Enjoy your delicious homemade pepperoni pizza for longer by storing it correctly. Proper refrigeration and freezing techniques ensure optimal flavor and food safety for this beloved comfort food.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.
Temperature
Store refrigerated pizza at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze homemade pepperoni pizza, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual slices or the entire pizza tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in an oven or toaster oven for best results. Freezing may slightly alter the crust's texture.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or rancid smell emanating from the pizza.
- Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy green, white, or black spots.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings.
