To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging and any plastic wrap. Place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C), for about 15-20 minutes. The pizza is ready when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
