Broccoli and cheddar pizza is a delicious and convenient meal, but proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent foodborne illnesses. This cheesy pizza, topped with fresh broccoli florets, requires careful handling to ensure the crust stays crisp and the toppings remain flavorful.
Storage Time
1–2 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to inhibit bacterial growth.
Freezing
To freeze broccoli and cheddar pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, freeze individual slices. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding extra cooking time until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or ammonia-like smell
- Slimy or moldy texture on the crust or toppings
- Discoloration of the broccoli (yellowing or browning)
- Cheese developing a hard, dry texture or visible mold
