  • If you are using a container that has a tight lid, just keep the lid tightly closed.
  • Store pizza in the freezer to keep it fresh for up to 6 months. Frozen pizza can last for about 6 months, so this is the best option if you have a lot of pizzas and don't plan to eat them within a few days.
    • If you left pizza on a plate before, switch to a container with a tight-fitting lid, but be sure to place a tissue between layers.
    • Thaw the cake for about 1 hour on the kitchen table before reheating for best results.

    Advice: If you buy a frozen pizza, it will last up to 1 year. However, these pizzas are quickly frozen and prepared to have a longer shelf life. To be safe, you should only freeze leftover pizza for 6 months.

  • Method 2 of 2: Reheat leftover pizza

    1. Use the toaster to heat 1-2 slices of pizza quickly. Preheat toaster oven to 204 degrees C, then place pizza in oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the surface is bubbly and warm.
      • The toaster is quite small so this is only suitable when you are baking pizza for one person.
    2. Try heating the pizza in a pan for the best texture. Dun heat the pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place 1-2 pieces of cake in the pan and cover the pot. Heat the cake for 6-8 minutes while keeping the lid on. When it's done, you will have a delicious pizza with a crispy crust, a bubble and warm on the surface.
      • Cover the pot to let the cake surface heat evenly and the crust slowly crunch. If the pan does not have a splash, you can cover it with foil.
      • After 6-8 minutes, if the crust is still wet but the surface is warm, open the pot and keep warming for a few more minutes.

    3. Heat the pizza in the microwave if you want it fast. The pizza heated in the microwave will change its texture, making the crust chewy and hard, so gourmets don't like to use this method. However, if you are in a hurry then sometimes this is the only way to heat up the cake. To maintain the best texture possible, place a tissue between the plate and the cake, microwave it at 50% and warm for 1 minute.

      Advice: To prevent the crust from getting wet when reheating it in the microwave, try placing a half-full glass of water in the oven with the pizza. The water will absorb some of the surrounding microwaves and help the pizza heat evenly.

    Advice

    • Consider placing some diced tomatoes, basil leaves, mushrooms and other fresh vegetables on top before reheating them. You can also sprinkle some olive oil on the cake or add cheese.

    Warning

    • Do not microwave the entire pizza box. If you do, not only will the pizza have a cardboard smell, but there is also a risk of fire. Furthermore, cardboard boxes and pigments can release harmful chemicals into food.
