To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically at a high temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The arugula is usually added after baking to retain its fresh flavor and texture, providing a bright contrast to the warm, melted cheese and crisp crust. Ensure the pizza is heated thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The defining feature of this pizza is its thin crust, which bakes up crispier and lighter than traditional thicker crusts. The use of buffalo mozzarella offers a richer, creamier flavor profile compared to standard cow's milk mozzarella. The addition of fresh arugula post-bake provides a distinct peppery freshness that is not found on most frozen pizzas.
