Pizza tastes great any time of day, whether it’s lunch, dinner, breakfast, or a midnight snack. While many people enjoy leftover slices cold, it tastes great reheated if you can avoid the soggy crust. Fortunately, the following tips show you how to keep everything crispy the next day.

3 Pizza Reheating Tips for Perfect Crispiness

1. Slow Oven

Avoid the microwave if you want a crisp crust. Instead, take the slices and place them on a baking tray that has a rim. Cover the tray and pizza tightly with foil, then place the tray on the lowest rack of your cold oven. Turn the oven on to bake at 275 degrees and heat for 25 minutes. This process allows your meal to heat up from the bottom slowly, while the foil keeps the toppings from drying out. 

2. Hot Oven

When the tray’s hot and the oven’s at full temp, take out the tray and put the slices on it. Reheat for around 10-15 minutes.

3. Cast-Iron Skillet

If you’ve got a cast-iron skillet, you can try heating it up this way. It should be well-seasoned or else the pizza may stick. Place the leftover slices in the pan, turn on the burner, and let it heat a few minutes. Then add a few drops of water to the pan, avoiding the food. Cover with a lid and let everything steam until the cheese melts and the crust is crisp. Using a clear lid is helpful to avoid burning. It’s possible to use a non-stick pan, but the cast iron will deliver a crisper, more evenly heated result.
