Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth. For frozen storage, maintain a temperature of -18°C (0°F) or lower.
Freezing
To freeze vegan buffalo pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. For whole pizzas, flash freeze on a baking sheet before wrapping. Thaw frozen pizza in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and toppings, but it's a great way to extend its shelf life.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or off-putting smell emanating from the pizza.
- Slimy or moldy texture on the crust, sauce, or vegan cheese.
- Visible mold growth, especially on the crust or toppings.
- Discoloration of the vegan cheese or buffalo sauce.
