Whether you\u2019re having friends coming over or you just want to spice up a family dinner, pizza is always the perfect food choice. And if you\u2019re too busy and need a quick solution, let us be your heroes and teach you how to cook frozen pizza the right way!<\/p>\n

Apart from the obvious tips \u2014 \u201cRead the package instructions!\u201d \u2014 we want to assure you that not all frozen food has to end up a disaster.<\/p>\n

Do you trust us when we say that you are only a few steps away from perfecting your skills in handling frozen meals? Life is busy, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with choosing the easier path.<\/p>\n

Here are the five steps on how to cook frozen pizza that tastes and smells delicious and has all the crispiness in the world!<\/p>\n

1. Trust Yourself to Know How to Cook Frozen Pizza<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s quite obvious that you don\u2019t have to be super skilled and that your kitchen doesn\u2019t have to be super equipped for you to get into cooking frozen meals. However, there are some tricks you want to arm yourself with, and this is the first one of them: trust yourself.<\/p>\n

Kitchen confidence is a real thing. It gives you the ability to try new recipes and feel comfortable doing so. It is one of the most important things when it comes to cooking frozen meals, which often come out not as great as you hoped they would. So, trust yourself and keep reading for the following four tips!<\/p>\n

2. Defrost When It\u2019s Time<\/h2>\n

Should you defrost your pizza, and when should you do that? These are some of the most common dilemmas people have. While defrosting is not a mandatory step \u2014 some instructions will even advise you not to do so \u2014 we recommend you do not skip it.<\/p>\n

If you start baking without defrosting, the top frozen layer will melt all over the toppings. That will result in a soggy crust and won\u2019t taste enviable. But if you thaw your pizza before baking, it will taste even better, and you\u2019ll get the oh-so-satisfying crisps.<\/p>\n

The reason why some instructions state that you should skip defrosting is just because there\u2019s a risk of contamination if you freeze already thawed dough. To avoid that, make sure to defrost it in your fridge overnight, and don\u2019t freeze it more than once.<\/p>\n

3. Preheat the Oven<\/h2>\n

Follow the package directions to find out what temperature they recommend. Most will suggest a preheated oven at 425\u00b0F, but frozen pizzas require temperatures between 375 and 425 \u00b0F, and other packages will even insist on a higher temperature. Anyways, cold ovens and frozen food never go well together! High heat is your best friend here!<\/p>\n

You might want to consider investing in a special pizza oven because it will speed up the whole process and make it easier too. This Ooni pizza oven<\/a> has become one of the best-selling, award-winning brands today, and it bakes perfectly crispy pizzas in less than 60 seconds.<\/p>\n

\"Ooni<\/a><\/p>\n

We know that some families or individuals can\u2019t afford to buy those big, expensive pizza ovens. The brand we mentioned doesn\u2019t take up the entire space in your kitchen or garden and is also affordable.<\/p>\n

4. Prepare the Pizza<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t worry! The greatest minds will probably roll their eyes over this one, too. Even if your frozen pizza has all the toppings, there\u2019s one more thing to consider before putting it inside the oven.<\/p>\n

First of all, remove the pizza from the package (a plastic one or cardboard). We would never suggest cooking it in its original plastic package because your pizza will taste like, well, plastic. You surely don\u2019t want that!<\/p>\n

To ensure that your dinner turns out tasty and evenly baked, use a pizza stone<\/a> or place it directly on the center rack. You want neither burned pizza (baked on top) nor a pizza with cold spots all over it (baked at the bottom). Right? Follow the golden \u201ccenter rack\u201d rule!<\/p>\n

5. Put on Extra Toppings<\/h2>\n

Just when you thought there\u2019s nothing more to do, now this? Do you like your pizza just the way it looks right now? Go ahead and bake it then!<\/p>\n

However, remember when we promised to show you how to cook frozen pizza that tastes out of this universe? Ok, ok, we never said that. But, we want to show you that you can have a great experience while saving plenty of time.<\/p>\n

Put on some extra toppings on top for extra spice! Any vegetables, leftover meat, olive oil, cheese, or sauce you enjoy \u2014 it\u2019s your time to get creative!<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re unprepared, lazy, tired, or unmotivated to cook, go for this guilty pleasure, but don\u2019t feel guilty. After all, you deserve it! Let\u2019s summarize the steps for enjoying that delicious pizza!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trust yourself.<\/li>\n
  2. Defrost in your fridge the night before, and never repeat the process.<\/li>\n
  3. If you don\u2019t have a pizza oven, preheat your oven at 425\u00b0F (if you are used to \u00baC you can do the conversion here<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  4. Remove your pizza from its original packaging, and place it on a pizza stone or directly on a middle rack if you\u2019re not using a pizza oven. (We could add here that you shouldn\u2019t forget your oven mitts!)<\/li>\n
  5. Put on extra toppings, like vegetables, leftover meat, cheese, or sauce. And it\u2019s time to get that pizza cutter rolling!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Everybody\u2019s tastes and methods are different. While some of you wouldn\u2019t enjoy this adventure, others might. Some will even call it a life-changing experience and begin to rely on it often, and others will never buy a frozen meal again.<\/p>\n

    If you don\u2019t mind the soggy crust and can\u2019t be bothered to defrost it, that\u2019s ok. Do you choose not to put any extra toppings because you like the pizza just the way it is? That\u2019s ok, too.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re all individuals. Our goal was to arm you with the best set of advice, and we hope we had a chance to do so. Feel free to experiment and let your individual taste and creativity take center stage. Good luck!<\/p>\n
