There is nothing worse than biting into a limp, soggy slice of reheated pizza. The good news is that with the right technique, your leftover Mad Pizza slices can taste nearly as perfect as they did fresh out of our oven.
The Skillet Method (Our Favorite)
Place your slice in a cold non-stick skillet and set it on medium-low heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let it warm for about five to seven minutes. The low heat re-crisps the bottom crust while the trapped steam melts the hand-shredded mozzarella on top. This method works especially well with our Chicago thin-crust style because the thinner base gets perfectly crispy without burning.
The Oven Method
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place slices directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and heat for eight to ten minutes. This method is ideal when you are reheating multiple slices at once, like after a big order from Mad Pizza for game night.
The Microwave Rescue
If the microwave is your only option, place a microwave-safe cup of water next to your plate. The water absorbs some of the microwave energy and helps prevent the crust from turning chewy. Heat in 30-second intervals until warm.
What to Avoid
Never reheat pizza at high temperatures for short bursts. This creates an uneven result with scalding cheese and a cold center. Patience is the key to great reheated pizza.
Of course, the best pizza needs no reheating at all. Order fresh Chicago thin-crust from Mad Pizza at (754) 275-8466 and enjoy it straight from our kitchen. Our 4-generation sauce recipe and hand-shredded mozzarella deliver a flavor that is worth savoring the moment it arrives at your door.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to reheat thin-crust pizza?
The skillet method works best for thin-crust pizza. Place the slice in a cold skillet on medium-low heat, cover with a lid, and heat for five to seven minutes until the bottom is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Can you reheat pizza in an air fryer?
Yes, an air fryer works great. Set it to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for three to four minutes. The circulating hot air re-crisps the crust nicely.
How long does leftover pizza stay good in the fridge?
Leftover pizza stays safe to eat for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best quality, reheat within two days.
