Leftover Pizza: The Great Debate

[Fifty]

This is a hotly contentious issue in the aesthetics of pizza. When you have leftover pizza, do you reheat it or not? The reheat people claim that pizza just tastes horrible cold, the flavors become muted and the cheese is rubbery and gross. The cold people claim that cold pizza is easier and preserves the charming ghettoness of a pizza breakfast. Furthermore, they claim that reheated pizza tastes "funny".

WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE AND WHY?

When the hell did people start eating pizza cold???

Cold pizza is great with coffee. One of "weird things i like" so i usually don't heat it.

 

[azzaman333]

Reheated is almost as good as fresh.

My girlfriend likes it cold, but I think that is a waste of perfectly good pizza! The point of pizza is for it to be hot, and to have soft, melted cheese.

To each their own, I guess.

Reheat it; why would you eat cold pizza? Disgusting.

Cold or warm?

Warm on one side, cold on the other obviously.

Reheated is disgusting. Cold is delicious.

I usually eat it cold, but, if I have the time and energy for it (1% of times), I fry it in a pan, I know it sounds weird, but just try it, it's awesome.

Depends on the pizza and how lazy I am.

I NEVER reheat pizza in a microwave. That's just wrong.

Quite so.

And reheating previously cooked meat is not a good idea, risks food poisoning.

 

[Sidhe]

Cold; mildly hypoglycaemic and mildly hungover usually, and lazy.

 

[Thorbal]

Hm... nothing better than cold pizza for breakfast !

 

[Elrohir]

I just had leftover pizza for lunch today!

I warmed it up. It's usually better that way. It's best reheated in the oven, but the microwave is quicker, so I usually do that. Pizza is never as good reheated as it is hot originally, but most is OK.

Cold pizza is OK, and I'll eat it, but I prefer it hot 95% of the time.
