What is it that you love the most about a pizza? Is it the chees pull? Is it the wholesome mix of the toppings and the sauces together, or is it the thin crunchy crust? Whatever your reason might be, we are sure there are million others who love pizza for the same. I personally love pizza for the cheese! It takes me not more than 10 minutes to gobble up an entire pizza and I proudly proclaim that! However, on the some of the rarest occasions when I cannot finish a pizza, I like to store and have it for the next meal or the next day. Now, if you have done the same, you known that the delicious cheesy delight instantly loses all its glory when you reheat and try having it the next day.
