Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store leftover pizza?

Store your leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can either microwave it to heat it up, pop it in the oven for a few minutes, air fry it or one of my favorite ways reheat it on the stove in a pan with the lid on to allow the cheese to get all melty.
