>If you have more than four pieces of pizza left over,

you're not doing it right

This is a terrible tip. Now I have a piece of pizza with smeared toppings and spread all over the bottom of my container, as well as smeared toppings on the top piece and spread all over the container lid. And I wasted a bunch of paper doing it. Just keep it in the box.

OP didn’t even explain why this method is better. It just seems like a lot of extra work for a problem that doesn’t exist. I wrap mine in aluminum foil or throw is in a ziplock and have had zero problems thus far.

I'll post more detail in the next tip.

I like using a washable plastic or glass container instead of zip locks to reduce single use plastic waste.

Aluminum foil can take advantage of this method also, you can wrap two pieces together stacked bread-to-bread.

Pizza dries out if left in the box. I find the toppings stay on the pizza and don't stick to the bottom of the container. If stacked toppings up, the toppings do stick to the bottom of the above piece. With bread-side to bread-side, there are no toppings to stick to anything. The wax paper, or parchment paper, keeps the toppings from sticking to each other.

This method minimizes paper usage by taking advantage of the bread to bread arrangement.

how is it minimizing paper usage when you're actively adding paper

And unless the pizza is scolding hot, the toppings don’t really stick

Before I used this method I used a piece of paper between each piece. Using this method I use a piece of paper for every two pieces. So that is how I am using less paper.

If I have two pieces left over, I use no paper.

Why am I putting any of my pizza upside down? What is the point in that if I'm suppose to use paper between the slices?

Also, no.

Putting the pizza upside down, the next piece upside up, then paper, saves you a piece of paper for every two pieces. If you go upside up for all pieces, you use a piece of paper for every piece, except the last one. This method saves on paper.

A better LPT would be to explain to me how does one end up with leftover pizza.

if it’s been slice on top of slice on a plate not covered in the refrigerator and eaten cold the next day, it’s still pretty damn good

Or microwave it with some water when you want some of it

Oof, you got me there. I warm up pizza in the oven at 375 or on a griddle on the stove with aluminum foil tent over the top. When I microwaved leftover pizza, the crust got too chewy and soft for me. I like my pizza with a crispy crust.

Microwaves are good for stale bagels though. A few seconds in the microwave softens a stale bagel enough for me to slice it in half.

I’d love to have that crispy crust too, but unfortunately the simplicity of a microwave and a few presses of a button does the job for me. Equally, the same for an air-fryer, but of course crispier than results from a microwave.

If you have one in the office, of course
