To reheat pizza in the oven and get a crispy crust with melted cheese, follow these steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure the oven is fully heated before putting the pizza in to ensure even reheating
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the empty baking sheet in the oven while it preheats so it gets hot
- Place the pizza slices on the hot baking sheet carefully once the oven is preheated. The hot tray helps crisp the bottom of the crust as the pizza reheats
- Bake for about 7 to 12 minutes , depending on the thickness of the crust and toppings. Check occasionally to avoid burning. The pizza is ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crisp
- Remove and enjoy once the pizza is hot and crispy. If the crust is not crispy enough, you can put it back in the oven for a few more minutes
This method revives leftover pizza close to its fresh taste and texture without drying it out
