Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 200°C (400°F). Remove the pizza from its packaging. Place the pizza directly onto the oven rack or a baking tray. Bake for the recommended time, usually between 12 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The hand-stretched dough aims for a chewier crust compared to mass-produced, uniformly shaped pizzas. The combination of spinach and ricotta offers a lighter, creamier filling than traditional tomato-based pizzas with mozzarella, providing a distinct flavor profile.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a convenient and satisfying vegetarian meal.
How to keep the rest
