Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Mushroom Pizza expire?
An unopened store-bought mushroom pizza should be consumed by the printed date on the package. Once opened or after it's been cooked, it should be eaten within 3 to 4 days if kept in the refrigerator. If you've made a homemade mushroom pizza, it'll stay fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge. If you decide to freeze your mushroom pizza, it can be enjoyed up to 1 to 2 months later.
How do you tell if Mushroom Pizza is bad?
You can tell if a mushroom pizza has gone bad by looking at it and smelling it. First, check the cheese - if it has hardened or developed a strange color (like a yellowish-brown), it has likely spoiled. Also, if the mushrooms look slimy, shriveled, or darker, they're probably expired. Don't forget to trust your nose - if the pizza smells sour, yeasty, or just off, it's better to toss it.
Tips for storing Mushroom Pizza to extend shelf life
• Always store your mushroom pizza in an airtight container - this will keep it from drying out and also prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
• If you're saving your pizza for later, don't leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours.
• If you decide to freeze your pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap first, and then in a layer of aluminum foil. This will help to prevent freezer burn.
• To reheat a refrigerated pizza, use an oven or a toaster oven rather than a microwave - this will help your slice keep its crispy crust.
