**Tip! – If several slices of pizza have been left out overnight, is the pizza still safe to eat? No. Pizza and other cooked food should never be left out of refrigerator for more than two hours unless kept hot. This is true even if no meat is used. Foodborne bacteria grow fastest at temperatures between 40oF and 140oF and can double in number every 20 minutes. Choose reduced-fat cheese instead of regular cheese to save calories and fat. Substitute lean meats, such as ham, chicken or turkey, for pepperoni and sausage. Load pizza with vegetables, such as corn, broccoli, spinach, green peppers and mushrooms. Cut vegetables into small pieces and let children put on pizza. Try whole-grain pizza crust, halves of whole-grain English muffins or halves of whole-grain bagels to increase fiber.
