Can I freeze store bought pizza dough?

I know I have bought pizza dough in the past, which says on the package that is was previously frozen, and not to re-freeze. I recently have been buying from a new store that opened by me (Top Tomato~Freehold NJ) and I have no idea if it will work.

I suppose I could try, it only cost .99cents...just thought I could get some ideas here.

Thanks!

    You can refreeze it - it just may not raise at high as it would have normally (typically not a huge issue for pizza dough).

      You can always ask someone at the bakery counter if you could purchase a frozen ball of pizza dough. That is usually the way they get it and then they put it out for sale and it defrosts. I usually dig around and find a ball that hasn't thawed all the way or else I ask for a frozen ball if I am not using it that day or the next day.

        As long as it hasn't been previously frozen you certainly can freeze it.
