I probably could have made a salad for lunch, but fuck it: that leftover sausage and mushroom pizza wasn’t getting any younger — and it certainly wasn’t going to eat itself.
So. That settled that.

Cold or reheated?
Please say reheated.
LEFTOVER?? You had leftover sausage and mushroom pizza?
Slacker.
Cold is the ONLY way to eat leftover pizza.
Anyone saying different is begging for a series of overwrought, yet intellectually numbing, series of hypotheticals, counter-hypotheticals, reader polls, and safe words.
SCHISM!!!!!11!!!1!!
Meh Darth, keep mine in the oven overnight, the pilot keeps it at least soft.
30 seconds on high per slice. I just can’t understand you cold-pizza fetishists.
Cold pizza is awesome. Mmmmm.
Cold pizza rocks. If trying to reheat brisket, wrap it inside some fat netting before putting it in the oven. Yum.
Um…
I don’t think those were the mushrooms you were expecting. The little guy was waxing creative late last night, and got into the mayonnaise jar full of, well…
How are you feeling?
BBQ chicken & pineapple pizza is a personal favorite of mine. Hot or cold, subject to the vagaries of the day, thereof …
Pizza hot or cold doesn’t interest me.
Yeah yeah, burn the pizza heretic.
Or denounce me as a racist. Or bitterclinger jebustard.
Blake? you are hereby denounced thrice.
Burning is too good for the likes of you.
JD? fat netting?
Burn the heretic!! BURN HIM!!
I could wax elegant (If I knew how, or even what it meant) on the absolute deliciousness of a homemade meat lovers calzone…OH the pepperoni.the sausage, the home spiced burger!! The mushrooms and onions and homemade sauce…Wrapped in a delicately, nay lovingly made pizza crust (from scratch bitches!!)
Cold. With a bottle of dunkel. For breakfast.
EAT ME NEXT, GOLDSTEIN!
Blitz, I believe JD’s talking about caul fat. It’s like a thin, lacy net of fat taken from a pig’s stomach. Used when roasting lean cuts of meat. As with all pig fat, it’s sinfully tasty.
Thanks Darth, I thought that’s what it was.
WAY OT…I’m looking for 3-5 dell XG260,270 desktops for My S.A. gig. Anyone looking to donate?
Crap, GX
Anyway, Blitz, why am I talking to you? PIZZA REWARMING HERETIC!!!!11!!!one!!
I never REwarm Darth, I simply keep a light on for it.
sausage & mushroom? SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM?!? that may be acceptable in pasta, but all right-thinking individuals know that you only pair mushroom with Pepperoni.
Schismatic. I’m so disillusioned.
mushroom and ham. That is all.
Now now Ernst, I feel your angst, used to be the same way until the discovery oof black olives.
Mushrooms and HAM?? My god man, are your taste buds dead? That sir, is an affront to pizza lovers everywhere.
I challenge you to a duel sir, yes, a duel I say!! Weapon of your choice, including, but not limited to, Pepperoni sticks, black olive slings, onion juice squirt guns and baloney shields…
…with some nice, carmelized onions. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I made one up once…an amazing pizza, but you had to go in to order. Hamburg -pickle
Black olives on pizza is evil, and must be destroyed.
Now, some lovely pitted & sliced Kalamata olives might be good. Or some brine-cured olives. In limited quantity, natch.
But those black olives what come right out of a can? Ick. Might as well be eating fresh compost.
(looks around sneakily before asking this question designed to fragment the pw commentariat even further…)
So which is better? Chicago pizza or New York pizza?
BOOM! goes the dynamite!
Ah, Slart!! I see the disconnect!! Normally, my pizzas are homemade.FRESH black olives, pepperoni right off the stick, my own caramelized onions and pepper and homemade dough.
New york. NO DOUBT. And if you disagree you’re a pizzaist racist what likes to stick your nether regions into an eggplant.
Apparently I’m too pedestrian for this crowd…
Y’all got me hungry. I will now have to go to http://www.pizzology.com.
Blitz – fat netting is exactly what it sounds like.
” Apparently I’m too pedestrian for this crowd… ”
GOOD DAY SIR
Hmmm…JD? Tghey make something like that? I really did think it was caul fat.
oops, they. not t’gay
I’ve seen leftover pizza that could possibly walk. ‘Course, it had been in the ‘fridge for a while.
