Pizza is a dish of Italian origin, consisting of a flat round base of dough baked with a topping and cheese, typically with added meat, fish, and vegetables. It is one of the most popular foods, sold as fresh or frozen either whole or in portions in the world and is a common fast food item in Europe and North America. A frozen pizza is a ready-to-eat pizza that can be stored in refrigerators and consumed when required. Shelf life of frozen pizza is in the range of six months to one year, depending upon the method of preparation. Freezing is one of the most widely used methods of food preservation as it retains texture, taste, and nutritional value of food for a longer duration. Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species providing a significantly extended shelf life. The busy lifestyle of the working population and change in eating habits of consumer has increased the demand for instant and convenient food products, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the frozen pizza market.
