Food Safety: How dangerous is it to eat pizza that has been sitting out at room temperature for over 12 hours?
I order a pizza on Friday but don't eat it all. I decide I will eat the rest 24 hours later. Does stuffing the pizza in a box or plastic bag and keeping it in the refrigerator really make the pizza safer to eat tomorrow than if I had just left it on the counter for 24 hours? If so, why?
