Sumario:Bakery industries have been developing and expanding the range of products offered for commercial sale. Pizzas are being well accepted, because they are cheap, easy to prepare and have a good nutritional value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, quality indexes and their relation with colony-forming units (CFU) under refrigeration and room temperature. Results showed that the refrigeration temperature didn’t influence the increase of molds and yeast contamination during storage periods. The level of these microorganisms contents was above maximum limits established by national legislation. This situation suggests that sanitary conditions, during the process, package and storage of the product contribute to the increase of contamination under or without refrigeration temperature. The values of pH and acid index (5,7 and 1,0 mg NaOH.
