Salami pizza, a delicious combination of savory salami, melted cheese, and flavorful tomato sauce on a baked crust, is a popular choice for a quick meal. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent foodborne illnesses. Whether it's leftover pizza or a freshly made one, understanding how to store it correctly will ensure it remains safe and tasty.
Storage Time
1–2 days in the refrigerator, 1–2 months in the freezer, do not store at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below. For freezing, maintain a freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F).
Freezing
To freeze salami pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume within 1-2 months. To thaw, transfer the frozen pizza to the refrigerator overnight or reheat directly from frozen in an oven or microwave. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and toppings.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or unpleasant odor
- Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
- Visible mold growth
- Discoloration of the salami or cheese
- Hard or stale crust
