So I have my whole life put pizza in the fridge when it's done, except on the odd occasion where I've gotten drunk pizza woke up to it out on the bench still.

However focaccia and other bread treats get left on the bench a day or two and no one sees an issue.

How about garlic bread? Fridge? I think so but then again I think of those bacon cheese roles that just live on the bench all the time.

I just don't know anymore

Focaccia is just bread and oil. Pizza has mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce on it, definitely refrigerate. Some aged cheeses might be fine out of the fridge, but not fresh cheeses like mozzarella. I think that after baking (if you get it hot enough and the mozzarella is very crispy), pizza MIGHT be able to survive on the counter for a day or so. But I'd say it's kinda risky, and your pizza gets stale! That's not pleasant.

What are the bacon cheese rolls that you're talking about? Sounds to me like something that should be refrigerated.

This is them,

They're bacon and cheese on a roll, buy in a 6 pack from woolies.

Slice them in half put another piece of ham and cheese inside and bang in the microwave for a minute and they're awesome

That cheese has had most of the moisture cooked or aged out.

This is very different from a pizza where even if you did cook the cheese like that, it's often sitting on a layer of wet sauce.

This might be fine. How does Woolies store them? Are they refrigerated there before you buy them? That's an easy way to decide for most foods: if the grocery store refrigerates them, or if they say "refrigerate after opening" on the package, then you should refrigerate.

And many foods, even if you don't HAVE to refrigerate them, will last longer in the fridge. I personally keep a loaf of sourdough in the fridge because it's slower to mold.

They're just kept on the shelf, same like bread in an air conditioned shop.
