I leave it in the oven & I will eat leftovers at room temp, but cold pizza.....shiver me timbers.
Meatloaf sandwich. Yum.
Yes orts taste better on the second warming
try reheating pizza slices upside down in a skillet. Low flame of course.
“But it goes into the microwave or the toaster oven for 30 sec first”
Pro tip from a four time four university multiple post grad sheepskin college grad...pizza should be microwaved for 30 seconds than put on to a preheated cast iron pan at 450F on the pan surface thats water bead dancing hot. Drop the slice put the lid on it for 45 sec to a min. This returns the pizza to piping hot crispy goodness with melted cheese and doesn’t dry it out like the toaster oven....SCIENCE!
45-60 seconds? I can be out the door in 45-60!
Seriously, after boiling water for coffee in the microwave, I get the same results for rejuvenated pizza by putting the slice in the microwave. While the coffee drips, the steambath in the microwave softens the pizza which then only needs 10 seconds, so it emerges moist.
Most everyone in my family is a NYC-raised pizza snob so I’m talking fresh baked leftover, not frozen. Don’t know if frozen pizza can be redeemed by any means under heaven.
I’ve tried to quit cold turkey.
Thanks I never thought about steam bathing in the microwave. The water you use to check the pan heat as it dances is also trapped under the lid with the pizza so I guess it does the same effect. The hot pan surface toasts the bottom to that blistered crust I love. And never frozen pizza always fresh from places that import the starter dough, water and brick ovens from Brooklyn. From 2018 till 2020 I was in NYC for a week or two at a time 8 times per year going in and out of upstate for environmental geo contracting at the tail end of each upstate run.
The pizza that all other Brooklyn style pizza is judged by has to be Di Fara Pizza on Avenue J hand made by old man Di Fara himself.
