What it is

To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, typically 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 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
The defining characteristic is its ultra-thin crust, which bakes up very crisp and brittle. This contrasts with thicker crusts that are often chewy or doughy. The thinness allows the toppings to be the primary focus and cooks much faster.
