many times when we order pizza, I forget to put my ham and pineapple pizza away at night. I always eat the rest for breakfast the next day. No problems yet :)

I was just worried about the cheese...

I got it last night at 9PM EST, so it's exactly a day old.

Think it's OK?

N-E-1 else?

Yeah, just eat it. If you end up wrenching your guts up the next morning, you'll know not to do it again. It's a win win situation! :D

Snow patrol,

Usually I follow that to a tee, but not with my health on the line. I have a BIG exam tomorrow!

Unless you're not in the best of health, it won't hurt you.

And if you don't want it, can you ship it to me?

Well... It could sit around long enough to sprout plant life.

When I was a kid, there was a Chuck E Cheese that closed down and I guess the employees had a pizza party before they left.

Every weekend I'd ride my bike by and look in the window at the abandoned video games and noticing the left over pizza that sat in the middle of the large room that the games were in.

After a few months, there was some sort of plant sprouted out from the middle of the pie.

From a caraway seed maybe? I have no idea where it sprout from, but it was pretty gross!

Pinapples... good...

I think I'm going to go home now and graze on my three-day-old pizza. :)

I think the longest I've ever left a pizza at room temperature and still eaten it is four days. And that was a veggie pizza so I wasn't so worried about food poisoning.

Around 24 hours before the taste goes seriously downhill, at least three days before it starts growing fur, and probably a month or so before it becomes lethal.

I've eaten pizza that was sitting on our stove for 2 days. It gets a little crusty on the edges, but otherwise is edible. After only 24 hours, you are definitely set for consumption of yummy pizza goodness.
