The best way to reheat pizza in the oven is to preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pizza on a baking sheet or directly on a pizza stone. Bake the pizza for about 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is crispy. For extra melted cheese, you can turn on the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Reheating Temperature and Time
- Ideal oven temperature: 375°F (190°C)
- Reheating time: 10 to 12 minutes
- For softer crust: lower temperature to 350°F (175°C) and reheat for 12 to 15 minutes
- For crispier crust: keep 375°F and reheat around 8 to 10 minutes.
Tips for Reheating Pizza in Oven
- Use a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup or place directly on a pizza stone.
- Optionally, sprinkle a few drops of water on the pizza or place a small oven-safe bowl of water inside the oven to keep the crust from drying out.
- Check the pizza periodically to avoid burning and ensure even reheating.
This method restores the crispy crust and melty cheese, closely resembling fresh pizza texture and flavor.
