I ordered way too much pizza for my son's birthday party.
I can't eat anymore. The kid can't eat anymore. Maybe I could convince the dogs to eats some, but they may be sick of it by now, too. Can I wrap it in tinfoil and freeze it for later?

2. Of course you can freeze it
I just wrap in foil and pop in the freezer. However, don't over look the fact that cold Pizza is the best breakfast ever. Keep a few slices out of the freezer for tomorrow morning.

3. "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" tip - I swear by it:
To reheat pizza, put it in a frying pan. That crisps the crust so instead of the soggy mess that comes out of the microwave, you have something that's darn close to fresh hot pizza.

(Although if you're starting with frozen, you might want to defrost it first in the wave, then fry it for a minute or two.)

4. What a great idea
I never thought about that. It makes perfect sense. The frying pan (with no grease in it obviously) mimics the hearth on which the pizza was originally baked. I'd bet a cover on the pan would help to bring the toppings back, too. Like a mini stove top oven.

Sorta like the way places serve pizza by the slice .... cold pizza on foil and into the oven for a minute or three.

5. I've been doing that forever
It tastes great that way. Anything bready or doughy in the microwave is a nightmare.

Sometimes for breakfast I throw a slice in the frying pan and when the bottom is hot I crack an egg on top and put it under the broiler.

Breakfast of champions.

8. I double wrap it.
First in plastic wrap, then in foil.

I have eaten it up to 3 months later & it was still good.
