To prepare, simply remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the packaging, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Bake for the specified time, usually 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. For an extra crispy crust, you can place it directly on the oven rack. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike mass-produced frozen pizzas, this Italian wood-fired version is characterized by its thin, airy crust with a rustic char. The high heat of the wood-fired oven creates a unique texture and a subtle smoky flavor that is difficult to replicate in a standard home oven. The toppings are often simpler, allowing the quality of the dough and sauce to shine through.

How to keep the rest
Keep this pizza frozen until ready to use. Store it in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Ensure the packaging remains sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness. Once thawed, do not refreeze.
