The Ultimate Guide to Preserving Pizza Flavor

You can maintain pizza’s original taste at home with minimal effort by adhering to these proven methods

Wait until the pizza is no longer warm to the touch before refrigerating

Don’t leave it out for more than two hours to avoid bacterial growth

Don’t put it in the fridge while it’s still hot either because that can create condensation and make the crust mushy

Insert a barrier of paper between every slice to avoid sticking

It keeps the toppings and melted cheese from fusing during storage

Place the slices in a single layer inside an airtight container

If you don’t have a container that fits all the slices flat, stack them with paper between each one

Never cover pizza with plastic wrap, as it creates a humid environment that soggies the crust

Keep your pizza chilled at 40°F or colder for maximum freshness

Properly stored, it remains tasty for as long as four days

Avoid using a microwave to reheat your pizza

Reheat using a cast iron or nonstick skillet on medium flame
