What it is

To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the packaging, usually around 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the specified time, typically 15-25 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
Unlike frozen pizzas, this take-and-bake option is made fresh and has not been previously frozen. This often results in a fresher taste and texture, with a crust that can be crisper. It also allows for a shorter baking time compared to some frozen varieties.
