Here are the food items that you should avoid eating cold:

Pizza

We all love to eat cold leftover pizzas. But let me tell you that cheese and pizza toppings are prone to attract bacteria and many other air-borne microbes which can lead to food-borne illnesses. Additionally, cold pizza tends to have a greasy texture which makes it less tasty and difficult to digest.
