How to Reheat Cold Pizza

It’s Friday, which means I can post random things like how to reheat cold pizza.

From Cook’s Illustrated (an old one)

To reheat cold pizza slices, put the cold slices in a large skillet. Turn heat to medium, cover skillet with its lid, and cook the pizza for about 5-6 minutes or until it’s hot and bubbly. Remove the lid, let the pizza cook another minute or so to crisp it a bit, then serve.

I tried this last night and it worked. The crust did not lose its crispy texture like it would have in the microwave and the cheese did not dry out.

Just be careful not to use too high a heat or you’ll get a charred crust!
