Like most here I stay away from the microwave. I ALWAYS reheat my pizza on the stovetop though...
low heat, about 5-7 minutes and the pizza tastes just like you ordered it. PLUS, it makes the crust incredible...many times, I'll just toss a new pizza into the fridge, wait for it to cool down, then reheat it on the stovetop.
but i'm weird.

Ecotone- you are NOT weird, just absolutely correct!

Yes, if you want save the pizzas for next couple days. Whatever if you depend how much longer the pizzas. You don't have to thrown pizzas away. Perhaps, its should be keep your pizzas in the refrigeration for couple days later.

I have to say that my personal preference in the morning is for hot pizza from the toaster oven (just had some this morning), although I will say that I this thread has given me inspiration to try stovetop.

I can't do cold pizza, even the thought of it makes me nauseous. I will eat it hot, max 2-3 days old, and I prefer the oven method, though micro will do in a pinch.
I'm definitely going to try the stovetop method though, once I thought about it, I could imagine it will be the perfect way to do it. Thanks for the tip! ^

I tried the stovetop / frypan method last night. It took forever on low heat, so I upped it time and time again until I could smell a difference.
Result: crispy, slightly toasty (thin & crispy, now crispier, base) pizza for Mrs BB. FT is in her good books now.

Leave it out for about a week, then serve it up to your mother in law. She'll get with the program.
