’s simple and convenient.
- Preheat the oven to 375° degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place pizza on top of foil and reheat for 5–10 minutes.
- Optional Step: Switch to the broiler for epic melting cheese.
How to reheat pizza in the air-fryer:
Using an air-fryer is the easiest alternative. All you need to do is drop your slices of pizza into the basket and your pizza will be ready in no time.
- Preheat the air-fryer to 350° degrees
- Place your pizza into your air-fryer basket
- Cook pizza for 2–3 minutes. (5–10 minutes if frozen)
- Check every few minutes until it’s to your liking.
