Pizza Questions

[hmhaines]

You've ordered pizza.

Everyone has eaten their fill.

Half a pizza is left.

Do you put it in the fridge or leave it on the counter/table overnight?
(I come from a counter family, my girlfriend is a fridge-pizza person. Shocked me when I found out!)


Next day, pizza is cold.

Eat it cold? Reheat it?
(Cold for me. Shannen reheats in the microwave. Not sure how this relationship will ever last....)

Cold pizza and beer. Breakfast of champions!

 

[Chasing Embers]

Like cold fried chicken too.

On the counter, in the cardboard. Day old pizza, a breakfast repast excelled only by peanut butter on toast and black coffee.

Some moments call for cold pizza, others call for it hot. Sometimes I'm too lazy to throw it on a plate and stick in the microwave. It's these times that I am reminded of the awesomeness of cold pizza.

Depends....regular or thin crust, leave it out and eat it cold. Deep dish needs to be reheated.

Your questions are just too hard ... :wink:
On the rare instances that the pizza isn't finished, it stays on the counter 'til bedtime (partly why they rarely last the night). Then it goes into the fridge, where it has a slim but very realistic chance of making it to morning.

Like cold fried chicken too.

I like cold day-after KFC almost as much as I like it fresh and hot out of the bucket. :mrgreen:
EDIT: Oh, yeah ... if the pizza does make it to morning, it's a dish best served cold.

Because cold hard artery clogging, heart attack chicken is so much better than hot? :roll:
:mrgreen:actually it really is :mrgreen: It's that skin, man! And the breading! Freaking fantastic :mrgreen:

Bacteria crows best between 41-135degrees Fahrenheit. It goes in the refrigerator in my house and is reheated either in the oven or the microwave. After I got out of the military I went to fill art school and became a chef. Now I teach culinary arts and food safety and sanitation, so leaving pizza on the counter just doesn't work for me.

:rofl:
Arteriosclerosis is a revenge that's best served cold.

I have pizza about once a year so there rarely are any leftovers. I would however prefer fridge and microwave.

Chicken needs to be refrigerated. So if it's a chicken pizza (or Fried Chicken), it should be refrigerated. If it is a pizza of cheese and cured meats, it stays on the counter.

 

[sablebrush52]

In the fridge. I'm not trying to grow bacteria colonies any more than necessary.

 

[didimauw]

fridge instead of counter, and oven instead of microwave.

as for leftover pizza, usually only 2-3 slices left so they go into some foil and in my lunch box for tomorrows lunch

 

[mackeson]

Usually fridge. I prefer the leftover pizza or chicken cold. I like cold next day spaghetti too.

 

[aldecaker]

Leftover pizza goes in the fridge. If it does make it 'till morning, it always gets eaten cold. (As a side note, pizza does not have chicken on it. Pizza has tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on a thin, floppy crust, and is best purchased from a street vendor. Chicken is the stuff with bones in it and a crispy golden-brown breading on the outside.)

Tarheel, Former professional chef of 13 years here......I'm surprised more people don't die of food poisoning, just saying.
If I'm lazy, pizza stays on counter. If I'm feeling ambitious, pizza goes in fridge. Either way, it never sees heat in the morning. It is a dish best served cold.

 

[mothernaturewilleatusallforbreakfast]

Fridge. I'm not a fan of bacteria. Cold pizza is great!

 

[ray47]

Pizza gives me serious heartburn, but when I did eat pizza and any was left over it was placed in the fridge and reheated the next day. As a side note.....smoking a pipe after eating pizza is a bad experience.
