Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 8–10 minutes to maintain a crisp crust. You can also reheat slices in a skillet over medium heat with a lid on to melt the cheese evenly. Freeze tightly wrapped slices for up to 2 months and reheat from frozen in the oven.
