Tomato basil pizza is a delicious and convenient meal, featuring a flavorful combination of ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and melted cheese on a crispy crust. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage, ensuring a safe and enjoyable eating experience.

Storage Time

2–3 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

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

Freezing

To freeze tomato basil pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. For individual slices, wrap each separately. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding extra cooking time. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and toppings.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or off odor
• Slimy or moldy appearance on the crust or toppings
• Discoloration of the tomatoes or basil
• Hard or stale crust
