Pizza dough freezes well so it pays to make a large batch. Divide up the dough into two balls (most recipes make enough dough for two pizzas) and flatten the ball to be frozen. Cover with plastic wrap then aluminum foil and into the freezer it goes.
Fresh pizza dough can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days though the yeast starts to ferment after a 1/2 day and the pizza dough will smell like beer. Form the dough into a small patty and cover it lightly with olive oil to prevent skinning.

After the dough is frozen, what are the steps to thaw it? How long does it take? Does the dough stay soft?
I keep it wrapped and unthaw it in the refrigerator. It takes about a day to unthaw. If the dough was wrapped properly, the dough will be soft. After a day unthawing, I bring the dough to room temperature where it is ready to roll out.

Keep it in the front of the refrigerator – it will unthaw quicker. My fridge is 38 degrees in the front.
