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 until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier crust, you can place it directly on the oven rack. Be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary. It is best served hot and fresh from the oven.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional frozen pizzas, French bread pizzas offer a distinct crust texture. The French bread base tends to be chewier and more substantial than a thin crust or a deep-dish style. The half-loaf format also makes it a convenient individual serving size.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover pizza should be cooled completely. Store the remaining portions in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly and consume within a few days for best quality. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
