It is also necessary to take into account what filling the pizza is made with. If it is baked or boiled meat, then the dish can be preserved for 6 hours, if it is sausage - 4 hours, and if it is fish or seafood, then up to 2 hours.

Pizza can be consumed in a refrigeration device for no longer than 2 days, and in a freezer for up to six months.

If you don’t plan to eat the prepared pizza right away, but want to reheat it after a while, then it should be placed in a large tray or box, covered with a paper towel on top and put in the refrigerator. This way it will stay fresh for half a day. But if each portioned piece is tightly wrapped with cling film, then in this state the pizza can lie in a refrigeration device in a suitable condition for a whole day, or even two.

How to store pizza in the freezer

In this case, it is good when there is a shock freezing function (-18 ° C...-21 ° C.). Before storing in such conditions, each piece of food must be placed in a plastic bag (it is advisable to pump out the air from it) or wrapped in cling film and placed in a container that closes tightly. The shelf life of this pizza is six months. But if the temperature in the freezer is down to -18 °C, then this term will be less.
