When does Margherita Pizza expire?

Accepted Answer

A store-bought Margherita pizza typically has a sell-by date printed on its package and can usually stay fresh up to one week past this date if unopened and stored properly. Once opened or after cooking, I'd recommend consuming the pizza within 3-4 days for the best taste and safety. If you decide to freeze your pizza, it can last up to 2 months.

Question 10

How do you tell if Margherita Pizza is bad?

Accepted Answer

If the pizza has an off smell, changes color, or develops mold, these are all signs it may have spoiled. So don't risk it with pizza, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Always look for mold particularly around the edges of cheese and make sure the smell is still fresh. A sour or unpleasant odor is often a tip off that your pizza has gone bad.

Question 11

Tips for storing Margherita Pizza to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always keep your pizza in the fridge - it's not a fan of room temperature!

• Your pizza should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it nice and fresh. If you can't eat it within the recommended 3-4 days, consider freezing it.

• When freezing your pizza, wrap it tight in cling film or put it in a zip lock bag to prevent air from damaging the flavors.

• To thaw your frozen pizza, put it in the fridge 24 hours before you plan to eat it. It helps the pizza thaw evenly and keeps it safe to eat.
