If you order pizza and have extra does it go in the fridge, counter or somewhere else? Growing up we always put it in the fridge, would never even think not to but dh insists it doesn't go in the fridge, it stays in the box. Also, do you reheat your pizza? Dh swears you can't because it changes the consistencey of the chesse, I have to but I do it on the oven rack, never the microwave.

On the rare occurrence that there is leftover pizza, it gets put in the fridge in a sealed container. For reheating, I have a pizza stone that works quite well.

In the fridge in the box, unless there's just a bit left in which case it goes in a bag because that takes up less room.
It goes in the pizza oven to be reheated.

left over pizza is stored in the box in the fridge. if the kids are eating it heated up it is done in the microwave. If I am eating the leftovers , then it is heated up in the oven.

The pizza bread consitatncey changes in the microwave, it gets rubbery

In the fridge in the box. I will put it in the microwave if I want it warmed, but really it just makes a breeding ground for bacteria if you eat it cold.

Fridge in a plastic bag since there is never room for a box. I always eat it cold the next day for breakfast! It's one of my favorites that way!

Ours never lasts long (ie is gone as breakfast next morning) so it doesn't usally go in the fridge, cause I agree once it hits the fridge its never as good. I eat it room temp, no reheating.

Box, on side or in oven away from cats and dogs.... the tepid bacteria growth temp adds to the leftover flavour.

Indian is also left, and is amazing for breakie cold.

In the fridge in a container or bag. I re-heat in the oven. Although I was just watching Tyler Florence, and he says to re-heat in a frying pan with a cover.

If I'm desperate & starving I will heat in microwave.

I put it in the fridge either in the box or a Ziploc bag depending on how much is left over, and depending on my mood I either warm in up in the microwave or eat it cold.

Pizza is a rare occurrence around here though, and now I'm having a killer craving. :(
