If I’m up late on Friday, and the clock ticks over to Saturday, can I then eat the leftover ham and pineapple pizza in the fridge?

EDIT: Don’t say, “You should go to bed.” 🙂

Are you in the U.S.? If so, you can eat meat anytime on Friday, so long as you offer some other form of penance. Of course, one can still choose to abstain from meat on Friday (I do) if they choose that as their penance.
 
Oh, I almost forgot. To answer your question, yes you would be allowed to eat meat after midnight (Saturday morning).
 
The new liturgical day starts at sunset. That it is why we have the Vigil (Saturday evening) Mass. After midnight into the Saturday you are clear to go.
 
There was a famous comedian who had always been harsh and cynical about religion. When we was old and in the hospital, he was seen to be reading the Bible. His friend was quite surprised and asked what he was doing.

I work swing shift at the Post Office. I get up about 10 AM - 11 AM, work 3 PM - 11:30 PM, and get back home after midnight. Bedtime is 2 AM or so.

For me, and for me ONLY, because of this work schedule, I do not eat meat when I get home after midnight Friday. I usually have a hearty serving of some meatless soup. Let’s hear it for New England Clam Chowder!👍

I also fast Wednesday and Saturday. Again, when I get back home after midnight, I observe the fast, have that small snack, and go to bed a little hungry, which is the whole idea.:o

But again, this is due to my work schedule. I would assume that if I was one of those who got up at 6 AM or so…well, midnight is 18 hours later and bring on the sausage and peperoni pizza, with extra cheese and sauce, thank you.
