Wrap it Up: Wrap the leftover pizza in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to keep the pizza from drying out and prevents it from absorbing any odors or flavors from other foods in the refrigerator.
Use an Airtight Container: If you have a large amount of leftover pizza, its best to store it in an airtight container. This helps to prevent air from getting in and keeps the pizza fresh for a longer period of time.
Store in the Refrigerator: Store the wrapped or containerized pizza in the refrigerator for up to four days. After that time, its best to discard it.

How to cook cheeseburger meat for pizza topping (can make a day ahead)
- Brown ground beef burger meat. Add ground beef, diced onions, and olive oil to a large skillet set on medium heat or med - high heat. Add salt and pepper.
- Stir burger meat until done, for about 10 minutes, reducing temperature to medium-low as the liquid cooks out of the pan. Beef burger meat is done cooking when its no longer pink inside. Transfer burger pizza topping to a paper towel lined plate and set aside, or refrigerate until its time to make the pizza.
How to make ground beef taco style pizza (grill or oven-bake it)
- Rise dough for pizza, hours before baking / grilling it.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (with pizza baking stone / pizza pan in it - or preheat it to whatever pizza stone temperature is safe for the stone youre using). OR Preheat the grill to high, about 500 degrees F (also with pizza stone in it) and close the lid of the grill while it heats up.
- Prep pizza dough for parbaking. Sprinkle half the flour on a large work surface (like a cutting board) and put half the flour to the side of the board to use as needed to stretch the dough.
- Stretch pizza dough. (Beginners should watch this pizza dough stretching tutorial on Sip Bite Go for help with this step.)
- Bake or grill pizza dough crust on stone with sesame seeds. Carefully remove pizza stone from the oven/grill and prepare the crust quickly. First, brush half the olive oil on the pizza stone. Add the stretched raw pizza dough on top. Brush the rest of the olive oil on the outside inch of the pizza dough crust. Then sprinkle sesame seeds on the crust area.
- Make the cheeseburger pizza sauce. To a mixing bowl, add mayo and half the ketchup. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Bake pizza dough naked (without the rest of the toppings) for 8 minutes on the middle / top rack in the oven. OR grill cheeseburger pizza crust for 5 minutes, with the grill lid closed. When done, the bottom will be starting to set, barely browned, but more solid than raw dough. Remove pizza from oven / grill (sometimes I leave the pizza on the grill to assemble the toppings).
- Add cheeseburger pizza toppings to parbaked crust. Dont add any toppings to the area with the sesame seeds on the crust. First, add dollops of cheeseburger pizza sauce on the parbaked dough and spread it around. Then top with mozzarella cheese. Add cooked ground beef burger meat on top. Then finish with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Bake ground beef taco pizza in the oven at 475°F for 8-12 minutes, or grill the pizza for about the same time at 500 degrees F. Its done when the cheese is melted and starts to bubble. The pizza crust on the bottom will be golden brown.
- Cool and serve hamburger pizza with pickles and mustard. Transfer pizza to a cutting board and finish with pickle slices and mustard. Slice and enjoy when burger pizza is cool enough to eat.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
Youll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer - a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app - gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer - which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
Its like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I dont have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as its cooking. Without having to take it out and check. Its really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!
