ELI5: How come USDA says you can't eat pizza after it has been sitting for 2 hours at room temp, but you never hear of any problems from people who eat it the next day, and most are doing this often and have been for years?

Most of the meats on a pizza are *cured* meats that are heavily salted or smoked. This reduces the rate of spoilage. In addition, unlike some meats, they come very well cooked.

That doesn't mean you are definitely safe, but it's better than (for example) a burger left out all night.
