HOW TO BAKE A frozen TAVERN STYLE PIZZA

We’ve made our ultimate guide to baking one of our famous frozen tavern style pizzas! To get that same delicious restaurant quality taste, follow our steps below!

 

1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 425°F


Wait until the oven is fully heated! A fully heated oven will make sure that the pizza comes out hot and delicious. You want to make sure that your oven is nice and toasty! While you’re waiting for your oven to preheat, make sure to recycle our packaging!

2. PLACE PIZZA IN CENTER RACK OF OVEN


Place the pizza in the center of the oven. If the pizza is too close to the bottom of the oven, the crust will burn, and if it is too high in the oven, it won’t cook properly! Do not put the pizza on a pan or stone, as it will affect the cooking process. If you’re worried about cheese falling onto the bottom of your oven, you can place a cookie sheet at the bottom of your oven to catch anything that falls.

3. BAKE FOR 13-16 MINUTES


When pizza is done, we recommend using a spatula to scoot the pizza out of the oven and onto a surface that you can cut on, such as a cutting board or large plate. Make sure to wear oven mitts, as oven burns are not fun!

4. ENJOY!


Top with red pepper flakes or your favorite topping, cut with a knife into squares for an authentic Chicago experience!

TIPS AND TRICKS FROM THE EXPERTS

  • Just like a regular thin crust, you can add your own toppings! We encourage you to get creative, but remember, any wet ingredients may change the texture of the sauce and cheese.

  • Recycle your packaging! All of our packaging is recycling friendly.
