Howie Slice it - The Pizza Blog

Whether you are making a pizza at home or grabbing take out from the Hungry Howies® pizza menu, you may wonder how long to bake pizza. As with many things, the answer is, it depends. Baking time depends on how big the pizza is, how thick the crust is, how many toppings are on it, and whether it is fresh or frozen. That’s a lot to cover, so let’s dig in.

One of the most common questions we hear at Hungry Howie's® is "how long does pizza last in the fridge?"
