Heating Instructions Detroit Style Pizza

A few tips independent of the heating method:

  • Defrost pizza on counter if you have time
  • The pizza is already fully baked, so you only need to warm it up and re-crisp the crust
  • Keep the heating as short as possible to avoid too much browning of the cheese, it will dry it out
  • If the pizza is still cold inside and the cheese very dark, you can loosely tent the pizza with aluminum foil
  • Every oven is different, adjust times and temperatures where necessary
    • If the pizza burns, turn down the temperature and/or lower the rack position (if the top burns)
    • If the pizza is cold in the middle, extend the time. In my experience if the outside is hot and the inside is still cold but not frozen, it only takes a few more minutes to heat up throughout
