Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below. For freezing, maintain a freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F) or lower.

Freezing

To freeze vegan mushroom pizza, first allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. For optimal quality, 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. Reheating in the oven is recommended to maintain the crust's crispness.

Signs of Spoilage

• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Sour or ammonia-like odor
• Visible mold growth on any part of the pizza
• Discoloration of the mushrooms or plant-based cheese
