Cold tomato sauces have their own appeal. Letting the cheese chill also is nice. If the pizza is still warm from the first time it is cooked, that is the best. But reheating never works right, and cold is much better than that. Luke warm is okay, but it’s better if it’s aged, and then it’s really not good to eat. (A kid at choir camp would sell his day old pizza–we could only order them at night, and he’d sell them in the morning for $1 a slice. We had no refrigeration. And, no, I didn’t pay a $1. We became friends, so I got it for free–sometimes a day later.) ---

Love cold pizza, and cold spaghetti. ---

No, not really. I prefer it hot to room temperature. Cold pizza just feels weird in my mouth. ---

Unless it’s ice cream or jello I prefer pretty much all my food to be at least room temperature. Pizza should be hot. ---

I’ll eat it cold sometimes (when I’m both hungry and lazy), but the best way to reheat pizza is in a non-stick pan on the stove – put it on med-low heat for a few minutes, and it will be much closer to its original state than soggy, flimsy microwave reheated pizza. ---

I’ll eat cold pizza if I have to, but I much prefer it warmed up. ---

No, I really don’t. There are so many easy ways to heat it up, I don’t really get this. ---

I’m in the “hot only” camp. Where I come from, cold (well, room temperature) Sicilian-style pizza has a name: focaccia. ---

Cold pizza goes great with hot coffee. Personally, I don’t like _any_ food or beverage room temperature. Reheated pizza is okay, and I’ll eat it that way sometimes if it survives until lunch time. But for breakfast, with coffee? Cold pizza all the way. ---

Cold pizza is ok. Room temperature pizza is not really wanted. I like pizza hot the best. ---
