To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging. Place it directly on an oven rack or a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Some variations may allow for microwave preparation, but oven baking usually yields a crispier crust. Ensure the pizza is heated thoroughly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
