It is a convenient meal option for individuals or small families.

To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 200-220°C (400-425°F). Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or a baking tray. Bake for the recommended time, usually between 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier crust, you can place it directly on the oven rack.
How it differs from similar foods
The 'stonebaked' aspect refers to the cooking method, which aims to create a crispier crust compared to pizzas cooked solely on a baking tray. The hand-stretched dough also contributes to a more rustic texture and appearance, distinguishing it from uniformly shaped, mass-produced pizzas.
Who it is for
This pizza is suitable for anyone looking for a simple and satisfying meal that requires minimal preparation.
How to keep the rest
Once purchased, keep the pizza refrigerated. It should be consumed by the date indicated on the packaging. If you do not plan to cook it immediately, ensure it remains chilled. Do not refreeze if it has thawed.
