ya FYI some pizzas if you dont leave cardboard underneath will sorta melt and the sides of it will fall through the bars of the oven rack... it sucksss.

pizza stoners are the best. the heat up and cook the bottom of the pizza so you dont have a burned top of a pizza and a doughy bottom. the really cheap pizza brands fail in that aspect, i hate doughy bottoms

edit: i meant pizza stones, not stoners...

Those suck, I was a chef at a pizzeria for a few years. You need a nice THICK piece of masonary/stone in there so it has enough heat to KEEP that heat when the pizza/etc hits it.

I lined my oven with 3" thick paving stones from the local quarry. They were castoffs that weren't considered "nice" enough to use. It makes an AMAZING difference when baking breads, etc.

Keep in mind that paper burns just over 450 degrees, so if you turn your oven up to there, it might burn.

But frozen pizza is MADE of cardboard, anyways. Why not make your own? I do, and use a 10 inch cast iron pan... super results, with the easy option of flat, or deep dish style.

Here's my memorized pizza dough recipe:

1 cup flour
1/3 cup water
1/2 package dry yeast
salt
pinch of sugar to prime yeast

You know what to do!
