Pepperoni Pizza

Pepperoni pizza is a beloved and popular restaurant and homemade dish featuring thin, spiced slices of pepperoni sausage laid generously atop a classic blend of Italian tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on a hand-tossed or thin crust dough base. Originating in the United States in the early 20th century, it has evolved into a global comfort food, with countless home cooks and pizzerias putting their spin on this fan favorite. To add depth and variation to pepperoni pizza, one can experiment with different crust styles, additional toppings, or zesty sauces like garlic oil or spicy marinara. Pairing a slice with a crisp salad or serving it as part of a game-night menu, pepperoni pizza remains a versatile and satisfying staple for families and gatherings alike.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Pepperoni Pizza expire?
When bought from a grocery store, an unopened, refrigerated pepperoni pizza usually lasts for 1-2 weeks. Once opened, it typically lasts 3-4 days if refrigerated. If the pizza is homemade and refrigerated, it should be enjoyed within 3 days for the best taste and safety. When in the freezer, whether store-bought or homemade, pepperoni pizza can last for 1 to 2 months.
How do you tell if Pepperoni Pizza is bad?
Checking if a pepperoni pizza has gone bad isn't too complicated. First, look for any visible signs of mold, which would appear as fuzzy spots in various colors (white, green, or black typically). The pizza might also have a sour or off smell. If it has been in the fridge for too long, the crust could be extremely hard or the cheese may have dried out. Also, check the pepperoni; if it has become dark or possibly slimy, your pizza is past its prime.
Tips for storing Pepperoni Pizza to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate or freeze your pizza within two hours of cooking or buying. • Store leftover slices in airtight containers or ziplock bags to keep them from drying out. • If freezing, consider separating slices and freezing each individually wrapped to make it easy to grab just one or two slices at a time. • When defrosting, put the frozen pizza into the fridge for a couple of hours. Heat it in the oven at 350°F until hot in the center, usually about 10-15 minutes.
