To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging. Place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The rising crust will puff up as it cooks, creating a thicker base than thin-crust varieties. Ensure the pizza is heated through before serving.
