QUICK! To eat 4 day old pizza?!

I’m prepared to be told it’s disgusting BUT we ordered pizza on Friday night, barely ate any and put the rest in fridge. Didn’t eat it over the weekend for various reasons and now I’m 5 gins in wondering if I could heat it up and it’d be fine??

I would

As long as you make sure it is hot enough.

Better for you than 5 gins Confused

It'll be swarming with bacteria which maybe friendly and maybe not. So you'll either be okay or your insides will be turned inside out.

I would THOROUGHLY warm it. Seriously though. Will it make me ill, I have a good constitution generally 😂

In fairness, it is my birthday and 2 of the gins were hours earlier at the pub 😂
I’m mainly looking for someone to tell me it will be absolutely FINE and I’m being ridiculous to question it but 😂

What toppings? Meat no. Veg yes.

Think about it - you have bread that's a week old (by the time it hits your mouth) and you have cheese in your fridge.

No! It will be rancid and revolting after this long and may well make you really ill. Is it really worth eating it when you could have something else if you're hungry?

Needs to be more than 'warm.'

Bin the salami, spray the pizza with water, then reheat. I did it in a frying pan and it was lovely!

Ruffpuff · 26/07/2023 00:56

I hate half a meal deal wrap that had been unrefrigerated for 20hrs earlier. I seem fine so far.

FYI it wasn’t a choice I made lightly…I forgot my lunch and it was the only thing I had with me at work…and I have no money until pay day

I’ve heard that the water and frying pan is the best way to reheat a pizza! Glad it was nice!

Sorry for that. Seems silly me morning about pizza if you have nothing. I have messaged you.

I'd eat it 🤷🏼‍♀️
I would let my children eat it though 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

etinaz · 26/07/2023 02:23

You put pizza in the fridge on Friday, and it's Tuesday? Four days later? I literally don't understand the issue. Yes, it's fine. It's refrigerated! Reheat it properly and enjoy.

Dunnoburt · 26/07/2023 02:29

I'd eat it cold.....they don't call me iron guts for nothing in my house! 😆
