You can also microwave them by putting one slice per serving into a microwavable container with just enough water to cover it and microwaving on high for about 30-40 seconds.
You can also reheat keto Margherita pizza in a cast-iron skillet or pan by heating the pan over medium heat, adding some oil (or butter), then putting your leftover slices of Margherita pizza into the hot pan with tongs. Cook for about 2-4 minutes and your pizza is sure to taste like it just came out of the oven!
