To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging and any plastic wrap. Place the frozen pizza directly on an oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically at a moderate temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It is important to ensure the pizza is heated thoroughly before serving. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The defining characteristic of this pizza is its 'double stuff' crust, meaning it has a thicker, layered dough base compared to thin crust or regular crust pizzas. This provides a chewier texture and a more filling bite. The increased dough volume also means it holds toppings well.
Who it is for
This pizza is often chosen by individuals or families looking for a simple and satisfying meal solution.
How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover pizza should be wrapped tightly or placed in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator and consume within a few days. For longer storage, it can be frozen, though the crust texture may change upon reheating.
