This method takes a little bit of time, but it’s ultimately not a lot of work (or clean-up), so it’s totally worth it. Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Once it’s up to temp—be patient!—pop the tray into the oven for a few minutes. Then, throw the pizza onto the hot tray. This process ensures that the bottom of the pie gets nice and crispy as the top gets melty. After about 10 or 15 minutes, you’ve got a fresh slice.

How To Reheat Pizza On The Stove
There are two different approaches when it comes to reheating pizza on the stove: the efficient method and the low and slow method. For the former, warm up a pan over medium heat and add your slice. It should warm most of the way through in just a couple minutes. To ensure that the cheese is nice and melty, add a few drops of water to the pan (far away from the crust) and cover it with a lid. As the water heats up, it’ll steam the top of the pie and give you that amazing cheese pull.
The low and slow method is for people who are willing to wait a couple minutes for an extra crispy crust. Your secret weapon is a cast iron pan—it conducts and retains heat especially well, which is key for avoiding a soggy bottom. You can add your pie directly to the pan and heat it, uncovered, over medium low heat. And all you have to do is wait. Depending on the strength of your stove, this process will take between 7-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese starts to melt and bubble. By that point, your crust will be warmed and likely even crispier than it was when it was fresh