Blitz – that could very well be the proper name for it.
Speaking of pizza – the best I have had, anywhere in the world, was in this little place in Southern Illinois, Marion – Walt’s Pizza. It was a double decker pizza, which is essentially one pizza stacked on top of another pizza, with intertwined crusts. It really does defy description, and it is good beyond words.
” I’ve seen leftover pizza that could possibly walk. ‘Course, it had been in the ‘fridge for a while.”
I’d hit that
sausage onion and bell pepper belongs in a nice tomato, basi, garlic & red wine reduction, then tossed with penne
black olives belong in nachos,but I had to BEAT that into Slarti
JD, That’s why i make fresh calzones for us. NOTHING better than a pizza wrapped in a pizza!! Better than sex (with my ex, anyway)
< /Ernie Turner >
“…black olives belong…”
From cans belong in the cans and should stay there for all eternity. Gaeta’s, Calamata’s, oil-cured and other loose living olives belong in my stomach. Amen.
Ernst,Ernst,Ernst….If you go that route, at least include some fresh chunk zucchini, and top with fresh feta and chopped parsley.
The 2nd “fresh” does not belong there
Most of you are heretics. Veggies are for salad. Sausage, Pepperoni and BACON pizza. Ham is for sandwiches.
Although white pizza (cheese and garlic – no tomato sauce) is allowed on alternate Fridays.
RAAAAAACIST! I condemn myself.
Oh no…Agile used the “B” word!!! Bacon on pizza is like SO not talked about! Hell, I’d eat bacon on pu**y, and ignore the pu**y…..
Agile? you make that a goat cheese feta and roasted garlic? all OVER it!!!
Punch Neapolitan, Cleveland Avenue. Salame e Funghi: Start with hand-made dough topped with San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella. Add salami, mushroom, garlic, fontina, oregano, and a healthy splash of olive oil. Bake at 800 degrees for 90 seconds.
It just might make you cry a little. I know I did.
Squid wins the thread…( wiping tears also )
“Ham” is American for prosciutto or speck.
prosciutto is not ham. it’s a god sent meat that belongs BY ITSELF in a variety of ways. My fave? slightly fried, on a fresh roll,with a touch of oniin and sweet hot honey mustard.
well, I know it’s ‘ham” but HAM? No
It would be cool if left-overs did eat themselves.
When they got too old I mean.
Pizza molding in the back of the fridge is just a burden on the system.
This is bat shit crazy! What was his intent?
I eat plain cheese pizza because it’s yummy and you taste the sauce more.
And also because I don’t like processed meats.
LB? Pizza molding is blasphemy!! May God have mercy on your soul.
But you like processed cheese Ella?
Double pepperoni is the bomb. I may have to buy a pizza one of these days, now. Thanks, jerks.
Down there ? in the age-appropriatness post, I believe, happyfeet commented he was busy looking for something, then linked a photo of Campbell’s cream of poblano soup. Happyfeet, this is for you specifically. And thank you for the great idea.
Pizza is probably the worlds most perfect food.I’m talking pizza made here in the Chicago area. We have the best pizza in the world. It has everything. I am, if I may say so, a pizza connoisseur. Just about anything is permissable as a pizza topping except anything that is good for you. The thin crust must have a crust the consistancy of a cracker. Not soft and doughy. Deep dish crust should have a hard flaky bottom with the rest firm but not soft like chain pizzaria pizza. The sauce should have authority and a little bit of a bite to it.It should not be watery at all, but the consistancy of oil base paint. You should be able to taste the oregano. If they’ve done the cheese right- it should only be mozzarella- you can’t see the sauce.They should only use real Italian sausage. The Italian sausage should be rough not in little balls. If they are going to use anchovies, make sure soak them first to get rid of most of the salt or they will overpower everything else.
Left over thin crust should be eaten cold. Deep dish leftovers should be reheated.
There’s a reason I’m roughly the size of Jabba the Hut.
Sausage has a weird texture. There! I said it! And so does pepperoni and, frankly, I’m afraid to try salami because it’s like something that used to be gelatinous and then solidified. And cured hams — including prosciutto — have an aftertaste.
Meanwhile, mozzarella is all that is good and pure.
I had a great potato-leek soup over the weekend. There were toasted leeks and fresh shaved parmesan on top. Soooooo good.
