For longer storage, freeze your pizza slices wrapped tightly in cling film then foil. When ready to eat, let it thaw a bit, then reheat in a skillet or oven for best crust results.

If youre in a rush, zap slices quickly in the microwave but remember this might soften the crust more than oven reheating.
