Why Cold Pizza Tastes So Good

JoN writes "The BBC is running an article about why cold pizza tastes '... so good the morning after.'" Dr Maureen Cooper, a researcher from Stirling University, has found the answer. Apparently the '... traditional pizza base has fibres which trap water, preventing it from seeping through to the cooked dough and making it soggy. Given that fat and water do not mix, the melted cheese topping then sits nicely above the puree.'"

But...

But cold pizza does not taste good. Pizza was made to warm or hot. The melted cheese, the smell of the topings right under your nose, the soft warm crust as it hits your togue when you first bite into it. How easy the pizza folds in half as hold it in your hands.
Cold pizza just sits there, no smell, no warmth, no folding. Cold pizza is like bad sex, ya its still good, but it just sits there, does nothing, does not tantilze you, does not tempt you, does not call your name in the form a smell. It just lays there waiting for you.

PS. I think too much about pizza.

It's only a partial answer...

As a friend of mine says, "The way pizza tastes best is when you wake up, reach over the back of the front seat, and grab a slice of pizza and a warm beer."

So, Dr. Cooper, where's the rest of the explanation?
