Leftover pizza makes a worthy snack straight from the fridge — you may be one of those who think that pizza tastes better cold the next day. But if you prefer your pizza warm or want to crisp up your leftover pie break out the waffle iron. Using a waffle iron to reheat your leftover pizza is a super quick and easy way to transform a cold rubbery slice into a crispy gooey bite. Think of it like a pizza panini or a campfire pizza except you don’t have to get out the dough or toppings to make this delicious snack.

4 Brilliant Ways to Use a Waffle Iron
To make your waffle iron pizza simply take a slice of leftover pizza and fold the tip toward the crust covering the bread with toppings. Then trim off the excess including the crust leaving you with a triangle. Feel free to add extra toppings before folding to jazz up a plain slice. Preheat your waffle iron place your folded pizza triangles on top and close the lid.
If your waffle iron is large enough and you have a few slices of pizza you can skip the whole folding process and just stack them on top of each other with the bread side out. It’s still a good idea to cut off the crust because it makes it easier to close the lid of the waffle iron.
The ideal leftover pizza waffle should be extra crispy on the outside and super gooey on the inside — similar to a pizza pocket or calzone a great on-the-go snack. What you don’t want is a sticky mess all over your waffle iron and a sloppy pizza bite with no toppings. To prevent this it’s a good idea to spray your waffle iron with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the bread and any cheese or toppings that fall out from sticking to the waffle iron.
