How to Store and Reheat

You can prep the pizza dough ahead of time. It will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, or in the freezer for 3-6 months. Allow it to come to room temperature before working with the dough.

Allow any leftover chicken bacon ranch pizza to fully cool before storing slices in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This pizza reheats amazingly well! Microwave it for 20-30 seconds, or at 340˚F for 2-6 minutes in an air fryer. You can read more details in our post on how to reheat pizza in an air fryer.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

  • If you are using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for an hour or so before trying to roll it. Room temp pizza dough is much easier to work with.
  • Fully preheat the oven with the pizza pan in it. Baking the pizza before the oven is hot will lead to a soggy crust.
  • I prefer to par-bake the pizza crust (partially bake) before putting on the toppings. This also helps prevent a soggy crust.
  • Optional: brush the crust of the finished pizza with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkling of garlic salt before serving.
  • If you want to use the grill, cook at 425F for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through. Make sure the grill and pizza pan are fully preheated.
