Even some of the ones that are edible still secretly want to kill you. From the Wikipedia entry for "chicken of the woods":
In some cases eating the mushroom "causes mild reactions ... for example, "swollen lips" or in rare cases "nausea, vomiting, dizziness and disorientation" to those who are sensitive. This is believed to be due to a number of factors that include allergies to the mushroom's protein or toxins which are only somewhat stable at high temperatures.
I'll eat portabellos if they come on pasta or pizza (though I've started taking them off the latter because they turn to rubber in the microwave) but I sure as hell am not going out of my way to order any dish that features them (mushrooms) as the main protein.

I don't think the mushrooms are the problem in that situation
-
Bite me, I don't have the counter space for a toaster oven and I'm not heating up the actual oven every time I want a leftover slice.
If the pizza is made from quality ingredients to begin with, it survives microwaving decently well. Mushrooms just refuse to play ball.
-
If you have a stove I can definitely recommend heating your pizza in a dry (with no oil) frying pan. Set the temperature medium-low and heat a slice or two at a time for a few minutes. It comes out like it was freshly cooked.

This is why the internet is worth saving.

Thanks, that rather made my day.

I learned this hack shortly before being diagnosed with celiac and lactose intolerance haha, after a lifetime of eating cold slices
I can confirm it works well, though
-
Oof, that sucks. It seems like the universe really does enjoy a cruel prank sometimes. I hope you've found something equally enjoyable to fill the pizza shaped hole in your meals.
-
I did, thanks! I just eat tacos and stuff when I need my comfort food fix

Veggie crusts are actually pretty good nowadays. Unfortunately, lactose-free cheese is not.
But aren't parmesan and Gouda very low in lactose, because they can be quite old?

I finally got around to trying this. I don't see the point. By the time the cheese was re-melted, the crust turned into a hard cracker and it took ten times longer than the microwave. It's quite possible I had the stove up too high (it's an electric stove and I had it on 4/10), but I'd still say the point goes to the microwave for being quicker and having greater margin for error.
-
Hmmm, it's hard to debug pizza remotely, but maybe the heat wasn't high enough, it normally only takes a minute or two to heat through and cooking it for longer probably would make the base go hard.
Thanks for reporting bavk though, and I'm sorry you had a suboptimal pizza result.

I hope you'll soon get the help you need 🙏

If the pizza is made from real quality ingredients to begin with you should be comfortable with eating it cold judgement eyes
-
I think it's perfect part cold and part warm... Best of both worlds.

Here's a hint for you. Lower the power of the microwave to 4/10 and cook about 50% longer. Once you get the timing down you leftover pizza will be much better and less rubbery.
Most people are clueless about how to properly use a microwave, because no one teaches us, but max all the time is not how it should be used.
-
That's effectively what I do, I don't just blast it for a minute and a half.
I normally don't futz with the power settings but I'll do 30s at a time and check if it's heated, then move it around so the hotspots in the microwave hit different parts of it (the turntable only does so much).
