To prepare, preheat your oven according to the package instructions, typically around 400°F (200°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 box, usually between 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once removed from the oven, the fresh arugula is added to the top.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pizzas where toppings are baked on, the arugula on this pizza is added after baking. This preserves its fresh, vibrant flavor and slightly peppery bite, offering a contrast to the cooked elements. The crust is designed to be thin and crisp, distinguishing it from thicker, doughier pizza bases.
Who it is for
This pizza is for anyone seeking a convenient and flavorful frozen meal.
How to keep the rest
Keep this pizza frozen until ready to prepare. Once baked, any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 1-2 days. Reheat thoroughly before eating.
