Roman-style pizza, known for its crispy, airy crust and delicious toppings, is a culinary delight best enjoyed fresh. However, proper storage is key to maintaining its quality and preventing food waste. Whether you have leftover slices or want to prepare ahead, understanding how to store Roman-style pizza correctly will ensure a tasty experience every time.

Storage Time

1–2 days in the refrigerator, 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

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

Freezing

To freeze Roman-style pizza, first allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. This prevents freezer burn and maintains the pizza's flavor. When ready to eat, thaw the slices in the refrigerator overnight or reheat directly from frozen in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until heated through and the crust is crispy. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust, making it less crispy than freshly baked.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or unpleasant odor
• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Visible mold growth
• Discoloration of toppings, especially meats or vegetables
