Mediterranean pizza, bursting with fresh vegetables, feta cheese, and flavorful herbs, is a delicious and healthy meal option. To maintain its quality and prevent spoilage, proper storage is essential. Whether you have leftover slices or a whole pizza, understanding the best storage practices will help you enjoy it for longer.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, 2–3 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.
Freezing
Mediterranean pizza can be frozen for longer storage, but the texture may change slightly. To freeze, 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 aluminum foil. Thaw frozen pizza in the refrigerator overnight for best results, or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Freezing may affect the crispness of the crust and the texture of the vegetables.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or off-putting smell
- Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
- Visible mold growth on any part of the pizza
- Discoloration of the vegetables or cheese
