Preheat your oven according to the package directions, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Remove the pizza from its packaging. Place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the time specified on the package, usually 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pizzas that often use dairy cheese, this vegan version relies on a flavorful pesto sauce and plant-based ingredients. The hand-stretched crust offers a slightly chewier texture compared to mass-produced, uniformly thin crusts, providing a more artisanal feel.
