To prepare this pizza, preheat your oven according to the package instructions, 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 time specified on the package, typically 10-20 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. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
