Worth knowing

Pizza left out overnight is not safe, no matter how many people swear by it. Two hours is the limit.

Store it right

  • Stack slices with parchment between them in an airtight container.
  • Reheat in a hot pan or oven, not the box.

Signs it has gone off

  • Hard, dried, cracked cheese with an off smell.
  • Mold spots on the crust.
  • Greasy, sour toppings.

Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
