Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Taco Pizza expire?
An unopened, commercially packaged Taco Pizza can last in the fridge for up to a week past the 'Sell By' date on the package. Once it's opened, you should aim to consume it within 3 to 4 days to enjoy its freshest taste. If you cooked a homemade Taco Pizza, try to eat it within a day or two. If frozen, a Taco Pizza can maintain its best quality for 1 to 2 months. Just remember, all these numbers are for quality purposes - while the pizza might not taste as good after these times, it should still be safe to eat if properly stored.
How do you tell if Taco Pizza is bad?
To tell if your taco pizza has gone bad, pay close attention to the smell and sight of it. If you notice a strange or sour smell, it's best to throw it out. If the cheese looks discolored or if you see any signs of mold, it's also a warning that it has gone bad. In addition, if the toppings start to look wet or soggy, it's time to discard the pizza.
Tips for storing Taco Pizza to extend shelf life
• Always store your Taco Pizza in a fridge that's set below 40°F to prevent bacteria from growing.
• If you intend to eat it over the next couple of days, keep it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with aluminum foil.
• To store it for a longer period, freeze it. To do this, wrap it in foil and then put it in a freezer bag. Freeze it as soon as possible to preserve its quality.
• When you are ready to eat your frozen pizza, let it defrost in the fridge overnight rather than using the microwave - this will help maintain a better texture.
• Reheat your pizza in a skillet over medium heat for a crispier crust rather than microwaving it.
