If it's a microwave-able one

If you're talking leftovers, yes, but I always sprinkle a little water on first.

Most frozen pizzas can be microwaved, it should have directions on the package.

Yes, I do it all of the time.

yep i do its better stays soft

yes you can do that
but the dough won't be as crusty
hmmm microwave kills the quality of a pizza
other than that its safe to do :)

Maybe thats what the smell is!lol

Yuk! In my opinion no!
I imagine it would go very soft and floppy, it would get cooked though. It's definately best to oven cook as it will make it nice and toasty and crispy.

Of course! I do it all the time, just don't overheat it.

Yes,. Have you had chicago town pizzas?

Of course it is. Better if it is prebaked which most if not all frozen ones are. Be careful of the refrigerated ones you buy in the grocery store because some of them have raw meat on top.
If your talking about reheating one from the pizza parlor then that's ok too. Note the quality of the bread or crust will suffer in the microwave because a conventional oven uses dry heat.

yeah u can but never tastes right always flopy and wet and dont crisp

Is it leftover pizza? If so, you CAN...but I think it gets soggy. I prefer to throw it in the over to re-heat pizza...or eat it cold!

Well for me left overs I love cold just like I do hot, however, you can put in mic but only for a few seconds. (like 10-20 sec)

Try cutting it into smaller pieces and putting it in a toaster.

Yes,some pizzas hav microwave instructions on the box.If its a one u got ready made from the pizza shop & ur wanting to re-heat it then yes,iv done this many times with pizza iv bought the night b4 & iv re-heated it the next day 4 my dinner.The main thing is how long its been there & where u kept it in between.I would chuck it 24hrs after buying it.If u put it in the fridge until u want to eat the rest then it will keep longer.So if u buy it on a night put it in the fridge & re-heat & eat by the following night.Pizza doesnt take long to reheat,only about1-2mins.Watch for steam coming off it wen its in the microwave.U could also re-heat in the oven.That would keep the texture better.Depending on the pizza sometimes the microwave makes them a bit soggy.The oven reheats the best.

no it will be discussing

You can. Quality will not be the same.

As far as safety goes, anything heated or cooked in a microwave needs to be heated to 20 degrees F higher than standard safety temperature (typically 165) and is required to rest for 2 minutes after that as well.

Left over pizza yes frozen or fresh or chilled pizza no unless it says otherwise on the packet or your microwave has a setting just for pizza, pizza is always best oven cooked

Yes you can,but Pizza always tastes better baked.

If its already cooked then this is fine. If its not cooked then i would check the instructions on the packet to see if you can. I usually defrost my pizzas in the microwave, then cook them in the oven. You can cook most things in the microwave these days so it will probably be fine....just make sure its hot all the way through and completly cooked ! Enjoy your pizza :)

it will become very soggy

no if you put it in a microwave its gonna blow up the microwave and burn your house down..
