Storage Time

Temperature

Freezing
To freeze crab pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume within 2–3 months.

- Slimy or sticky texture on the pizza's surface, especially on the crab meat.
- Visible mold growth on the crust, cheese, or crab.
