Can I Freeze This Crustless Skillet Pizza? (+How to Reheat)

You can easily freeze this crustless skillet pizza.

After broiling it and topping with the fresh basil leaves (if you’re using them), you’ll first want to allow the pizza to cool off completely if you’re planning on freezing it.

Once that’s done, we recommend slicing the pizza into 4 equal pieces and then individually wrapping each piece. You can then add the wrapped pieces into an airtight container or a heavy duty freezer-safe bag.

You’ll be able to keep this crustless skillet pizza frozen for up to 2-3 months like this.

When you’re ready to reheat the pizza, you can simply add it back into a skillet and broil it once more until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
