Leftover Pizza Should Be Refrigerated

A guy forgot two pizzas in the oven and didn't open the appliance again for two weeks. What resulted might supply penicillin for an entire small country. I can't help but believe alcohol or marijuana may have been involved. The questions raised:

1. Who puts two pizzas in an oven at once?

2. Why didn't he remove the pizzas from the oven when he turned the oven off? Lack of potholders?

3. Why does one even have an oven if you aren't going to use it any more often than once in two weeks?

I've stored leftover pizza in the oven before. After ordering a whole pizza, where does one store it? Re-heating pizza that has been refrigerated is not good, almost as bad a microwaving leftover pizza. I'm a guy doomed to perpetual singleness, so I can relate to this. Rather than firing up the big nasty oven, it's much easier to use the toaster/counter top convection oven. Oh dang, I forgot about that pizza a few weeks ago!

I didn't look at the original thread, but I hope one of the comments was to use the self-cleaning cycle a few dozen times after rediscovering last month's dinner.

1. I always cook 2 pizzas at a time. The pre-made crusts at the grocery store come 2-in-a-pack. And there are 2 racks inside my oven.
2. After cooking, you leave one inside the oven to keep it warm. (Don't know why he didn't remove either pizza, though.)
3. It's hot in south Texas for 11 months out of the year. I don't like turning on the hot box in my kitchen. But during that 1 month when the temperature is below 70, I'm baking a lot!

This reminds me of many years ago when I was in the military. A friend of mine came over to the apartment my wife and I had to watch football on Sunday. He brought over a frozen burrito to cook to eat later while watching the game. We were enjoying a few (ahem!) beers while in front of the TV when he put the burrito in the oven to heat. A week later my wife went to cook something in the oven and discovered that my friend had put the burrito in there but never turned on the oven and forgot that it was even there!
