After a great night with lots of takeout pizza, there are sometimes a few slices leftover in the morning.
What do you do with them?
Eat it cold as it comes
Warm it gently in the oven
Nuke it in the microwave
Garnish it for extra flavour
I wouldn't touch day old leftover pizza
You have leftovers ???
Leftover Pizza - What do you do with it
After a great night with lots of takeout pizza, there are sometimes a few slices leftover in the morning.

In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I eat them cold. Sometimes, on a rare occasion, I might heat it up a bit first, but usually not. Reheated pizza tends to be a bit soggy. Besides, there's something nice about eating the cheese when it's all congealed like that. It makes me more sympathetic to my arteries.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
I'm diligent about getting the leftover pizza into the fridge before it is too old. I like it cold the next day actually if it is plain. If it has meat on it though, I have a tendency to heat for a bit in the microwave.
It's kind of weird, most leftover, cold food grosses me out completely. I don't mind reheated leftovers, but I try to get my husband to do the reheating, cause looking at the cold food puts me off my appetite. The one exception I can think of is pizza. I like it cold from the fridge almost as much as I like it freshly delivered and piping hot. I deliberately save a couple pieces and hide them in the back of the fridge so they will be there for breakfast the next day!
Cold pizza is one of the 3 best breakfasts in the world.
I tend to eat it cold, myself.
For those who don't like the way that nuking your leftover pizza soggifies it: try reheating individual slices in a skillet. Not as involved as using the oven, but does a much better job of reheating the pizza.
When I do reheat it, which is the way my husband prefers it, I put it right on the rack of the toaster oven, which works pretty well to get it to it's pre-refrigerated state. Microwaving it is the worst thing you could do.

Cold, baby!
And it it's crap pizza (frozen) I often use it as bread for a peanut butter sandwich. Really. I do.

Either cold, for me, or warmed in the toaster oven, for my husband.

I eat it all before it goes in the fridge. Or, if some foolish person stuck it in the fridge before I was done, I will sit in the fridge and eat it.
I usually reheat my pizza in the microwave and then throw it in a skillet to make it crispy again.
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

Okay, I don't actually sit inside with the door closed. I just crouch down and start foraging like some sort of feral animal.
