You can keep pizza warm without an oven by keeping it on a skillet or a frying pan. To do this, heat the skillet or frying pan over high heat for 1-2 minutes, then place your pizza on it and warm it for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Once warmed, turn off the stove and cover the skillet or frying pan with a lid.

Stack and wrap

Keep stacking, alternating pizza and paper until all the slices are on the plate. Wrap the whole thing tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. That's it!

Boiled water

Another way to keep your food warm for a longer period of time is to use boiling water to heat your stainless steel food container. In the morning, before you pack your lunch, boil water and pour the hot water into your stainless steel container.

Sitting out at Room Temperature

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) strongly recommends following the “two-hour rule” when leaving food out, meaning you shouldn't let pizza or takeout sit at room temperature for over two hours before tossing it.
