If I keep Pizza in a fridge overnight. Should I eat it cold or if there is meat in it is it safe to warm up? Especially if the meat has already been cooked.

Cold or hot, doesn't matter. Enjoy!

it depends on the pizza history pre refrigerator.

Most pizza ovens run at 500C +...........so as long as the pizza wasn't left out too long after it cooled no worries at all

 

BTW, my favorite way to reheat pizza is on the stove in butter.......both sides! MMMMMMMMMMMM

I've never even thought about doing that before...sounds soo good!

I believe the real question here is... Why are there leftovers?

I guess if it was the size of a dustbin lid and deep pan there may have been a slice leftover. 

What is it with these alphabet account bots and inane questions? 

One mans inane question is another mans conundrum.

@Slab, I could be wrong, but I was thinking it was teens (scared teens, ha) who just type random letters and don't care what their username is. 

I note that the OP has not followed up. Hmmm.

 

Bought in the middle of a desert (not a mirage) and left on the floor of a car all day ? Scrumptious.

 

Personally I find cold Pizza totally depressing so, everyhing else being equal, my answer to OP is yes but not just "warmed".

I promise I am not pulling your leg... Cold Pizza dipped in Ketchup is AMAZING!!!!  

I'm on team ranch dressing!

Hello,

 

The answer has already been given above, however... from a Food Safety perspective, it's a very interesting one. A lot can be happening during the non-chilled period, as a pizza can contain lots of different ingredients (cheese, spices, sauce, vegetables, meat, fish, chicken):

  • What has been the state of the ingredients?
  • The condition of the pizza baker itself?
  • Time and temperature of the non-chilled period
  • Were the pathogens really killed?
  • What is, or better, what can be the intended use / shelf-life of the pizza? (See also the last bullet regarding consumer behaviour)
  • Has there been an activation of bacterial spores present in the spices during baking, which grew out and produced toxins during the non-chilled period?
  • Has there been a contamination after the pizza was baked?
  • Who is responsible, if there is a food poisoning afterwards?
