Meatball pizza, a delicious combination of savory meatballs, rich tomato sauce, and melted cheese on a crispy crust, is a popular choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent foodborne illnesses. Learn how to store your meatball pizza to enjoy it safely later.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, 1–2 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.

Freezing

To freeze meatball pizza, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume within 1-2 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. 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 ammonia-like odor
• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Visible mold growth on any part of the pizza
• Discoloration of the meatballs or cheese
