Use This Pro Trick To Save Limp Delivery Pizza

How to reheat pizza at home to make it deliciously crisp

When it comes to reheating pizza, there are several methods you can explore. First and foremost, you can't go wrong with the traditional oven method. Pizzeria owner Nicole Bean recommends placing a slightly soggy pizza on a steel plate or pizza stone and baking it until it reaches the desired crispiness. (And don't forget to add a spoonful of water while reheating to ensure the cheese remains perfectly gooey and tasty.) If you're looking to try something different, consider using the stovetop. "[Heat] a skillet with an ice cube in the pan and then [cover] that skillet with a pot lid," advises Bean. Use a medium to high heat setting for optimal results, and continue heating the pizza until the ice cube has completely evaporated. This technique should yield a few crispy slices in the pan.

While it would be great to enjoy a pizza fresh from the box, the reality is that keeping a pizza crisp during transit can be challenging, even with ordering hacks to avoid a soggy pie. However, with these tips from Bean, you can still savor a delicious delivery pizza with minimal effort. Try one of her reheating methods the next time you order out. And remember, some issues simply can't be resolved, so be vigilant for red flags at pizza shops to identify which places to steer clear of.
