The Best Way to Reheat Pizza

That is, if you have any leftovers

reheat pizza2

Leftover pizza is a godsend, but it’s surprisingly tricky to heat it up so that it tastes just as good as it did when it was fresh. The microwave is fast but makes it kinda soggy, and the oven heats it nicely but takes sooo long. The solution? Reheat pizza on the stove. It's simple. All you need is a nonstick skillet and some leftover pizza.

Step 1: Toss the pizza into the skillet.

Cook over medium-low heat for about three minutes.

Step 2: Place a piece of aluminum foil on top and heat for another two minutes.

This technique creates the perfect balance of melty cheese and crispy crust. Your slice will heat up way more quickly than it would in the oven and way more evenly than it would in the microwave.

Step 3: Enjoy!

A totally delicious win-win, if you ask us.
