How to Reheat Leftover Pizza for a Crispy Crust
Bring your leftover pizza back to life with a crisp crust, perfectly melted cheese, and hot toppings all without the soggy mess of the microwave or the fuss of the oven.
Servings: 1 slice
Cost: $0
Ingredients
- Cast iron skillet with lid
- 1-2 slices leftover pizza (cold from fridge or thawed from freezer)
Instructions
- Place a cold, dry skillet on the stovetop.
- Add slices of leftover pizza, crust side down.
- Cover the skillet with a lid.
- Turn burner to Low heat. Start with 8 minutes; check at 5 minutes if unsure.
- Do not lift the lid until cooking time is up.
- Once done, carefully remove slices. Enjoy hot, crisp, and melty pizza.
Notes
No oil, water, or flipping needed. Low-and-slow heat restores the crust while gently melting toppings.
If your pizza is frozen, thaw on the countertop for about an hour before reheating.
Adjust timing slightly for your stove and skillet; the goal is crisp bottom and hot, melted toppings.
