Many agree that the best thing about pizza is having some left over for the next day. As long as it’s put away with care, leftovers will taste delicious for a next-day lunch or snack. However, leaving it in the box overnight may stale the crust. Don’t let your slices get dry and tough in the fridge. Use these tips for ensuring your leftovers stay fresh and flavorful.

3 Tips for Storing Leftover Pizza

1. Stack It on a Plate

Instead of leaving leftovers in the box, stack slices on a plate. A stacked plate of pizza takes up less space. Place a paper towel between each slice and another on top not only to keep pieces from sticking together but also to trap moisture in the crust and cheese. When you’re ready for another slice, grab one off the top. You can enjoy leftover pizza by reheating it or enjoying it cold.

2. Zip Into a Freezer Bag

A resealable freezer bag is an even better option for storing pizza if it isn’t too saucy or topped with too many loose morsels. Use bags to portion out servings so your family can carry a few slices to work or school.

3. Wrap Up in Plastic Wrap

If you want leftover pizza to last a few days, combine the plate-stacking method with some plastic wrap. After placing a sheet of plastic wrap between each slice, securely wrap the entire stack before putting it in the fridge. When you’re ready to reheat, your pizza leftovers will be good as new.
