Did you know that you can reheat Little Caesar’s pizza and make it taste like it’s fresh out of the oven? Keep reading to learn how to make your reheated Little Caesars pizza taste just as mouthwatering as it did the first time around.
How to Reheat Little Caesars Pizza
In the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the pizza slices on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
In a Skillet
Start by heating a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Place the pizza slice(s) in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt and the crust is crispy.
In the Microwave
Although not the ideal method for retaining a crispy crust, the microwave provides a quick and easy way to reheat pizza. Put the pizza slices on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30-45 seconds on high power. To avoid a soggy crust, put a microwave-safe glass of water in the microwave with the pizza. The water will absorb some of the microwave’s power, preventing the crust from becoming too soft.
Pro Tip: To retain the best flavor, try lightly drizzling some olive oil onto the crust and/or adding a sprinkle of grated parmesan on top before reheating your pizza.
Reheating Tips
Melty Cheese
To ensure melty cheese on your reheated Little Caesars pizza, it’s important to heat your pizza evenly. When using the oven method, the cheese should melt nicely as the pizza warms up. Just be sure not to overcook it to avoid dried-out cheese.
If you’re using a skillet, place a lid on the pan to create steam, which helps the cheese melt evenly. Once the crust is crispy, remove the lid and let the pizza cook for another 1-2 minutes to achieve the perfect meltiness.
Topping Freshness
To maintain topping freshness during the reheating process, be mindful of the cooking time. Overcooking will cause toppings to lose their original texture and taste. When using the oven or toaster oven method, keep a close watch as the pizza reaches its desired crispiness.
If reheating in a skillet, consider using a small amount of water (about a tablespoon) to create steam. Adding the water and covering the pan will encourage the cheese to melt faster and help keep the toppings moist and fresh. Once the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet to avoid overcooking the toppings.
