To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the packaging, 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 recommended time, usually 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. 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
Compared to pizzas with tomato sauce and mozzarella, this version offers a creamier, milder flavor profile due to the ricotta and spinach. The thin crust provides a distinct texture that is less doughy than thicker crust varieties, allowing the toppings to be the primary focus.

How to keep the rest
After baking, any leftover pizza should be cooled completely. Store the leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly and consume within 1-2 days for best quality. Do not refreeze cooked pizza.
