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
