How To…Reheat Pizza

March 20, 2017 by Jen 8 Comments

How to reheat leftover pizza….well, put it in the microwave right??  Yes, that totally works or you could try it the fire station way.  Once you do you will never go back!! 

So the fire station way of reheating pizza involves cast iron.  I have learned that most things that are cooked or prepared at the fire station involve cast iron…unless they are grilling that is. 🙂  Start by heating up your cast iron skillet over medium heat.  I like to use my 15 inch cast iron skillet so I can heat up several pieces of pizza at a time.  You can find the one I use here on Amazon.

While your skillet is heating up go ahead and put your pizza on a plate and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how much pizza you have.  This is done just to make it so your pizza is not cold on top anymore.  

Then place your pizza on your heated cast iron skillet to finish your reheating and wait for the magic to happen!  

Just make sure you keep and eye on them so they don’t burn.  I keep checking the pizza and moving them around with my spatula.  When your pizza starts to get slightly darker and crisp up on the bottom they are done!  

And there you have it!  No more soggy reheated microwave pizza.  Just pizza that tastes as good as the first night you ate it.  You’re welcome.

Then for tips on how to clean your cast iron check out my post here!

    Oh Jen, a post about pizza? Yes please! I don’t know anything about skillet cooking – do you put oil in the bottom like a normal frypan or does that make the pizza soggy? xx

      Hi Kate! I actually don’t spray my cast iron pan again before reheating the pizza. I did a post about how to clean a cast iron skillet. You can find it here: http://afiremanswife.com/2017/02/17/how-to-clean-your-cast-iron-skillet-or-cookware/ Because I spray the pan and wipe it out at the end of cleaning it, it is all ready to go the next time I need it! I just put the pizza right on the pan and it will crisp up on the bottom really nicely. Just watch it so it doesn’t burn!

    Jen – I honestly never would have in a million years thought about reheating pizza in a cast iron pan. Such a great idea and thanks for linking up with #TuneInThursday this week. Sorry for my delay in stopping by, it has been a busy week 🙂
