Cold Pizza
I know single men are supposed to like cold pizza for breakfast, but I don't.
However, I find it makes excellent omelet filler. I cut it into bite-sized squares, arrange them in the frying pan, then pour whipped egg in and around. Cover, flip once, it's the best.

Re: Cold Pizza
With microwaves, why would the pizza need to be cold?

Re: Cold Pizza
I like cold pizza as well, I'll eat just about any cold left overs for breakfast.
Re: Cold Pizza
Uhh, I'm eating cold pizza now. Like many foods, pizza is better the next day.

Re: Cold Pizza
I find reheating in the microwave makes it soft and gooey. I prefer left-over pizza cold, too.

Re: Cold Pizza
Do not reheat in a microwave. They always make any bread product gooey.
For reheating pizza, put in in the oven, right on the rack. If you're worried about stuff falling off (oh, come on. we're guys. be serious.) then put it on a cooling rack or something else with a fine open mesh. That way the moisture from the crust can escape and it won't be soggy.
I find it makes excellent omelet filler.
Congratulations. You've just made a variant on French toast. Now with pepperoni. (grin)
Edited to add, that also sounds like a po' boy fritatta. Without all the stuffy fancified cooking words.
So saying...for those of you who live near and revere Five Guy's Burgers. All those excellent french fries they give you that you can never eat all of them? Save them. Chop them up. They make the most awesome hash browns the next day.

Re: Cold Pizza
I'm not much of a "pizza for breakfast" guy, but do enjoy cold pizza for lunch. But that does sound like a promising recipe there, El Chivo. I'll have to give it a try (if the boss will let me in her kitchen )

Re: Cold Pizza
IMO good pizza is always better fresh but the wife will sometimes grab a couple frozen pizzas while leaving work if she's really not in the mood to cook. I've yet to find a frozen pizza that isn't better the next day and cold.

Re: Cold Pizza
Think my favorite cold-next-day is the Canadian bacon and pepperoni with pineapple although we sometimes get the white sauce garlic chicken, also awesome on day two, at 7 a.m.!
Re: Cold Pizza
My big gut is prolly half pizza....I've never found a bad way to eat it... (and, now I have a new way to try )
FWIW, the Papa Murphy crust seems to hold up good in the microwave, if you don't nuke too long..

Re: Cold Pizza
I'm not sure cold pizza mixed with stirred eggs really qualifies as an omlette. Does sound tasty though.
Back in my iron gut bachelor days I do not recall having any requirement that 'aged' pizza be cold.
Room temperature and 'there' was all I needed. As long as it smelled OK and nothing (visible) was growing.
I guess I haven't changed much.
I think the only rule applied now is that if SWMBO hasn't thrown it out, it must be edible... right?

Re: Cold Pizza
Cold pizza lover here too... However, when I want to reheat some I use a large frying pan...I can control things better than in the oven and wind up with a nice crispy crunchy crust that I love without having the topping all over the place...

Re: Cold Pizza
Okay, the previous mention of chili got to me. Took the wife out for lunch, had a chili size. Lots of cheese and grilled onions, sigh, I'm content.

Re: Cold Pizza
Why are those things called a chili size???
Re: Cold Pizza
A chili size is an open face burger with chili poured over it.
There was a place in Flagstaff years ago (Crazy Bills Steak House) that did a really good chili size. A buddy and I would go in and get the double, thats double burger meat, and we'd get double jalapenos on it also, enough to have a jalapeno in every bite.

Re: Cold Pizza
OS, why they are called a chili "size" is a mystery to me. But I've thought that maybe it's a bastardization of chili "side", as in a side of chili with a burger. However the name came about, it's one of man's perfect foods. Meat, bread, cheese, onions and chili. What more could one ask for. Oh, and they scream for a liberal dose of tabasco on top.

Re: Cold Pizza
The story, from a early 20s book called "The Great Chili Confrontation" by H. Allen Smith, goes like this:Old Savage wrote:Why are those things called a chili size???
There used to be a 24-hour chili parlor called "Ptomaine Tommy's" in Los Angeles. It was the largest and best known chili parlor in town. Ptomaine Tommy served straight chili and a Southwestern variation, a hamburger smothered with chili. He had two ladles, a large and a small. When a customer ordered straight chili, he got the large ladle. When he wanted the other, he usually said, "Hamburger size." So Ptomaine Tommy put up one sign that said Hamburger Size 15¢ and another that said Chili Size 20¢.
That is... "hamburger size" was a hamburger with a small ladle of chili, and "chili size" was actually just a large ladle of chili. The name "size" stuck and became synonymous with the chili itself. Somehow, over time this got switched around, and the "chili size" became associated with the chili plus hamburger. And now a "chili size" is a chili burger. The term is still mostly confined to the chili joints of Los Angeles.
The moral of the story: don't buy chili from a place called "Ptomaine Tommy's".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It actually IS an L.A. thing. Back in the 1920s, there was a chili parlor called Ptomaine Tommy's and he is credited with creating the first chili burger. His beanless chili was served two ways: 1.) in a bowl with beans and other fixins; and 2.) over a hamburger, much like the chili burger we know today. He had two different sized ladles for dispensing the chili, so he hung a sign up that read, "Hamburger size: 15¢" and another sign, "Chili size: 20¢".
If someone wanted the chili burger, he'd get the hamburger size ladle; for a bowl of chili, the larger "chili size" ladle. WELL, somewhere along the way, he began serving an open-faced chili burger with the CHILI SIZE ladle so that it smothered the burger and bun with a bowlful of chili. This is how the CHILI SIZE menu item came to be.
Other restaurants began copying the new creation. I have seen menus with "Cheeseburger Size" and "Hamburger size" as well as "Chili Size" but they all seem to mean the same thing: and open-face chili burger. The biggest mystery is why people began calling chili "size," as in "Gimme a bowl of size!" I guess the two terms just became synonymous for a while.

Thanks for the information. There are some hamburger joints here in the Central Valley, like in Fresno, that offer "Chili Size" meals. I have always wondered about the semantics involved, but then quickly forgot to research it as the stomach urgings overtook the higher reasoning parts of my brain.

Well, now I know. Won't change my eating habits one bit, but sometime in the future I can whip out this bit of arcane knowledge and impress my wife (yea, like that's gonna happen).
