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 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. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
