What it is
This is a pre-made pizza with a thin, crispy crust. It typically comes frozen and is topped with sauce, cheese, and various other ingredients.

To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging. Place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, usually at a high temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, as thin crusts cook quickly. Serve hot.
