To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Remove the pizza from its packaging. Place the frozen pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, typically 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh or refrigerated pizzas, frozen pizzas require no additional preparation beyond baking. The crust texture can vary; some are thin and crispy, while others are thicker and chewier. The cheese blend is pre-applied, offering a consistent flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly. Leftovers are best consumed within a few days for optimal quality and taste.
