To prepare, preheat your oven according to the package directions, usually around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the time specified on the box, typically 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

How to keep the rest
After baking, store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly. It can be reheated in the oven, microwave, or a toaster oven for a quick meal later.
