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 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and slightly browned. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh or take-out pizza, frozen pizza offers longer shelf life and the convenience of being ready whenever you need it. The crust texture and topping distribution may vary from other pizza types due to the freezing and baking process.

How to keep the rest
After baking, store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly and consume within 2-3 days for best quality. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven for optimal results.
