You wrap it in foil. To reheat it you place it in a preheated oven at 350 for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet. You can microwave it but it is not as good
Sometimes I just close the box & leave it until morning, before I put it in the fridge.
Leftover pizza was not meant to be reheated, it is a dish best served like revenge, cold. The same applies to leftover chicken wings.
with chicken wings, for some reason, the hot sauce actually seem spicier when it is cold.

Any foods that I put in the fridge, i let it cool down first before doing it.
Dont exactly remember why, but pretty sure home ec teachers/cooks would recommend doing that. I think

Rapid cooling can cuse some bacteria
However if you re-heat to 165 dregees the food is safe to eat

I heard that it might damage the fridge if something warm/hot is put into the fridge. Don't know what the logic is though.

LOL whoever said that is nuts...I mean, so if you bring home some groceries and they were in your trunk, and it is sunny, how are you supposed to cool them down? Run them under cold water first?
The only thing that MIGHT cause any semblance of trouble is that the compressor will have to work a little harder to bring the item(s) down to the preset temp of the fridge. But honestly, it is going to run about as much everytime you open the door....remember: when you open the door you remove quite a bit of the cold air that is inside anyway. If you're putting a case of beer or pop or anything grouped together into your fridge they will cool down faster if you separate them a bit to allow air circulation around each item.
As for pizza, if you have any kind of meat on it DON'T leave it out overnight. If you do you're just asking for trouble. For that matter the cheese that's on it is also a magnet for bacteria.
I just throw the box and all into the fridge. Warming up in the over is better than a nuke but who can wait that long (plus the oven is such an electricity hog). Only thing is: don't overheat it in the nuke else your crust will turn to cardboard.
For the past four years,I've been freezing my unused pizza. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour the freeze it. When I'm ready to eat the leftovers, I cook it from the frozen state for 20-30 minutes at 350-400 (loosely covered with tinfoil in the oven so you don't burn the top). The advantage of freezing over simply cooling it in the fridge is that the re-heated frozen pizza has the same consistency and appearance as it did when it arrived from the pizzeria. No discouloured cheese or wimpy, sagging crust bottom. Plus, you can take advantage of 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 specials.
Don't let anything sit around on the counter cooling. Bad idea, as it promotes bacteria growth.
In the fridge asap. Let it cool there.

If you put something hot in the fridge right away, it will simply warm up the fridge endangering everything you've got in there. It should be allowed to cool somewhat first. That's not to say it should be left out until it's at room temperature, but it should be allowed some time so that the fridge can better handle the internal temperature change.
Just leave it outside for the racoons.
It never tastes anywhere near as good when you reheat it.
Same with Sushi. Sushi takes like shit if you put it in the fridge and try to eat it the next day.
