To prepare, preheat your oven according to the package instructions, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, usually 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier crust, you can place it directly on the oven rack. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
