French Bread Pizza

An unopened store-bought French Bread Pizza could stay good for 1 to 2 weeks past the sell-by date when stored in the refrigerator. Once opened, it should ideally be consumed within 3-4 days. If it's homemade, consume within same time frame. When frozen, the pizza would be at its best quality within 2 months, yet can be safely eaten long past this date, potentially up to a year.

To figure out if your French Bread Pizza has gone bad, trust your senses! Check if the pizza has a funky smell, mold growth, or a change in texture - namely a hard, dry feel. If the cheese or toppings develop off colors (like a noticeable darkening or the presence of a green or black mold), it's time to throw it out.

• Store your French Bread Pizza in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. This decreases the risk of bacterial growth. • For freezing the pizza, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap to prevent freezer burn. It's a good practice to put a label with the freeze date. • If you've baked your pizza and have leftovers, let it cool at room temperature first, but not longer than 2 hours. Then, store it in airtight containers. • To maintain the fresh taste and texture, consider separating the pizza slices before freezing. This way, you can easily thaw and heat just the amount you need without the entire pizza losing its quality.
