To prepare this pizza, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging. Carefully 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 until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. For a crispier crust, you can place it on a lower oven rack.
