I've had leftover pizza in my fridge for a day. I'm tired of it, but don't want to throw it all away. What's the best way to freeze it? I don't have a vacuum seal. And, when I decide to eat it, what's the best way to thaw and reheat it? Should I let the pizza thaw out first or is it better to heat it up while it's frozen? Is it better to heat it up in the microwave or the oven?Thanks!|||Leftover Pizza is great...I actually buy one larger than needed so I will have some left. I simply wrap each slice or seperate them with waxed paper, and store in the freezer in large zip-lock type plastic bags. Even the plastic bags your groceries come home in are fine, since you are wrapping the pizza first. Take out of freezer, either allow to thaw or put frozen in your oven (I have a toaster oven) and heat.. I don't recommend the microwave, it tends to make the crust hard. I sometimes drizzle a little olive oil over before heating or add another topping, like leftover sauteed onion or broccoli or some bacon, ham or pepperoni . Trust me, it's just as good reheated!|||You slice the leftover pizza, put it in a zip bag and freeze it. It keeps a long time. Not necessary to thaw. Just put a slice or two in a plate and microwave. But, check it every couple of minutes, because it heats up faster than you can imagine.
I eat it for breakfast all the time.|||you'll want to stick a few slices in a ziplock bag. i wouldnt keep them any more than 3-5 days.
when you are ready to eat it, you can do it one of two ways.
the best way to do it is to preheat your oven to about 350 degrees. bake the slices of pizza for about 5 minutes (or until the cheese starts boiling).
if you cant do it that way, or dont have the time, microwave the slices for 30-60 seconds (again, until the cheese is boiling). this way is not preferred because while it heats up the pizza, it changes the texture.
enjoy!|||Do you really want to? Pizza taste horrible coming from the freezer. I know been there done that|||to freeze it, just put it in a plate and drop it in the freezer!
The tricky part is to reheat it. To reheat it, you have to be carefully or else your pizza will become soggy or too soft. so the best solution will be to put it in a metallic plate and put it into the oven or just put it into the oven without the plate if the pizza is not too soft, the microwave will make it soggy! and then when it is all crunchy, take it out of the fire and put it on a wooden plate so that the bottom do not get wet from the humidity... now you can eat it....!!!
enjoy!|||wrap in seran wrap then put in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. to reheat: let pizza thaw on counter wrapped in paper towel (loosely. this will absob any condensation preventing it from sitting on the pizza dough and making it soggy). once the pizza is room temperature: pop it in an oven that's been preheated to 350. make sure the oven is already hot when pizza goes in. it'll be crispy and fantastic. enjoy.
