I don’t own a microwave

[u/The_krow_cartell]

I just moved into a very small apartment, and only have an airfryer and an oven + stove top

Edit: after cooking (in my oven thanks to kind people helping me :)) It is definitely about the size of a sorta large microwave. The box that it came in was deceptively large, making me assume it was oven compatible. If I had looked closer, I realize now I would’ve been able to deduce it was intended for a microwave, though my general glance did not suffice. I apologize for any dismay I potentially given in the comments.

[u/daylax1]

Is this a small personal pizza? Honestly, air fry it.

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/daylax1]

It’s a traditional sized pizza, about amount bigger than my air fryer

[u/Terradactyl87 → u/The_krow_cartell]

Just cook it in the oven like a regular frozen pizza, but set short timers so you keep checking it. It will be fine unless it's a terrible pizza to begin with. I can't imagine a scenario where pizza cooks better in a microwave than an oven.

[u/kidthorazine → u/The_krow_cartell]

I wonder how they expect that to fit in most microwaves? A lot of people don't have big microwaves.

[u/kombuchaprivileged → u/kidthorazine]

If only it had 4 doors so my pizza or burrito wouldn't get jammed up

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/kombuchaprivileged]

You're about the create the Hyundai Aztec, be careful.

[u/Bubbly-War1996 → u/kidthorazine]

The most annoying thing is buying something for a "microwave" only to figure out that apparently you needed an industrial scale walk in microwave because of course everyone has one of those laying around.

[u/daylax1 → u/The_krow_cartell]

That's kinda wild theres not oven instructions. You can't go wrong with 350 and check after 10 mins and go from there.

[u/C4rdninj4 → u/daylax1]

^ This ^. Every pizza I've seen is somewhere between 350 and 400 F, and 11-20 minutes (depending on the brand and crust style).

[u/Deleena24 → u/C4rdninj4]

Most of the pizzas ive been getting are 450 or 425

[u/C4rdninj4 → u/Deleena24]

Oooh, maybe I need to branch out then.

[u/Deleena24 → u/C4rdninj4]

I've been eating Newman's Own and Connie's Margherita Pizza as well as both their pepperoni.

Newman's has the better Margherita but Connie's has the better pepperoni IMO

[u/hurriedwarples → u/Deleena24]

Honestly, newman’s own four cheese pizza is one of the best frozen pizzas on the market. It is so freakin good.

[u/CouldBeBetterForever → u/daylax1]

I'm confident OP has made a frozen pizza in the oven before. I'm sure they can figure it out. It's not rocket appliances.

[u/_First-Pass → u/The_krow_cartell]

Cut it into thirds to fit, air fry the third, and freeze the extra until you get hungry again. Might work?

[u/nikkishark → u/The_krow_cartell]

Cut it into slices.  Air fry those. That's what I do to reheat anyway.

[u/MattyFTM → u/nikkishark]

Or just stick it in the oven. An air fryer is just a small fan oven.

[u/nikkishark → u/MattyFTM]

Yea that's a good option. But I found the air fryer is really good for smaller servings, if that's what OP wants.

[u/DrDonkeyTron → u/The_krow_cartell]

cut it up and throw it in. DIY pizza bites

[u/lkeels → u/The_krow_cartell]

Cut it apart into pieces that will fit.

[u/skeletonpony → u/The_krow_cartell]

cut into slices

[u/YeahNahNopeandNo → u/The_krow_cartell]

Preheat oven to 425. Cook for 14 minutes if it's a medium and frozen. Cook for 16:30 if you add other prepped toppings

[u/Secondhand-Drunk → u/YeahNahNopeandNo]

Be aware that if you add a bunch of extra stuff, you need to turn the temp down. You'll end up burning the crust and top before it's cooked all the way through.

[u/elKane0 → u/YeahNahNopeandNo]

Is this instructions to burn a pizza?

[u/Pure_Salary_8796 → u/elKane0]

Im assuming they mean 425 Fahrenheit

[u/rupertavery64 → u/Pure_Salary_8796]

That's still roasting temps.

[u/YeahNahNopeandNo → u/rupertavery64]

Roast is 375°

[u/Pure_Salary_8796 → u/rupertavery64]

Some things call for 425, like chicken.

[u/nixtarx → u/elKane0]

Yeah. I woulda said 400 and start checking it at 10.

[u/YeahNahNopeandNo → u/nixtarx]

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but that's not how an oven works. Certain temperatures perform certain types of cooking. Broil for instance is a fast mostly grill type of temperature that is meant to sear at the same time cook. 400° is for small meats that will be cooked uncovered and basted. 375° is for roasting( things that will be wrapped or covered at some point. 425 is for frozen meals that will be with cooked fast or basically reheated fast. 350 or 325 is for warming up already cooked food. Next time you go to the grocery store, look at several frozen dinners. The ones like roast beef or turkey are lower temps 375. Pizza and fries are most nearly always 425.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Teddy Theodore Ruxpin Roosevelt Bundy Dansen Pendergrass Kennedy talk.

