To keep your pizza pinwheels fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay good for about 2-3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes at 180°C (350°F) to restore their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving them, as this can make the pastry soggy.
