Seafood pizza, a delightful combination of pizza dough topped with various seafood like shrimp, mussels, and calamari, offers a unique culinary experience. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent foodborne illnesses. This guide provides tips on how to store your seafood pizza safely and maximize its shelf life.

Storage Time

1–2 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to slow bacterial growth.

Freezing

To freeze seafood pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and 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 the pizza in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding extra cooking time. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the seafood and crust.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or fishy odor
• Slimy or sticky texture on the seafood
• Visible mold growth on the crust or toppings
• Discoloration of the seafood or cheese
