Anchovy pizza, a savory delight featuring salty anchovies, cheese, and tomato sauce on a baked crust, requires proper storage to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Whether it's homemade or takeout, understanding the best storage practices ensures you can enjoy every slice safely and deliciously.

Storage Time

1–2 days in the refrigerator, 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.

Freezing

To freeze anchovy pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume within 2-3 months. Thaw frozen pizza in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and anchovies.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or ammonia-like smell
• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Visible mold growth
• Discoloration of the anchovies or cheese
