Caprese pizza, with its fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil, is a delightful twist on a classic Italian salad. This pizza is best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage can extend its shelf life, allowing you to savor its flavors for longer. Learn how to store your Caprese pizza to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage.
Storage Time
1–2 days in the refrigerator, not recommended for freezing due to the high moisture content of the toppings.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to inhibit bacterial growth and maintain freshness.
Signs of Spoilage

- Slimy or excessively wet texture on the mozzarella or tomato slices.
- Visible mold growth on any part of the pizza, including the crust, cheese, or toppings.
- Discoloration of the basil, turning dark or black.
