In some cases eating the mushroom "causes mild reactions ... for example, "swollen lips" or in rare cases "nausea, vomiting, dizziness and disorientation" to those who are sensitive. This is believed to be due to a number of factors that include allergies to the mushroom's protein or toxins which are only somewhat stable at high temperatures.

I'll eat portabellos if they come on pasta or pizza (though I've started taking them off the latter because they turn to rubber in the microwave) but I sure as hell am not going out of my way to order any dish that features them (mushrooms) as the main protein.

pizza

microwave

I don't think the mushrooms are the problem in that situation

Bite me, I don't have the counter space for a toaster oven and I'm not heating up the actual oven every time I want a leftover slice.

If the pizza is made from quality ingredients to begin with, it survives microwaving decently well. Mushrooms just refuse to play ball.

If the pizza is made from real quality ingredients to begin with you should be comfortable with eating it cold judgement eyes

I think it's perfect part cold and part warm... Best of both worlds.
