How to Freeze Homemade Pizza
Homemade frozen pizza is obviously far superior to store-bought frozen pizza, and tastes just as delicious as fresh pizza!
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough , homemade or store-bought, at room temperature
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups cheese , such as mozzarella or parmesan
- 2 cups toppings , such as pepperoni, olives, mushrooms or other veggies
Equipment
Instructions
- If you've chosen a homemade pizza crust recipe, prepare according to recipe instructions.
- Roll out the pizza crust into a large circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. Bake at 450°F for 4-5 minutes just until the dough is puffed and surface appears dry. Pizza dough should be very pale still, not browned at all.
- Let the crust cool to room temperature, then cover with toppings of your choice.
- To avoid freezer burn, double wrap the prepared pizzas in plastic wrap. Lay pizzas flat in the freezer and store for up to 2 months.
- When ready to bake: Preheat oven to 500°F. Place frozen pizza(s) on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or directly onto a pizza stone or steel and bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Notes
- All meat pizza toppings (such as sausage, bacon, etc.) should be fully cooked before assembling the pizza for freezing, as bake time is not enough to fully bake raw meat.
- Make pizzas as big or small as you want! You can freeze small individual pizzas or larger pizzas to feed the whole family. Just adjust baking time as needed when ready to enjoy.
