Philly cheesesteak pizza combines the best of both worlds: savory sliced steak, melted cheese, and caramelized onions atop a crispy pizza crust. This hearty pizza is a delicious meal, but proper storage is key to maintaining its quality and preventing foodborne illness. Learn how to store your leftover Philly cheesesteak pizza to enjoy it safely later.

Storage Time

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

Temperature

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

Freezing

To freeze Philly cheesesteak 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. For thawing, transfer the frozen pizza to 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 off odor emanating from the pizza.
• Slimy or sticky texture on the cheese or steak.
• Visible mold growth on the crust or toppings.
• Discoloration of the steak or vegetables.
