What's the best way to freeze, thaw and reheat leftover pizza?
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!
