Frozen pizzas are not like restaurant pizzas, but they are good when you're in a hurry. They often lack crunch on the bottom.

A chef named Anne Wolf shared a tip to make frozen pizzas better. She wants the pizza to be crispy, which can be hard to do.

Most people make a mistake when cooking pizzas by following the packet instructions.

Heat the pizza stone for an hour before cooking the pizza.

Anne said following the instructions is okay, but you can do better. She wrote that most people go wrong by following the box.

Anne said it's fine to follow the instructions, but you can make a great pizza with a pizza stone.

Before using the pizza stone, defrost the frozen pizza. This helps make the dough crispy.

Anne explained that pizza stones help make the crust crispy like a commercial oven.

Defrosting the pizza helps make the bottom crispy.

To make the base crispy, use a pizza stone in the oven. You can also use a specialist pizza tray.

Put the stone in the oven while it preheats. Don't put the pizza in the oven right away.

Let the stone heat for an hour after the oven is hot. Take the frozen pizza out of the freezer to defrost.

When the pizza is defrosted, put it on the hot stone and bake it. Check the bottom of the pizza a few minutes before it's done.
