To leave it cooler ?

Is is grammatically correct if I say :

A : What are you going to do with this hot pizza ?
B : I'm going to leave it cool/cooler for a while.

I'm not sure which word can use in this sentence.

Thank you.

Obviously, you need the verb there, not the adjective. I'm going to leave it cool for a while. A more common way to say this would be I'm going to leave it (to) cool off for a while.
