A waffle iron can already help you create some tasty homemade pizza pockets with crescent roll dough, but now you can upgrade your existing leftovers too. In just a few steps, you can turn leftover slices of cold pizza into tasty mini-calzones.


There’s certainly nothing wrong with enjoying a cold slice or reheating it to it’s original crispness. J. Kenji López-Alt at Serious Eats just wanted to take his leftover pizza to the next level of cheesiness. Grab some slices and fold the cheesy, sauce-covered point up to one of the crust’s corners. Slice off your excess—and snack on it—then throw the folded slice in the waffle iron. It will be warm, gooey, and crispy. You can also add in some extra ingredients before waffling.