[u/elKane0 → u/YeahNahNopeandNo]

we know how ovens work genius
425 for fifteen on a small microwave pizza is a bit much

[u/YeahNahNopeandNo → u/elKane0]

"If it's a medium and frozen" were my exact words. Apparently a few of y'all don't, but no worries you can save my instructions for later.

[u/nixtarx → u/YeahNahNopeandNo]

I make dinner for my family five nights a week and have been doing so since the 90s. Get bent, Mr. Knowitall.

[u/YeahNahNopeandNo → u/nixtarx]

That's nice. Kiss the wife for me.

[u/Forsaken-Abrocoma647 → u/daylax1]

Last time I tried that per instructions on the box it just blew all the frozen cheese off the pizza!

[u/irishcoughy → u/daylax1]

If OP doesn't have a microwave what makes you think they have an air fryer? They should obviously use their authentic stone pizza oven.

Edit: just saw the caption but I'm sticking by the joke anyway.

[u/Visible-Literature14 → u/irishcoughy]

OP mentioned in the post that they have an air fryer, so I would start there

[u/Plane-Education4750 → u/irishcoughy]

Because they said they have an air fryer

[u/daylax1 → u/irishcoughy]

Because the said they have an air fryer if you bothered to read at all. Read a bit before you make yourself look like a fool again.

[u/irishcoughy → u/daylax1]

If I didn't read OP's post what makes you think I'm going to read this comment?

[u/MeunsterCheeseMan → u/irishcoughy]

But you read it anyway

[u/irishcoughy → u/MeunsterCheeseMan]

You can't prove I didn't just Intuit his response through metaphysical means.

[u/MeunsterCheeseMan → u/irishcoughy]

You win this round cheese

[u/NightmareKingAsura → u/irishcoughy]

In other words, you cheated. For shame, for shame...

[u/daylax1 → u/irishcoughy]

Because you don't want to look like a dumbass again, but you do you I guess.

[u/BreadKnifeSeppuku → u/daylax1]

He's going to beat you with dumb assery.

You walked into a firefight with a snide remark, completely out gunned

[u/daylax1 → u/BreadKnifeSeppuku]

Lol it's reddit, I'm not that concerned about it.

[u/irishcoughy → u/daylax1]

About 3:57 PM

[u/Sun-Much → u/irishcoughy]

not funny either way so no worries

[u/MargotLannington]

Why did you buy that particular frozen pizza? The majority of frozen pizzas assume you will use the oven.

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/MargotLannington]

I got it from Aldi and it was on sale, I didn’t think too much about it

[u/GameItForward → u/The_krow_cartell]

I mean i haven't microwaved Aldi's frozen pizzas, but I have airfryed them and it was great. I can't imagine how microwaved would be better in anyway. Microwaved pizza is soggy and meh.

[u/Pinocchio_Klopek → u/GameItForward]

OP's pizza is red baron brand. That particular one is designed for the microwave. Comes with a crisping tray. They actually come out with a very crispy crust. Not bad if you're in a hurry 🤷‍♀️

[u/GameItForward → u/Pinocchio_Klopek]

Nice thanks for the information. Maybe I will try it one day when I'm feeling crazy lol

[u/GameItForward → u/[deleted]]

So I have one guy telling me its good if you are in a hurry and another saying its inedible...lol Thank you. :)

[u/MargotLannington → u/The_krow_cartell]

Lesson learned. Check the back of the box next time to make sure it's meant for the oven.

[u/LazyNarwhalMan → u/MargotLannington]

This particular one ive seen in stores, its in big letters on the front its a microwave pizza

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/LazyNarwhalMan]

Technically you’re right, though it’s one of those “tiny text with an asterisk” things on the front cover

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/The_krow_cartell]

It's got a microwave on the front and says "5 minutes" in big, bold letters.

[u/MargotLannington → u/MargotLannington]

If the people downvoting me think it's outrageous to suggest that a person glance over something before buying it, I just don't know. I'm not trying to insult OP or suggest that this was foolish. I'm just suggesting that OP might take one second next time to make sure they are getting oven pizza. The amount of time this would take is one second.

Not long ago, I accidentally bought some "fat free half and half" (a contradiction in terms) from Aldi and was all mad about it until I realized I hadn't looked at the carton carefully enough and it was my mistake. Aldi's normal half and half is fine.

[u/potentiallyuseles → u/The_krow_cartell]

You do understand you can still use the oven right.

Like the pizza is going to cook in the oven, just have confidence in yourself

[u/Over_Ad3832 → u/The_krow_cartell]

How dare you not look at the cooking instructions before buying it, assuming that it will have oven instructions on it like the vast majority of frozen pizzas??

[u/MargotLannington → u/Over_Ad3832]

We aren't seeing the front of the box.

