I don’t like the pizza cold, I put it a warm oven just long enough to get it warm. Wings? I don’t like Chicken wings so they don’t get ordered. ---

I picked reheated pizza, cold wings. But I’ve been known to eat pizza cold. Bread (crust), tomatoes (sauce), cheese, sausage (pork-based)–it’s practically an open-faced ham and cheese sandwich. Cold chicken is great for a picnic or any other time. ---

Cold pizza. Unless it’s already cold in the room. I hate eating cold stuff in a cold room. I can’t offer an opinion on the wings as mine are always either fresh or 98.6 degrees. ---

Heat’em both. The only cold leftover is ice-cream. ---

Cold pizza is awesome, ironically the cheaper the pizza the better it tastes in the morning. But cold post-fried food is disgusting, nuke that shit if you’re even going to bother. ---

Wings must never be allowed to become leftovers. ---

I said I’d keep them both cold, but technically I would never get extra hot wings. I just went with what I normally do with spicy foods–they almost always taste better cold. And there’s also the fact that I’m on a trial gluten-free diet under doctor’s orders, but I think it silly to limit myself in hypotheticals. ---

Hot pizza is fine. (Pizza are good anytime!) But I prefer both of them cold—for breakfast. Just like pumpkin pie. That’s a vegetable, right? ---

I don’t do wings. But nearly all takeaway food from the night before has a certain piquancy eaten cold and dried up the next day. This particulary works for curries and pizza, less so for chinese, and not at all for kebabs or chips (Fries) ---

Warm it up, Kris. If they were meant to be eaten cold, they’d be served cold. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/leftover-pizza-and-hot-wings-eat-cold-or-warm/608425.md?page=1)
