Stuffed crust pizza, a delicious combination of cheesy crust and flavorful toppings, requires proper storage to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Whether it's leftover from a restaurant or a homemade creation, storing it correctly ensures you can enjoy every slice. Proper storage prevents bacterial growth and keeps your pizza tasting its best.

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 stuffed crust 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 2-3 months. To thaw, transfer the frozen pizza to the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. 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 cheese or toppings
• Hard or stale crust
