These methods bring back a crisp base and bubbling cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best: a frying pan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Put the slices in a cold, dry non-stick or cast-iron pan and set it over medium heat.<\/li>\n\n<li>After two to three minutes, when the base is crisp, add a few drops of water to the pan, away from the pizza, and cover with a lid.<\/li>\n\n<li>Leave it for another minute. The steam melts the cheese while the base stays crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For a whole pizza: the oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat the oven to about 220 \u00b0C (425 \u00b0F) with a baking tray inside.<\/li>\n\n<li>Put the pizza on the hot tray and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edge is crisp.<\/li>\n\n<li>Lay a sheet of foil loosely on top if the toppings start to brown too quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick: the air fryer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two or three slices fit in most air fryers. Heat at about 180 \u00b0C (350 \u00b0F) for 3 to 4 minutes and check halfway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing leftovers safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Put leftover pizza in the fridge within two hours of delivery or serving.<\/li>\n\n<li>Keep it in an airtight box or wrapped well, and eat it within three to four days.<\/li>\n\n<li>Reheat it until it is steaming hot all the way through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ordering for later? Ask us to leave the pizza uncut so it reheats more evenly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skip the microwave.
