Description
Reheating leftover delivery pizza to perfection is easy with this simple recipe. Slices left in the refrigerator can be good for as much as three days, but it’s best to eat it within two.
Ingredients
Leftover pizza.
Instructions
Remove leftover pizza from the refrigerator.
Warm a pan over very low heat.
Place a one slice of pizza into the pan, toppings facing upward, and allow to warm.
Continue to heat slowly until the cheese is shiny and the toppings are warm to the touch. This may take anywhere from 10-30 minutes, so check regularly for doneness.
Notes
Cheese can get stuck to certain kinds of pans, so over-melting the cheese can be a bad idea.
Sometimes oil from the cheese will accumulate in the bottom of the pan. This is usually fine but will limit how crispy the crust can get.
If you have an extra-thick piece, sometimes the bottom can over-coook before the toppings are ready. One way to counteract this is to cover the pan. This will trap in the hot air and warm the toppings faster.
Covering with a pan may accelerate the cooking process, but it also traps in moisture. Do so sparingly, and only for as long as is necessary.
