    If you have a stove I can definitely recommend heating your pizza in a dry (with no oil) frying pan. Set the temperature medium-low and heat a slice or two at a time for a few minutes. It comes out like it was freshly cooked.

      I learned this hack shortly before being diagnosed with celiac and lactose intolerance haha, after a lifetime of eating cold slices

      I can confirm it works well, though

        Oof, that sucks. It seems like the universe really does enjoy a cruel prank sometimes. I hope you’ve found something equally enjoyable to fill the pizza shaped hole in your meals.

        Veggie crusts are actually pretty good nowadays. Unfortunately, lactose-free cheese is not.

        But aren’t parmesan and Gouda very low in lactose, because they can be quite old?

      I finally got around to trying this. I don’t see the point. By the time the cheese was re-melted, the crust turned into a hard cracker and it took ten times longer than the microwave. It’s quite possible I had the stove up too high (it’s an electric stove and I had it on 4/10), but I’d still say the point goes to the microwave for being quicker and having greater margin for error.

        Hmmm, it’s hard to debug pizza remotely, but maybe the heat wasn’t high enough, it normally only takes a minute or two to heat through and cooking it for longer probably would make the base go hard.

        Thanks for reporting bavk though, and I’m sorry you had a suboptimal pizza result.
