Use This Pro Trick To Save Limp Delivery Pizza

Reviving limp delivery pizza can be a simple task with a few effective tricks. Start by preheating your oven to around 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While waiting, place a baking sheet inside to heat up as well, ensuring it becomes a suitable surface for crisping up the pizza. Once the oven and tray are hot, place the pizza directly on the heated sheet. This method helps to restore some of the crust's original crispness by allowing the bottom to reheat quickly and evenly. If you prefer using a stovetop, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then place a slice in the pan. Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese while maintaining moisture. This method is excellent for achieving a crisp bottom without drying out the toppings. Adding a few drops of water to the pan before covering can create steam, which aids in this process. Both techniques restore the flavors and textures of your pizza, making it taste just as good, if not better, than when it was first delivered. This approach ensures you enjoy every bite without compromising on quality, providing a quick and easy solution to limp pizza woes.

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.
