Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Fuck me, might as well make a whole new pizza.

I’ll just eat it cold 😎

Fridge pizza is it's own level of awesomeness

They're like two separate meals to me, and I love both equally.

Hot pizza after a few beers and some dips are great. Cold pizza with hot sauce on top for breakfast to fight the inevitable hangover is a delight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Depends on the pizza and how much I love myself at that moment.

Acceptable pizza and I'm not in the mood to care, eat it cold.

Quality pizza and I want to show some respect for the pizza and myself, it's the above or air fryer, or at minimum a few minutes in the toaster oven.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Easier: Put pizza in oven. Preheat to 350f. When preheat is over, it's ready to eat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Not easier, but better: olive oil in med-high heat pan for a few min, broil for a few min. Crispy, tasty bottom (esp. if you season your pan…like, literally.), nice, fresh-tasting top, charred to your preference.

Also entirely depends on your topping choice, dough, cheese, sauce. I use all veg toppings, so my crust can get a little soggier as it sits to cool when fresh. I’ve found the right dough, cheese, sauce combo, too (dough from my local spot, Michael’s of Brooklyn arrabiata sauce, TJ’s mozz shredded, sautéed veg, olive oil garlic crust)…every step and ingredient is important and changes what you need to do with he leftovers!

Exactly. And that's if you have a good amount, like half a pizza. For just one slice just toss it in the microwave.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Sometimes I flip that cheese over and let it crisp up after steaming it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's good to have options, but I prefer delivery pizza when it's cold.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Air fryer, 360f for 5-6minutes. (3 for thin, more if unusually thicc)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes! Air fryer supremacy. Faster than an oven, easier than a pan-on-stove, not soggy like a microwave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Better than dry crust.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Haven't seen anyone mention the mixed method.

I put a glass of water in the microwave (make sure it's microwave safe glass ofc) at 1min30 full power.

Then I add a plate with a pizza slice next to the glass in there. 50% power 1min.

Moisture melts everything without it becoming soggy and the pizza is evenly reheated.

Love it. The pan option is a bit too much effort, NGL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It works well.

Better than toasting the thing in a 350 degree oven (becomes rock hard)

Way better than microwaving (becomes like soft but hot white bread)

Takes just a few minutes too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Tbh, sometimes this way is better than fresh. An evenly heated slice, melty cheese and soft dough with a slightly crispy bottom.

Really, reheating most things in a pan is so much better than the microwave.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Excellent, but prefer cast iron

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Oh god guys look, a cast-iron bore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I just microwave for 2 minutes on low power. Comes out perfect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

microwave briefly first to start to melt the cheese, but then heating for 20-30 seconds on the stove gives the base wonderful crunch. Better than fresh.

microwave only is just hot garbage.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

microwave only is just hot garbage.

If you only use your microwave at max power, this is true.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Same here, 1 minute increments at low to medium power on a paper towel to soak up moisture from the crust. Perfect every time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm a big fan of a pizza stone. Wasn't too expensive and works well for reheating or fresh home-made pizza.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I use my baking steel for reheating pizza. Comes out great. Very energy inefficient though.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't like crispy bottom on pizza

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Me too, people always told me to use the oven or different ways to warm pizza but it always just made the bottom way crispier then it originally was when it was fresh. So I just stick with the microwave and that seems to work pretty well at keeping it like it was when it was fresh.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 months ago

Ew, non stick pan.

Pizza a la plastic plz!
