Arugula and parmesan pizza, a delightful combination of peppery greens and savory cheese on a crispy crust, requires proper storage to maintain its flavor and texture. Whether it's leftover slices or a whole pie, understanding the best storage methods ensures a delicious experience every time.

Storage Time

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

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to inhibit bacterial growth.

Freezing

To freeze arugula and parmesan pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. For a whole pizza, wrap it in several layers of plastic wrap and then foil. Thaw frozen pizza in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and arugula, but it's a great way to extend its shelf life.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or rancid smell
• Slimy or moldy appearance on the crust or toppings
• Discoloration of the arugula (yellowing or browning)
• Hard or stale crust
• Off flavors when tasted
