Who knew reheating pizza could be such a hot topic?
(Pun intended.)
RELATED STORIES
See, TikTok user @aldentediva, aka Tara, decided to share one of her favorite pizza hacks with TikTok. And in turn, TikTok went a little insane in the comments section. You know how it is over there.
Let’s check it out!
It starts off pretty innocent.
“The best way — and really the only way — to reheat a slice of pizza: Put your pizza down on a hot pan.”
Alright, so far, so good. I can definitely get behind putting pizza on a pan. I have no notes.
Then, add…water.
“Just when you see it coming back to life a little bit like that, you’re gonna take some water — you don’t need a ton, just a little bit — and put it down in the pan.”
Sorry, you do what now?
Hard pass.
“Then, pop a lid on top. The steam is going to perfectly melt that cheese, and it’s going to just as good as it did when it was delivered.
Anybody that’s actually given this a try knows that it’s the best way to do it.”
BESTIE???
Girl, what? Never in my LIFE would it occur to me to put water anywhere near my pizza.
I was so horrified by this that I showed this hack to my wife. And do you know what she said to me? She said it made sense. Betrayal.
Other commenters agreed with me.
No, you really don’t understand: this comment had me laughing out loud. You know an entire generation is going through it when the top comment involves eating cold pizza and being depressed.
Actually, two generations. Millennials and Gen Z have the same humor.
Some people said it would be soggy.
Which I definitely thought it would be, until my very patient wife explained that water immediately evaporates on a hot pan, and thus the water would not touch the pizza.
I feel like it’s very obvious I don’t cook right now.
Some had some alternate reheating suggestions.
See, this is my go-to solution. Pop that thing in the air fryer and watch that cheese bubble.
Luckily, Tara agreed. At least we can have harmony about pizza reheating. In today’s world, I’m calling that a win.
This guy speaks for me.
I mean, exactly. If I’m getting pizza, I’m eating the whole damn pizza. It never hits as good the next day and we all know it.
I have reheated a slice or two in my day, but it’s just not the same.

What do you think of this hack? Would you try it, or are you a cold pizza purist? Let me know!
