Pizza is a favorite delivery option—and for a good reason. It's perfect for entertaining, completely customizable, and downright delicious. Plus, it often leaves leftovers, giving you two meals in one purchase. Get creative with your leftovers with these outside-of-the-box ideas.

Leftover Pizza Ideas

1. Skillet Pizza

Skip the microwave and reheat your pizza in a new way for delicious results. Simply heat a skillet to medium temperature and add your slice. Watch as the direct heat warms up your pizza without the sogginess that comes with the microwave. You'll enjoy a crispy crust and bubbly cheese, making your slice taste as good as it did when you pulled it out of the box.

2. Pizza Dipping Strips

Tonight's dinner can be tomorrow's appetizer. Cut your leftover pie into strips, with or without the crust, depending on your preference. Then, heat a skillet with olive oil and place your pieces in it. Reheat until the crust is crispy, and top your strips with your favorite seasonings, such as oregano, crushed red pepper, or Parmesan cheese. Don't forget to include marinara or ranch to dip your strips in.

3. Pizza Croutons

Cook your leftover pizza in the skillet in yet another way by creating flavorful and cheesy croutons that are perfect for your next soup or salad. Slice your pizza into 1-inch-by-1-inch squares. Then, stack two squares on top of each other with the cheese in the middle. Reheat in an olive oil-coated skillet until the cheese begins to bubble and the crust gets crouton-level crispy.

4. Italian Quesadilla

Using the pizza as your tortilla, you can create an Italian quesadilla filled with your favorite flavors. This leftover idea works exceptionally well with cheese pizza because it serves as a plain base that you can customize. First, decide which toppings you want to add. You can fill your quesadilla with vegetables, such as bell peppers, onion, or banana peppers, or throw in crumbled Italian sausage, ground beef, or pepperoni. Place your ingredients on the bottom half of a slice and fold the top half over. Finally, reheat it in a toaster oven, oven, or panini press.
