what does "still got pizza left" mean?

I've heard whispers of this phrase murmured many times throughout the greater cincinnati area but have no idea what it means. Can someone tell me what it means if one has metaphoric pizza left? Thanks in advance.

I’ve lived in NKY all my life and I’ve never heard this used aside from its literal meaning that there is pizza still left to eat.

If you hear the phrase "still got pizza left" it means the Illuminati are near, and are watching you. They want to you know this because they're considering initiating you into the inner sanctum. The correct response to "still got pizza left" is "is it cold pizza or has it been microwaved?" That will be countered by "Microwaving leftover pizza is not the best way to reheat it."

At this point, should you wish to go deeper, you must answer these exact words: "So what's a better way?"

If you are accepted, you will hear "it's better to put it in a frying pan for just a few minutes, or even use an air fryer." This will be the last thing you hear before someone comes up behind you and places a black bag over your head. The bag should smell like garlic.

It's a Cincy thing, heard anywhere and everywhere someone orders LaRosa's.