Campiti’s Pizza in Dormont, PA (suburb of Pittsburgh). At least it was good forty years ago.
The only thing better than a cold slice of pizza for breakfast is a cold chunk of left over lasagna.
Buddy’s Pizza – I miss that so much.
I like Naples-style pizza, Neopolitan is the word, I believe. Huge slices of crispy yet chewy papr-thin slices of wonderful. The sauce tonight had some pureed carrots in it, which gave it a little sweet, which nicely balanced out the heat of the peppers. I ate a lot. They used pureed carrots in their pasta sauces too. Very yummy.
I’ve heard it said that if it is made outside of Brooklyn, it isn’t pizza…
At present, I’m having a global warming argument w/ an idiot. JD? put carrots in my sauce and I will hunt you down, barbed wire be damned!!!
anyway, NY pizz kicks chicago styles ass.
racist
Sheesh new, thennyou MUST belive that a whith pizza (cheese,what have you) is KKK?
CRAP….White pizza
Geeze, Blitz, if one reads your #73 out loud, it makes you sound, well, blitzed.

Cold pizza in the morning is absolutely great! IF you drank a whole lot of booze, deep into the night. If you did that, cold pizza is absolutely heavenly!
If you didn’t drink prodigious amounts of alcohol the night before, cold pizza is not the coolest thing to eat in the morning (although I think it is beyond delicious).
Try this. Balsamic vinegar, mozzerela cheese, (that’s how spell-check told me to spell it) onions, and tomatos (Tomatoes for Dan Quale). Let it sir for a couple of days…Like beef stew…
Then you will know what kind of person you are if you actually like it
Tomatos, tomaatos,,,
jUST SAYIN’…
sir = sit.
No problem. I am way past my bedtime…
bushcheneyhaliburton developed white pizza to kill blacks in new orleans during katrina
/food critic frank rich
What is this pizza of which you speak? ?
/South Beach diet.
sigh.
Wait, wait, I just remembered there is one pizza I do like.
California Pizza Kitchen makes what they call a “Sicilian Pizza.” Cracker thin crust, sauce has some bite.
From the web site:
Sicilian
THIN CRUST PIZZA: A spicy marinara sauce with sweet Italian sausage, spicy Capicola ham, julienne salami, Fontina, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Topped with fresh oregano and basil.
Or am I still a heretic deserving of being burned at the stake?
I know, but daughter was here, wasn’t really paying attention to typing
“I’m a cold Italian pizza/I could use a lemon squeezer…”
TLD,
The plural of tomato is tomatoes and potato, potatoes. Quayle made the mistake of assuming potato ended with an e.
I have to say this again, and no Spiny, I’m not blitzed, I’m Blitz (Ed) The Salvation army in Framingham MA is looking for 3-5 GX260,270’s.
If any of y’all know where to get some donated? I’m blitzwhite@aol.com
Preach it. There have been times I have put almost an entire pizza in the fridge until morning, because I knew it was going to taste ten times better as cold leftover pizza than it did as hot, freshly delivered pizza.
(And before you make the suggestion, I can’t choose some other delivery place.)
You haven’t lived until you’ve had figs on your pizza.
Which I did.
In Colombia.
Before my Spanish was good enough to know that “higos son unas cositas negras” didn’t mean “olives.”
Ham and black olives. That’s my favorite pizza. Never cold, you heathens.
Also, fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, and black olives, if you’re in Collegetown near Cornell. Them Lefties can make a good non-meat pizza, that’s for sure.
I had squid and marinated baby corn pizza in Japan … but only once.
Not once of you racists have any love for the Hawaiian pizza, huh? Figures. You just can’t handle a black President.
The Dearborn Italian Bakery had these great pizzas you would take home and bake yourself.
Or, y’know, each other. In the words of George Carlin: did something eat something else?
I occasionally dig pesto pizza with some sundried tomatoes and a few other choice goodies. Sometimes the tomato sauce thing gets old.
I had squid and marinated baby corn pizza in Japan…
I’ve never even been to Japan!
Home made crust, olive oil infused with roasted garlic, campari tomatoes (sliced ~1/4 in thick), mozzarella cheese. In the morning reheated just enough to take the chill off.
If it ain’t tryin’ ta give you a heart attack, it ain’t pizza.
