The air fryer's super easy and generally gets about 80% of the ideal result, but if I feel like putting a little more effort into it (seems strange to type that when referring to leftover pizza), the best method is in a frying pan...

Add pizza slices, turn on burner medium high. Once the bottom starts crisping, add a splash of water around the edge (so it doesn't contact the crust and ruin the newly achieved crispness) and cover with a lid... The steam reheats the toppings and perfectly melts the cheese into gooey greatness. Roughly the same time and slightly more effort, but for my preferences, achieves a better-than-fresh-take out result.

This is my go-to and it almost never fails. Garbage pizzas even improve this way.

That’s the way I used to do it, but I find using the air fryer at 280f is the same.

Not sure if mentioned but I found a little gem in Ogden of all places, It's called Monza Pizza google, the Italian owners are from Montreal and apparently the husband comes from 2 generations of pizza making, great tasting homemade sauce and dough from the family.

It's a little dive but I have to say it's the best pizza I've had in Calgary ever, full menu of other Italian foods and even have authentic Montreal smoked meat

There's a Monza Pizza opening up soon in Market Mall, good to see it will be be something to look forward to.

I tried it last night. It’s fine but wasn’t amazing. Crust was greasy by the time I got home (Riverbend so not far) toppings slid off the crust. Definitely a fork and knife kind of place.

I would eat it again but I think I’m choosing the cheaper Chicago deep dish across the street

Also, Gus. Nicks (actual Greeks).

If I ever find myself that far NW, I'm going to Red Top for Detroit style.

"That far?" Scenic Acres is pretty far from Sage Hill.

I was trying to suggest places that weren't too far away.
