If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The pizza will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven or microwave until warm.

Tips to Make Crab Rangoon Pizza

Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing. This makes it easier to blend with other ingredients.
Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor, but canned crab can work in a pinch.
Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers or even a sprinkle of hot sauce for some kick.

Variation

You can make this pizza more interesting by adding toppings like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for heat. You can also swap the cream cheese for a blend of cream cheese and ricotta if you prefer a lighter flavor.
