I am wondering what is the best way to reheat last night's leftover pizza so that the crust does not get crispy or hard. I tried microwaving it, as well as putting it in the oven, but the crust ends up hard or tough. Are there any secrets to reheating cold pizza?

Envelop it in a loose sheath of aluminum foil for the first few minutes in the oven (use about 375 degrees), then remove the foil for the last 2-3 minutes to re-crisp the crust. The hardness is caused by the crust drying out in the fridge, when stored in the original box. To prevent that, place 1-2 slices at a time in large ziplock bags and refrigerate.

I spent years tryijng to figure this out. The crust is either soggy or too hard. I don't like to mention a product name if they're not going to pay me, but in this case I have to. Pampered Chef...pizza stone. For reheating pizza, ff, etc. As fresh as fresh. www.pamperedchef.com

I put mine in a hot skillet on a stove for a couple minutes. The crust turns out just like fresh pizza.

This is surefire:
Mist water onto the bottom and dry areas of the crust and microwave as usual.
This makes it almost like it was fresh.

I find microwaving does just fine.....& I don't like microwaving a whole lot of food products. Do it just enough to heat it or it will toughen the crust not just make it soft & warm as you want it. Maybe covering it in plastic wrap could help with a few drops of water to help it steam it but have'nt found it necessary.

THE VERY BEST WAY IS THE OBVIOUS HEAT YOUR OVEN 350 PLACE PIZZA ON COOKIE SHEET OR FOR BEST RESULTS ALUMINA HEATS BEST TILL CHEESE IS MELTED 8 TO 10 MIN DEPENDING ON OVEN BOTTOM LINE OVEN HAS TO ALREADY BE HOT WHEN PIZZA GOES IN

Microwave it while wrapped in a paper towel for about 20 seconds, then put it in the toaster until it's good for you.

Heat is on a lower wattage. You may have to re-heat it longer.
