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 at a moderate temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It is important to follow the recommended cooking time and temperature to ensure the pizza is heated through and the crust achieves the desired crispness. Avoid microwaving, as this can result in a soggy crust.
