There’s nothing quite like the taste of a fresh-from-the-oven pizza. But what if you could enjoy that same crispy crust and gooey cheese at home within minutes? That’s the beauty of half-baked pizza.
When you order a half-baked pizza from Amici’s, you get a head start on the perfect slice. It’s par-baked to lock in flavor and freshness, so all you have to do is finish it in your own oven for a just-out-of-the-pizzeria experience. But to get the best results, proper storage and reheating are essential. Here’s how to make every bite as delicious as the first.
The Right Way to Store Half-Baked Pizza
Half-baked pizza is designed to be finished at home and eaten immediately. So if you are planning to stock up on our half-baked pizza and enjoy it later, proper storage ensures the dough, sauce, and cheese stay fresh.
Refrigerating Half-Baked Pizza (Short-Term Storage)
If you plan to finish your pizza within the next few days:
Let it cool slightly before storing.
Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to three days.
Amici’s half-baked pizzas are crafted with high-quality ingredients that hold up well in the fridge, maintaining the texture and flavor.
Freezing Half-Baked Pizza (Long-Term Storage)
Want to save your pizza for later? Freezing is your best option.
Wrap the pizza in aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag.
Store them in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
Store for up to two months.
The beauty of Amici’s half-baked pizzas is that they reheat beautifully, even after freezing, thanks to our fresh dough and premium toppings.
Reheating for the Perfect Slice
Reheating half-baked pizza isn’t just about making it hot again—it’s about finishing the cooking process the right way.
Oven Method (Best for Authentic Taste)
If you want your pizza to taste just like it came straight from Amici’s oven, this is the way to go.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Place the pizza directly on the rack, a preheated pizza stone, or a baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Air Fryer Method (Quick and Crispy)
For a faster option that still delivers on texture:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pizza in a single layer.
Heat for 3-5 minutes until crisp and hot.
Stovetop Method (For a Crispier Crust)
This is a great alternative if you don’t want to turn on the oven.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the pizza in the pan and cover with a lid.
Cook for 5-6 minutes, adding a small splash of water to the pan if needed to rehydrate the cheese.
Pro Tips for Maximum Flavor
If you are in the mood to experiment further with your pizza, you can:
Add Fresh Toppings: Enhance the flavors by sprinkling on extra cheese, fresh basil, or crushed red pepper before reheating.
Brush with Olive Oil: A light coating on the crust before reheating prevents dryness.
Use a Pizza Stone: If you’re serious about getting that pizzeria-style crispness, a pizza stone is worth the investment.
Let it Rest: Give the pizza a minute or two after reheating to let the flavors settle before diving in.
Half-baked pizza lets you enjoy fresh, restaurant-quality flavor at home. But to get that perfect, pizzeria-style bite, proper storage, and reheating are key.
