Cold Pizza

[LuvOrlando]

Love good pizza any which way if finds me. Did recently discover that the best way to reheat is in a frying pan with the lid on.

I take out 2 pieces. Microwave one while I eat the other. Yes. I don’t have the ability to wait one minute.

I’m just really impatient.

I don’t like cold tomato sauce. I can eat white pizza cold, but if there is tomato sauce I pop it in the toaster oven on the bagel setting. That setting focuses on browning the top of the bagel, so it works well for reheating the toppings on a slice of pizza.

You can gauge a good pizza by how good it is cold the next day. A good pizza is awesome cold. Bad pizza might be just OK when fresh, but is very bad cold.

Pizza crust with flavor, not bread dough. A good tomato pizza sauce, which can't come from a can unfortunately. Real cheese, not the pre-shredded waxy stuff. That's how you make a good pizza.

I personally find it disgusting. DH doesn't.
He normally will reheat it but he's not adverse to just eating it cold too.
I'm one who eats all food the way it's intended though
If the dish is supposed to be warm, I eat it warm
If it's supposed to be hot, I eat it hot.
I can't think of anything I eat the opposite way it's intended off the top of my head

Pizza is great at any temperature!

 

[PollyannaMom]

Yum!!

It must come the fridge, though. I don't feel it's safe to eat if it's been out on the counter all night.

Pizza is great at any temperature!

Frozen pizza it is! Phew, saves me about 18 minutes.

 

[AgentMama]

You can't beat cold breakfast pizza!

No, I don’t eat pizza cold, but wouldn’t say it’s disgusting. To each their own. To me, it’s not a big deal to heat it in the oven for 10 minutes, and it tastes so much better.

Cold pizza is delicious!

 

[CallieMar]

I love cold pizza! Room temp is ok too but I wouldn’t leave pizza out overnight. Good pizza tastes delicious straight out of the fridge.

Unless someone coughed on the pizza I wouldn’t worry too much about it being spoiled if left on the counter overnight, it goes right from a 400 degree oven into a box, any germs from the cooking process were killed.

I’ll eat it room temp but don’t like it cold as much, but it depends on what type it is. I agree a few mins reheating in a hot oven is best.

I voted disgusting. Besides turkey, I don’t eat any usually hot food without reheating it.

Im more grossed out by having it for breakfast than I am the cold part

But Ive grabbed worse when in a hurry.

Italians eat pizza for breakfast. Many are sold on street carts and reheated on the spot.

I think the biggest worry might be food poisoning. Botulism of course, but also staph food poisoning can be worse because the toxins don't break downl with heat as easily as botulism toxin.

Where is the option for: Come on, how hard is it to spend 3-5 minutes heating it up in the oven? Here's my tip for quick & foolproof pizza reheating:

Place the pizza on foil in a cold oven. Then preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once it's reached 350 (which only takes a few minutes), your pizza is ready. It's hot and not leathery at all.

I love cold pizza and so does my preschooler! Hubby heats his up.

 

[mumto3girls]

I actually prefer pizza room temp to lukewarm over hot or cold.

I might stick it in the oven for a few minutes to take off the chill, but not until it’s hot.

I don't like it, but it's not disgusting.
Used to do it in high school, but that was looooooong ago.
