To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging and any plastic wrap. Place it directly on an oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, usually at a moderate to high temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times can vary depending on your oven and desired crispness. It's best to watch it closely during the final minutes of baking to prevent burning.
