Savor the classic taste of Margherita pizza, a delightful combination of fresh mozzarella, vibrant tomato sauce, and fragrant basil atop a perfectly baked crust. Properly stored, this Italian favorite can be enjoyed for days, retaining its delicious flavors and textures.

Storage Time

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

Temperature

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

Freezing

To freeze leftover Margherita pizza, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in an oven or toaster oven for optimal crispness. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and toppings.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off odor emanating from the pizza.
• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings.
