To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging. Place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, depending on the instructions. Bake in a preheated oven at the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking time typically ranges from 12 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
