Spinach and ricotta pizza is a delicious and cheesy dish that combines the earthy flavors of spinach with the creamy richness of ricotta cheese. This pizza is best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage is key to maintaining its quality and preventing spoilage. Learn how to store your spinach and ricotta pizza to 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

To freeze spinach and ricotta 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. When ready to eat, thaw the pizza in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding extra cooking time. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and ricotta.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or ammonia-like smell
• Slimy or moldy texture on the crust or toppings
• Discoloration of the spinach or ricotta cheese
• Hard or stale crust
