Carbonara pizza is a delicious variation of traditional pizza, featuring a creamy carbonara sauce base, typically made with eggs, pancetta or bacon, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. This rich and savory pizza is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored properly to extend its shelf life and minimize food waste.

Storage Time

1–2 days in the fridge, up to 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

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

Freezing

To freeze carbonara pizza, first allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. This helps prevent freezer burn and maintains the pizza's flavor. When ready to eat, thaw slices in the refrigerator overnight or reheat directly from frozen in an oven or microwave. Be aware that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and toppings.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or unpleasant smell
• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Visible mold growth
• Discoloration of the ingredients, especially the egg-based sauce
• Hard or stale crust
