Yeah, it's no good, you need to trash it.

It's best to put it in the refrigerator within a few hours, but it won't hurt to eat it after it's been left out overnight. I've done it before also. We were staying in a motel room that didn't have a refrigerator and ate the leftover pizza for breakfast.

Eat it. Morning after party pizza somehow tastes great. Really.
Mankind has been eating food unrefrigerated for millions of years (that's why we have all those organs inside). The refrigerator is a modern invention that helps preserve food. But bread, cheese, meat, etc. have been eaten weeks old for centuries and centuries.
I'm not suggesting eating week old pizza. But a day? You're fine.

Sniff it, it probably went bad if it's too hot in your area. If not (and it's ike 60-75 degrees in your area), even if the bacteria does grow on your pizza, if it's still fine, then reheat the pizza via oven, it'll be fine and still yummy just like when it was fresh and you'll kill all the bacteria anyway.

It depends on the person. If it sat out and hour and I ate it, I would have diarrhea about 45 minutes afterward. If it sat out for 12 hours and my wife ate it, she wouldn't get sick at all. Some people have a better tolerance for bacteria than others. It really depends on the floral that you have in your system. People who have done extensive traveling tend to have digestive problems more than people who haven't because they have so many difference kinds of bacteria in their floral makeup.

bad habits die hard, but we always left our pizzas in the box in the oven over night, mind you they were already cooked pizzas and nowadays it is frowned upon by health nuts, but i haven't died from eating leftovers in the morning.
i would throw them out if they were just bought frozen and uncooked, and he forgot to freeze them over that time period.

Sorry but I wouldn't eat it if it was left out for more that a couple of hours. Good Luck!
