February 21, 201214 yr If it's a thin crust with just meat and cheese, cold all the way. If it's thick with peppers/onions/other vegetables, gotta have it warm (and not reheated).
February 21, 201214 yr Author I will sometimes heat up a deepdish in the oven. But never, ever, will pizza hit the microwave. I usually will just eat it cold.
February 21, 201214 yr If it's something cheap like Dominos it goes in the microwave or gets eaten cold. Anything better and I put it in the oven.

Put a pan on the stove on medium heat. You don't need any oil. Place the pizza in and put a aluminum foil 'dome' over the top. The pan will make the crust crispy and the dome will warm up the cheese and toppings.
February 21, 201214 yr You people are way too f***ing picky. Throw it in the microwave no matter what kind it is.

February 21, 201214 yr I barely use the microwave for anything except defrosting. I generally reheat pizza in the oven.
February 21, 201214 yr Although I can, and have, eaten cold pizza, I prefer it reheated. I'll usually just toss it in the microwave, but I'll admit it's better reheated in the oven.

February 22, 201214 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) Cold pizza is gross and should be outlawed. We agree? Weird. I'm convinced the toaster oven was put on this planet for the purpose of reheating pizza quickly.
February 22, 201214 yr Thin crust from places like Giordano's Lou Malnati's etc. is typically eaten cold unless it's too cold- I'll throw it in the microwave for under 10 seconds if that's the case. If it's from Pizza Hut, Costco, Sarpino's etc. it will get 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Stuffed Pizza is usually heated until it's lukewarm. If it's overheated the cheese starts to melt out of the sides and that's not good. The texture of the cheese becomes rubbery. I would rather eat it cold than overheated. If for some reason there is leftovers from a frozen pizza, I won't eat it.
February 22, 201214 yr I actually love cold pizza for thin crust, deep dish I just toss in the microwave.

February 23, 201214 yr I never even thought about reheating pizza in the oven, if its leftovers its definitely either eaten cold or microwave...

Try it once, put it on a baking sheet with aluminum foil under the pizza. You'll never use a microwave again.
February 23, 201214 yr I can't do microwave pizza - I'm a texture guy. If you like crispy crust AND don't have a toaster oven - heat it on the stovetop. Put the pizza in a pan w/ a cover on it, turn the burner on low for about 10 minutes. The steam melts the cheese w/o the crust getting soggy. Perfection.
