Why Pizza Tastes Better The Next Day (The Science Is Wild)Added:
Leftover pizza from the fridge chiming, somehow better than when it was fresh.
That's not nostalgia. That's chemistry.
When pizza cools, the starch in the crust goes through retrogradation. It restructures into a denser, chewier base that holds flavor differently than fresh dough. Overnight, the sauce, cheese, and toppings stop being separate. They merge. [music] Fat carries flavor deep into the crust. Every bite hits harder the next day. Cold also concentrates the umami in the cheese and sauce though.
Your taste [music] buds pick up deeper, richer flavors. Fresh pizza is great.
Day-old pizza is science. Now you know.
