Just watch it for a bit. If it doesn't make any attempt to move, eat it.

...or see if it passes the Turing test.

Then ask it for consent to be eaten.

I don't think that a pizza has ever survived long enough for this to come up for me, but Friday to Monday in the fridge would be fine, I'd have said.

I mean I'm careful to only order from the place down the road that does a BOGOF offer. I'll eat one there and then and let the other... stink out the fridge unless the family gobbles it up the following morning.

what is this 'leftover' pizza you speak of?

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I was confused as well.

My standard for anything is that if it's not moldy, it's fine.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's fine. The main loss at this point is texture/dryness. I like to fry old pizza in olive oil in a skillet, then lid with the heat off for a minute. The steam melts the cheese and it comes back to life.

[–] Bahalex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like to flip it too, crisp up the cheese on top.

Until breakfast the next day when it's eaten cold.

As long as it doesn't have sea food or chicken I'd expect it to be fine for a week in the fridge. Ideally, you put some kind of cover on it to protect it from spores.

[–] zepheriths@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Normally 7 days is the maximum

[–] Koof_on_the_Roof@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Depends on the topping, fish no, margarita yes. Chicken - check your access to a toilet for the day.

I mean, it was a Buy One Get One Free offer. I still ate the first pizza..

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I guess it also depends on the toppings. Like, seafood and big chunks of vegetables spoil faster than, say, cinnamon sticks (but the latter is quite a rare sight on pizza). At least if you care more about the food safety aspect.

Otherwise, if you were just looking for various opinions (or preferably, equivocal ones), I personally wouldn't eat it later than the second breakfast time. I mean, the breakfast two days from delivery, not the hobbit meal. Also, if it's as late as the 2nd day, I wouldn't do that on a work day, or if I'm not guaranteed to have a safe emergency toilet opportunity.

If it's not slimy or furry I'd probably nuke it in the microwave and still eat it up to a week later.

A few days is fine.
