2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

No, the step the poster forgot to mention is to add a bit of water to the skillet, that crisps up the crust. It works really well.
I do not do it that way anymore since I now have a steam oven. If I didn’t have that then I agree cast-iron skillet is the best way.

They got a different kind of water on your planet?
Nope, same water as you most likely.
Unless you live in a bubble of otherworldly physics and chemistry it should work for you too.
Bread goes stale because starches crystallize over time, by adding water to the surface and and then exposing it to low heat (300° or less) the starches breakdown and the bread softens. Water boils at 212°, a thin layer of water on the bottom of the skillet will create steam around the top of the pizza slices in a closed cast iron skillet and water absorbed into the crust will break down the starch crystals and then crisp up the bottom crust without burning it while also keeping the top of the pizza from scorching.
The water in the skillet ensures the temps on the bottom of the pizza never gets too high while it is evaporating since the water will maintain 212° at its highest temp until it is fully evaporated.
So as long as you figure out the proper temps/heat level on your stovetop and proper timing so you remove the slices from the skillet during the window of time that the water is fully evaporated but before it starts burning the bottom crust then you should have a perfectly reheated slice of old pizza with a crispy crust and rehydrated crust with gooey cheese on top.
