Enjoy your delicious homemade vegetable pizza for longer by storing it correctly! This guide ensures optimal freshness and safety for your freshly baked or leftover pizza, packed with vibrant vegetables and savory toppings.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated pizza at or below 4°C (40°F). For freezing, maintain a consistent freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

To freeze homemade vegetable pizza, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices or the entire pizza tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in an oven or toaster oven for best texture. Freezing may slightly alter the crispness of the crust and the texture of some vegetables.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off odor emanating from the pizza.
• Visible mold growth on the crust, sauce, or toppings.
• Slimy or sticky texture on the cheese or vegetables.
