Why does pizza.....

....taste so much better the next day when its cold?

Pic of the pizza

I agreed with everything you said up until I saw the banana peppers...blech

Too many toppings!!!!

Pizza to me is all about the crust and the crust can't cook properly with that much stuff on it.

In reply to ditchdigger:

You are WRONG!!!

The only thing the crust is for, is to keep the toppings from hitting the floor on the way to your mouth.

My wife makes a pretty good pizza. It's .25" of crust and 3" of toppings. Mmmm Mmmm Good!

To the OP, pizza is like spaghetti sauce or soup, the longer it percolates, the better it gets. You have to give the flavors time to mingle.

I have not met a single person who didn't enjoy morning pizza fresh from the fridge.

In reply to Toyman01:

Then what you need is a bowl of meat and cheese

I will continue to eat pizza

The lines are being drawn for the Great Pizza Debates of 2013! Ive only met one pizza I didnt like and it was made with fake cheese.

There has to be harmony in the pizza. The crust must be light yet doughy to complement the sauce and cheese. A thin, limp dough (or excessive toppings) doesn't make itself heard loudly enough, while a crunchy, cracker-like dough overpowers the rest of the pizza experience, both turning the pizza into a mere assembly of different foodstuffs rather than one glorious harmonious whole.

Part of the reason why cold pizza is great is because the stiff cheese enhances the experience, mimicking the dough while still retaining a quality of being something completely different.

(yes, Ithink about these things far too much)

FARK has epic ones. It basically turns into a drawn-out stalemate between fans of Chicago-style mozzarella casserole and New York-style sauced napkins.

There is nothing better than waking up knowing you have leftover pizza for breakfast .

I hate crust bleh.. I put banana peppers on everything I eat.

I'll take a deep dish pie with mushrooms, pepperoni and mozzarella.

Because your tastebuds are broken

I don't like cold pizza. I am perfectly ok with warmed up leftovers the next day however.

I like a nice garbage can pizza my self, and if it has anchovies, I don't have to share

This particular pizza is called "The Kitchen Sink" and comes from downtown Imlay City's finest restaurant The Pizza Machine. No fish though

Key to good leftover pizza: Leave it out. Once it goes on the fridge, it's ruined, IMO.

I and most people I know agree that I have guts made of cast iron. Foodborne illness is not much of a concern to me. Just the thought of eating pizza stored at room temp disgusts me.

Yes, dear. It's COOKED. I know it's hard to believe, but refrigerators haven't been around all that long. Somehow humans haven't gone extinct.

I guess its all the pork based meat on top that really concerns me. I know how cheese is shipped in bulk.

With regards to the thin/thick debate, its all in who made it. I usually eat normal pizza, but the best food I've ever put in my mouth is probably the thin crust from Supino Pizzeria in eastern market Detroit. There's a reason that place has a line out the door in the middle of winter.

This won't end well. In before the lock!

Thanks, now I want hawaiian pizza for breakfast tomorrow.

Truth.

I hate cold pizza. The very thought of it makes me gag. There's a bakery in my home town that makes REAL pizza.

No cheese, no toppings, just sauce and spices, and lots of it. Since I don't eat dairy, it's perfect.

I can eat a whole one to myself, it's so good.

Another from the thinner is better camp.

Another from the make I from scratch and kick ass all over the commercially available pies.
