i find it still palateable after 24 hours out, but i never go past that, usually overnight at the most. my partner will let it sit for longer if i dont intervene

the flavor and texture degrade quite a bit even just overnight. if you put it in the fridge right away (in something airtight) flavor and texture stay much more intact. For me i will give it up to 5 days in the fridge before throwing it out.

if i have way too much pizza i freeze slices in airtight bags. a bit of a hassle to reheat, but it comes out almost as good as fresh

I have almost never put leftover pizza in the fridge. Generally store it in the oven. That's how my folks did it. Never had any problems. Was not expecting to come into this thread and see universal adoption of fridge pizza. I find the crust gets wet and gooey. You all do you, but after fifty years of doing it my way without any issues, I can't see any reason to change.

I keep bread in the fridge too. Is that bad?

I generally put it in the fridge, but I've probably eaten more drunken, left out pizza than most and it never messed me up. I guess I don't know either. lol

I probably should, but I generally just pop it in the oven overnight and finish it within 24 hours. Could I get sick? Yeah, potentially, but I've been doing this for decades and haven't gotten sick once.

I always reheat my leftover pizza though, so if you're going to eat it cold YMMV.

… wy would you put it any where else but fridge ❔️

I freeze it. Takes 1-2 minutes to reheat.

No, I just leave it out in the kitchen and eat it over the next day or two.

I could leave it out all day like 8 hours and then put it in the fridge later
