1. Oven Heating (Optimal Taste)
Temperature: Preheat to 200-220°C (frozen pizzas need a higher temperature to thaw and crisp).
Steps:
Remove the pizza from its packaging and plastic wrap. Place it directly on a baking sheet or wire rack (line with parchment paper to prevent sticking).
Bake in the middle rack for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the edges are slightly browned.
Tip:
For a crispier crust, bake the crust separately for 3 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
Frozen pizzas do not need to be thawed; bake directly.
2. Pan Heating (Quick and Energy Saving)
Steps:
Preheat a pan over medium-low heat. No oil is needed.
Place the frozen pizza in the pan and cover with a lid (to lock in heat and melt the cheese).
Heat for 5-8 minutes, until the bottom is crispy. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 1 minute.
Note: Suitable for thin-crust pizzas; thick-crust pizzas may not heat through in the center.
3. Microwave Heating (Fastest but Makes the Pizza Soggy)
Steps:
Place the pizza on a microwave-safe plate with a small cup of water next to it (to prevent it from drying out).
Microwave on medium-high for 1-2 minutes, checking for doneness.
Remedy: After microwaving, you can pan-fry or bake in an oven for another minute to restore crispness.
4. Air Fryer Heating (Excellent Crispy Results)
Temperature: 180-200°C
Steps:
Place the pizza in the air fryer. No preheating required. Heat for 5-7 minutes (flipping occasionally to check).
It's ready when the cheese bubbles and the crust is golden brown.
