The Best Way to Reheat Costco Pizza in the Oven
If you have a little extra time, the oven is hands down the best way to reheat Costco pizza. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place the slices directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Heat for around eight to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust becomes crisp again.
This method evenly warms the toppings while helping the base regain some of its original texture. It works especially well if you're reheating several slices at once.
How to Reheat Costco Pizza on the Stovetop
The stovetop method has become a favorite among pizza lovers because it creates a crispy crust without drying out the toppings.
Place a slice in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for two to three minutes. Add a few drops of water to the side of the pan, away from the pizza, and cover with a lid for another minute or two. The steam melts the cheese while the pan crisps the bottom of the crust. Many people swear this method produces the best leftover pizza.
Can You Microwave Costco Pizza?
You can microwave Costco pizza, but it should be your last resort. Heat the slice for 30 to 45 seconds at a time until warmed through. To avoid a chewy crust, place a microwave-safe cup containing a small amount of water next to the pizza while reheating.
Although it won't recreate that fresh-from-the-food-court taste, it can work when you're short on time.
