For the love of leftovers — Domino's Newsroom

At Domino’s, we’re big believers in balance. Sometimes you can eat [more like ravenously devour] a whole pizza, garlic bread and a drink, while other times, after a couple of slices, you do your future self a solid and save the rest for leftovers.

The savvy slice savers out there know that even pizza straight from the fridge the next morning is worth giving your past self a high-five for. But for the discerning pizzas connoisseurs among us, we’re here to help you up your reheat game to give your tastebuds the follow-up pizza experience they truly deserve.

As always, our aim is to give you an amazing pizza experience, so for the love of leftovers we have investigated the best ways to give you a second run at that pizza which may even rival the fresh piping hot perfection itself.

Crust a la Churro

Never ones to shy away from a creative cooking solution, this culinary sensation originates from the Domino’s Japan team. Simply remove all crusts from your leftover slices, fry them up in a butter doused pan and add icing sugar. Sweet, salty, doughy deliciousness.

Microwave magic

For those feeling next level hangry, who are keen to get stuck into their leftovers but want to step it up from the fridge, this hack goes down as the easiest (but not necessarily the most reliable) in history. To prevent a soggy slice, add a half full cup of water to the microwave with your pizza and heat for around 30 seconds. Crispiness not guaranteed, but worth a shot.

Praying for a crispy crust with every rotation!

Toasted Slice Sandwich

Is it a sandwich, is it a slice? Meeting somewhere in the cheesy middle, this hack takes care of two slices in one reheat. Layer two slices, toppings facing inwards and place in a sandwich press or waffle iron for crunchy crust on the outside and melted cheese and toppings on the inside. Need we say more?

Those square waffle pockets look suspiciously sauce shaped to us.

Apply those appliances

If you’re simply looking to re-live the first time around with your piping hot pizza, reheating your slice in an oven, hot pan or air fryer is your best bet. Resulting in a crispy base, fluffy dough and melted cheese, patience and those appliances are going to get you closest to that fresh pizza feeling.

Toppings Omelette

For anyone who has not quite come around to legitimising pizza as a breakfast food, this may just change your mind! Crack a couple of eggs and scrape your leftover toppings into an omelette. Because eggs = breakfast, and for anyone who tells you differently, you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. Just don’t be too quick to ditch the crust!

Dippy crust

When ordering your pizza and you know you’re likely to have leftovers, add a dipping sauce to your cart. Now you can put any leftover crust to good use the next day by breaking them off for dip sticks with that already pre-ordered dipping sauce. And if you’ve already made a toppings omelette, cut up all your remaining crust, reheat and you’ll have even more dough dippers!

We know nothing quite lives up to a piping hot delivered safely to your front door, but almost fresh, reheated, sometimes reimagined pizza is definitely a close second.
