Fresh pizza from your local pizzeria is an unforgettably delicious experience, but part of what makes it so special is that one pie can feed multiple people for several days. If you want to reheat your pie, you should take a few steps to make sure that your leftovers taste great. Consider these three ideas—courtesy of Ozark Mountain Pizza in Branson, MO—the next time you reheat your pizza.

Enjoy Delicious Pizza Leftovers With These 3 Tips

1. Refrigerate the Right Way

Proper refrigeration is key to great-tasting leftover pizza. Without it, you will lose those rich flavors you enjoyed on the first day. Get your pizza in the fridge within two hours of receiving it, but don’t just leave it in the box. Instead, place a paper towel on a plate, stacking up to four slices on top of each other with more paper towels in between each slice. Then wrap the stacked slices and paper towels in plastic. Open the leftovers up when you’re ready to reheat them.

2. Choose Your Method of Reheating Carefully

Microwaving your pizza may be an easy way to reheat it, but it won’t come close to the original mouthwatering flavors you first experienced at the pizzeria. If maintaining flavor is your top priority, consider baking your leftover pie or putting it in a skillet. You could even throw it on the grill!

3. Don’t Wait Too Long to Reheat

All good things come to an end, and that includes leftover pizza. Assuming you refrigerated yours in a timely manner, it should be safe to eat for around four days. Past that point, it’s best to cut your losses and throw away the old pie
