The Microwave Menace
Microwaving a Chicago Town pizza is a bit like trying to tame a wild beast. It's capable of producing a crispy, gooey delight, but it can also turn into a molten, cardboard-flavored disaster. The key? Timing. Or, as we like to call it, the art of microwave wizardry.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
How Long, Oh How Long?
The official instructions say three minutes. But let's be real, who follows instructions? Some people swear by two minutes, others go for four. We've even heard tales of brave souls pushing it to five. But remember, dear reader, we cannot be held responsible for any resulting explosions or kitchen fires.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.

A word of caution: Overcooking can lead to a rubbery crust and a sad, defeated-looking pizza. Undercooking, on the other hand, will leave you with a cold, chewy mess. It's a delicate balance.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Tips and Tricks
- Defrost it first: For best results, let your pizza thaw slightly before nuking it.
- Plate it up: Don't microwave the pizza directly on the cardboard base. Use a microwave-safe plate.
- Cover it up: Cover your pizza with a damp paper towel to help prevent it from drying out.
- Let it rest: Once it's out of the microwave, let it cool for a minute or two before digging in.
Remember: Every microwave is different. You might need to experiment to find the perfect cooking time for your particular appliance.
