You have a leftover slice of pizza in the fridge. Do you:
- Thread starter Perzeval
- Start date
Good point: nobody ever listens to what the pizza has to say on the matter.
Microwave - NEVER
Cold - on occasion, with discretion
Toaster Oven - 400 degrees F middle rack until cheese is just about to begin to bubble, then immediately take it out. It's restored. May take a minute or two longer for slices with toppings or non-tomato sauces (marsala, buffalo, etc.)
As an ingredient in other dishes - omelet, hors d'oeuvre, etc. - acceptable, if cut into strips on a bias first.
Slices over three days old - throw away, the magic is gone. Also the only acceptable time to throw pizza (Breaking Bad notwithstanding), otherwise always lay slices flat gently with the crust away from you.

I find it works best with thicker crust, but it's a "use what you got" kind a thing.
Toaster oven. That sort of reheat is often better than the actual fresh pizza (that crisp!) so that's the way for me.
Hearing it is just a formality, I'm eating it anyway regardless of what it has to say.
This is legit but takes way too long, plus if you want to warm up a ton of slices at once its a pain.
Combo method of the two
1-Microwave for 45 sec
2-Pan Fry on high for 1-2 mins
Same results in less time
Cold if i'm eating it in the morning, but microwaved if I'm eating it later in the day. I have no idea why cold pizza is better than warm/hot for breakfast, but it just is.
I keep forgetting to try it in air fryer, I really need to give it a shot.

I always reheat leftover pizza in the toaster oven. It just never comes out quite right in the microwave.
Drop it toppings down in a pan, let some of the toppings char, then flip and let the bread get toasty.
Nice crunch on the outside and still soft in the inside.

I only learned about oven reheating last year, and I feel like I wasted years of my pizza eating life on microwave reheating.
Reheat on a pan on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, turn it down to medium and then pour a tablespoon or so of water on a non-occupied portion of the pan away from the pizza and cover it with a lid so that the steam hydrates and reheats the cheese, toppings, and doughy part of the crust. Leave it another minute or two, adding another bit of water if needed.
That's what I've been doing for years and it works amazing for me!

Depends on the specific pizza, but I'll either eat it cold or toss it in the oven for a few minutes.
