To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically 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, usually 12-18 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. Always ensure the pizza is heated thoroughly before serving.
