Place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, depending on your preference and the pizza's design. Bake for the time specified on the package, typically 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
