I'll admit that I do eat both cold. Sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch, but never for dinner.

How about you?

I eat cold pizza, I've never tried cold pasta. I think it tastes delicious, sometimes even better than the pizza when it's warm. I love to eat it for lunch.

I don't have pizza often but when I do, the only time I eat it warm is when it's fresh. Otherwise I will only eat it chilled from the fridge or at room temperature.

Pasta is hit and miss. It depends on what it is. Lasagna most often cold. Things like spaghetti or other types, usually warmed up to just barely above room temperature.

I really detest hot (as in heat) food. I even prefer soup at room temperature or chilled, no matter what the kind.

Definitely. We make homemade pizza but rarely have leftovers. If there are leftovers they are eaten promptly the next meal. Take out pizza is delicious then or leftover the next day in the fridge. But the crust has to be crispy before it is cold.
I make cold pasta salads. They are yummy!
I like frozen fruit too, frozen blueberries make a great snack. And I keep nuts in the freezer.

I eat cold pizza and cold pasta, but not too often. Usually it only happens if I'm just too hungry to wait for it to heat up in the microwave for a whole minute.
Pasta I'm not crazy about cold because even when mixed with sauce it stays clumped together, plus if it's a sauce with olive oil or cream or cheese, it's too congealed to be appetizing for me cold. However, I think pizza is just fine when cold.

I love cold pizza or pasta for breakfast. If there were leftovers of it every single day, I'd probably eat breakfast all the time.
I just love savory foods for breakfast or when I skip a meal and suddenly remember I haven't eaten. But when it comes to lunch or dinner, I'd much rather have a freshly made meal.

I never ever ever eat cold pizza
. And, as someone who doesn't really enjoy pasta, I have never had that cold either. I can't even imagine eating either pizza or pasta chilled without nearly gagging. Like, seriously.

I'm very particular about what I eat. Admittedly, I do have obsessive-compulsive disorder and have struggled with eating disorders from the age of, at least, 8 years old. So, when I eat, it is very specific. I also have a number of health and immune-related issues that are managed by diet and I am not one to take risks. My whole family would eat cold pizza and pasta, but it would gross me out and I'd end up not eating since the sight and smell disgusted me so much. But, apparently, this is common and I'm the one that's weird. And, that's okay with me, I guess.

I think it's interesting how many people do like cold pizza, pasta, and the like. I'm all for it...for everyone else. It's just not for me, you know? My brother even eats cold Chinese food. And, before I gag, I'll just stop at that. But, this is an intriguing topic -- even if it makes my stomach churn

I hate cold pizza, I reheat it. From time to time I'll eat plain cooked pasta cold though

yep! Cold pizza! Not cold pasta.. SOME pasta is good cold(pasta salad!)

I only eat fresh out of the oven pizza or pizza that has been cold. I don't reheat.. it gets stiff and chewy.

Um EWWWWW is all Ive got to say about cold pasta or pizza...Im the type of person who kills microwaves because I insist that when something gets reheated it MUST be hotter than when originally cooked!! I can handle pasta that is supposed to be cold like pasta salad but spaghetti heavens NO pizza NEVER its got to be scalding bubbling horrendously HOT for me to eat it.

I'm a big pizza hound, whether it's hot, warm, or cold. Around here, we've always eaten cold pizza. I can eat some pasta cold, spaghetti or lasagna is delicious cold, so is mac and cheese. I love to make my tuna and noodles casserole and eat the cold leftovers.

Our son used to take packed lunches to school; he preferred a bagged lunch to the crap the school would serve. And he'd take a slice of cold pizza in his lunch sometimes.

I hate cold pizza... ew! And I've never tried cold pasta, but I'm not really that interested. I always eat stuff like that nice and hot. I'm also very picky about things I eat, and how they're prepared.

I don't mind eating cold pizza slices if they are part of a buffet menu at family gatherings, that's the only time I will eat it like that...as for the cold pasta, I love it!
