Notes
To store leftover pizza, place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pizza slices on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat it in an air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat the pizza for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the crust soggy.
