Wood-fired pizza, known for its smoky flavor and crispy crust, is a delicious treat best enjoyed fresh. However, proper storage is crucial to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Whether you have leftover slices or want to save some for later, understanding the best storage practices will help you enjoy your pizza at its finest.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, 2–3 months in the freezer
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.
Freezing
To freeze wood-fired 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 2–3 months. To thaw, transfer the frozen pizza to the refrigerator overnight or reheat directly from frozen in an oven or skillet. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or unpleasant odor
- Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
- Visible mold growth
- Discoloration of toppings
- Hard or stale crust
