Expiration & Storage Tips
When does White Pizza expire?
A ready-to-eat store-bought white pizza will usually have a use-by date printed on the packaging and under optimal refrigeration conditions (below 40°F), it stays good for about 3-4 days after this date. Once you've baked the pizza, you should ideally consume it within 2 hours. If you want to store the leftovers, they should be good for 3-4 days in the fridge. If you freeze the pizza, either unbaked or baked, it can last up to 2 months.
How do you tell if White Pizza is bad?
You can tell if the white pizza has gone bad by the presence of a sour or off smell. Also, if you see any spots of mold (which can be of various colors -looking for green, blue, or black patches), then that's a clear sign that the pizza has spoiled. The taste can also indicate this; if it tastes off or sour, it's best to discard the pizza.
Tips for storing White Pizza to extend shelf life
• Always store your white pizza in a refrigerator below 40°F if you do not intent on immediately consuming it.
• Leftovers should be tightly wrapped in cling film or aluminum foil, or stored in airtight containers to avoid exposure to air, which can dry it out and lead to spoilage.
• If you plan on freezing your pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to avoid freezer burn.
• When defrosting, white pizza should be moved from the freezer to the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before reheating and consuming.
