Flavor--tastes like rubber to me. Texture is rubbery as well.


I've found that with Papa John's pizza you can significantly improve the texture and flavour by letting it cool then heating it in a frying pan with a lid.


Cold pizza reheated in a Cast Iron Skillet with just a dash of olive oil is the best thing in the world.


I used to do that, but I've started using a toaster oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 or 7 minutes) now that I have one.

The skillet (understandably) doesn't heat the top of the pizza that much. The toaster oven doesn't have that problem.


skillet is for crisping up the bottom, add a lid or a circle of aluminium foil to get a nice bubbly cheese top


Pan-frying was the original Neopolitan way to make pizza. Learned that from an Italian work-colleague whose family back home still made them that way.


That's really interesting because I just discovered this the other day. I don't have an oven (living in Japan). I've got a frying pan and a fish grill. Heat up a frying pan with a lid on. Put in the pizza. Wait a couple of minutes (doesn't take long). Finish it under the grill. It's surprisingly good!
