Pizza Protip

[Chronified]

When reheating leftover Pizza, place a mug of water in the microwave with the Pizza.

 

A few reasons for this:
1) It stops the pizza from heating too quickly (hot on outside / cold on side) by displacing a lot of the heat produced by the microwave

2) the moisture stops the pizza from tasting like cardboard. (rehydrates it)

3) The pizza tastes like 3x better than reheating it without water.

 

Don't trust me? Try it next time.

It'll take about 30 seconds extra because of the water, but it's VERY worth it.

How about just eat the whole pizza the first time then you don't have to deal with reheated pizza. 

[GoldenLag]

good pizza doesnt need to be reheated to be enjoyed.

Another tip is to store leftover pizza in a ziplock bag. I know some people who wrap it in foil or just throw the whole box into the fridge, but the ziplock is the best method I've been able to find so far.

Never had this problem as I never have leftover pizza to begin with...

[RumSwift]

Cold morning pizza after a night out will never be beaten. 

 

No need to heat it up.

Microwaving Pizza is the inferior method to begin with.

 

Oven, broil setting, put pizza in immediately, let pizza cook as the oven warms up. 3-5 minutes later, and you've got warm pizza with chewy melted cheese.

This is my preferred method of heating up pizza if time is not a factor: https://www.amazon.com/HotLogic-Mini-Personal-Portable-Oven/dp/B00EC7XJ28

 

My brother swears by using a pan on the stove top though.

 

As for @Chronified's tip, I went to go reheat my pizza in the microwave this morning and I have no room in my microwave for a plate and a mug with water.

Or just do it in a pan with a bit of oil and a lid. :)

Protip for making a delicious Pizza, Pascal... style: 

 

1. Roll out the Pizza dough in a thin but not to thin fashion, or try out Pizza bread if you like your Pizza extra crispy
2. Put on the thin sliced Mozzarella first before you put on the tomato puree because the Mozzarella stops the puree from making the dough/bread "wet"
3. Then the tomato puree
4. Then thin sliced ham/sausage
5. Then I like to put on olives and sardines
6. Bake your delicious master piece in the oven from 180-200° Celsius for about 20-25 minutes to your liking, or if you have a Pizza stone oven, your even better of.
7. Et voilá , you just made yourself a delicious and healthy Pizza

This, oven master race ftw!

 

Also I can't eat a full large pizza because I'm not a fat fuck

never had pizza because i dont like cheese, would like to have one if theres alternative.

im somewhat a stigma in the family because i like food from all parts of the world instead of the same old crap they've been eating for millenia. but whenever i talk about how delicious maguro sushi is or how spanish ham is so good the only way to enjoy it is thin slice with fine wine, they look at me in a way akin to looking at a traffic accident.

Have... have you actually ever tried pizza w/ cheese though?

 

You might dislike cheese but find you love it on pizza.

It's not like they just throw slices of American cheese on it...just spend the $2 it costs for a single slice sometime and give it a shot.

If you use proper passata you don't have to worry about wet dough. I'd also crank the heat in your oven as hot as possible since real pizzaiolo generally have custom pizza ovens that reach close to 1000°. I find the pizza comes out much nicer that way and it takes way less than half an hour.

 

 

Also make sure you are using proper bufala and tear it by hand yourself. Don't buy the preshredded crud!

[Jtalk4456]

i'm not that fancy, i literally drip a few drops of water on the bottom of the crust before tossing it in the microwave

[ThatBlockishWay]

[aezakmi]

yah. I just keep a pizza stone in my oven most of the time. Slap it on there. Don't even have to preheat, just get it warm.

You lost me right then and there.

Reheating pizza, WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Craziness

Absolute Craziness

 

Pizza is the best cold, chased with tall cans of ice cold kronenbourg 1664 beer

[Phentos]

Any time I have leftover pizza I always eat it cold and try to have it all gone within 2 days, otherwise it gets stale and hard.
