Best way to reheat take-out pizza?

[Electrode]

Yesterday I picked up a deep dish cheese pizza from Domino's. I never got around to eating it until today. I tried heating 2 pieces in the microwave, but it did not come out very well.
I'm thinking that the best thing to do would be to heat it up in the oven. I know that the boxes from some pizza place (Little Ceasers I think) give a suggested time and temperature. Does anyone have one handy? Any other reccommendations?

475 for 10 minutes.

Steam cook it.

You could always eat it cold... although I personally prefer to warm up thicker pizzas.

That's how I'd do it.

Normally...I just eat pizza cold -- I like it best that way.

Pizza Hut says 350 for 5-10 min. For a deep dish, I'd go 10-15 min.

I had some regular crust dominos last week - what crap. It actually tasted better cold than hot. I remember the cheese being much better back in the day.

I'm not a fan of dominos or pizza hut.

Papa john's is pretty good.

Run your fingers under the water faucet and get them wet. Rub some water along the crust of the pizza and lightly dampen it. Put it in a ziplock baggie and close it up. Put it in a microwave and heat it on medium power for about a minute and a half(every microwave cooks different, so adjust accordingly)

This has been the best way that I've learned how to keep the crust from turning into concrete.

I've always had pretty good luck just putting the slices right on the rack in the oven. Set it for around 350 or so, and just keep an eye on it. It's actually better than fresh pizza. The cheese and everything remelts, plus, the crust crisps up. MMMMMMMM

i like putting the pizza in the microwave for about a minute or two, then take it out warm and transfer it to a toaster over to make the crust crunchy.

oven or toaster oven is the only way to go. microwave? :disgust:

What I did: In the oven at 350 for 12 minutes
The result: Good!

I stick my pizza in the oven at 400-425 and just let it cook until it looks hot. I never time it.

Pizza from the microwave is just nasty.

amish

Microwave, 2-3 on high, with a cup of water (in a microwaveable cup, before you injure yourself or break something) in there with it.

Or oven, 475 for 5-7 minutes. Water important unless you like dry pizza. Bleah.

I made a tombstone cheeseburger pizza last night and it was the nastlies thing I ever tasted. I even tired to eat it cold this morning but it was still nasty.

The best way to reheat take-out pizza is to not reheat it at all.. they're always better cold anyways... reheat my ass...

 

[QTPie]

wow, too many ways to cook, too little pizza, hehe...

I regularly microwave mine, but you have to do it correctly so that it doesn't turn into a rock. The best way is to put it on for 15-20 second intervals. This seems to allow for a slower cooking time and doesn't let the pizza get too hot which is what turns the crust hard. Try putting it in for about 20 seconds. Open the oven to let the heat escape and check it. Put it back in for another 15-20 seconds. Repeat. Keep doing this in short bursts until the pizza is the appropriate temperature. Never leave it for 1 minute or more without giving it some breathing time. If you do that, it will basically turn it into a steaming hot mess that will be inedible.