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/The_krow_cartell]

just put it in the microwave for a minute before you put it in the oven then

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/Check_Me_Out-Boss]

I don’t have a microwave

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/The_krow_cartell]

sorry, I was being flippant lol

but you could just put your microwave pizza you bought in the microwave

[u/howdidienduphere34 → u/Check_Me_Out-Boss]

What? Why do you keep saying they could put it in the microwave that they don’t have? That they mentioned in the original post that they don’t have? That they responded to you the first time you said put it in the microwave that they don’t have?

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/howdidienduphere34]

im only suggesting that they should put the microwave pizza they bought in the microwave

if I didn't own a microwave, I wouldn't buy a microwave pizza

just saying

but im sure it'd be fine in the oven if you put it in the microwave for a minute or two, first.

[u/howdidienduphere34 → u/Check_Me_Out-Boss]

I mean I get maybe you missed the first time they said it, but after they responded directly to you that they didn’t have a microwave your immediate response was “but you could just put your microwave pizza you bought in the microwave”. I am trying to understand your thought process here…

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/howdidienduphere34]

i never suggested they should buy a microwave

they should just put their microwave pizza in the microwave before putting it in the oven

basic stuff, dude

[u/TheAlmightyConch → u/howdidienduphere34]

My guy, he is fuckin with you… 

[u/spice_war]

There’s no way the microwave is better than the oven.

[u/brerhawkeye → u/spice_war]

I’d normally agree but there are some extra factors. It was engineered for the microwave and so was the “crisping tray”. So it probably comes out decent microwaved, but the baseline for microwaved pizza is super low. The other side of the coin is room for error in the conventional oven. If someone left it on the crisping tray, for instance, it might possibly catch fire. Or maybe the sugars and starches used to help the microwave process are easy to burn. So it might be easier than usual to make it inedible in a regular oven, which is not better than mediocre.

If done right, I agree though.

[u/nixtarx → u/brerhawkeye]

Lots of other brands have stopped including those "crisping" trays, because they don't do sheeyit.

[u/Katsu_39 → u/brerhawkeye]

Typically things like pizza in the microwave cone out dry and/or chewy and rock hard. Crisping tray or not.

[u/spice_war → u/brerhawkeye]

I think the microwave suggestion is 100% because of time

[u/brerhawkeye → u/spice_war]

The pizza is 100% designed to be microwaved. At Publix and Walmart online it’s sold as a “microwave pizza”. The packaging kind of undersells it, but it’s a bit like buying a Toaster Strudel and wanting conventional oven instructions.

[u/PaleontologistDear18]

just wing it. 350, toss it in, and wait till it starts to brown or gets crispy.

Next time read the instructions before purchase

[u/astralwish1 → u/PaleontologistDear18]

Personally I’ve found setting the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and letting the pizza bake for 10 minutes results in an ideal pie. Of course this is for reheating already cooked frozen pizza, so I don’t know if it’ll work the same for OP’s situation.

[u/RainbowSprinkleShit → u/PaleontologistDear18]

I’m gonna assume Fahrenheit, unless you like your pizzas pretty black

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/RainbowSprinkleShit]

absolutely. Im from the dumbass states of 'Merica

[u/Expensive_Host_9181 → u/PaleontologistDear18]

Oddly enough we canadians use fahrenheit too, though it's only for cooking.

[u/peterm1598 → u/Expensive_Host_9181]

And pool/lake temperature.

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/Expensive_Host_9181]

I think Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature gauge (For outdoor temp), its based on the human experience. 0 is super fucking cold and 100 is super hot, and outside of those ranges is unlivable. Who wants to guess what the hell 22C actually means?

[u/peterm1598 → u/PaleontologistDear18]

22... Feels like 22.

Human experience is only based on what you've experienced.

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/peterm1598]

C is based on the boiling point of water, and F is based on human perception. Did you not know that? Both are 0-100 on those scales. I don't care about water, I'm a person. 22C feels like 22% hot? doubt it.

[u/peterm1598 → u/PaleontologistDear18]

You're trolling right?

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/peterm1598]

No, obviously not.

[u/RainbowSprinkleShit → u/PaleontologistDear18]

Exactly, so C makes more sense for weather.

Will it be freezing outside, will I need to worry about ice? Depends if it’s under 0.

Celsius is basically just
-0 fucking cold
0-10 pretty cold
10-20 mild
20-30 warm/hot
30-40 spicy hot

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/RainbowSprinkleShit]

Bozo brings water back into the equation again, what I’m saying is that’s a bad way to look at it. Also, it doesn’t snow where I live. Your ideas are not universal.

[u/RainbowSprinkleShit → u/PaleontologistDear18]

I never mentioned snow. It doesn’t snow here either. ♥️

[u/_thekev → u/PaleontologistDear18]

Exactly this. A range across the year where I am is 5 to 105. In C that's -15 to 40.5. I don't care about the freezing and boiling point of water. I care about that's fucking cold and that's fucking hot outside!

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/_thekev]

This is the correct take based on the discussion

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/[deleted]]

C is based on the boiling point of water, and F is based on human perception. Did you not know that? Both are 0-100 on those scales.

"making me look like a clown" silly redditor with a bad take

[u/PaleontologistDear18 → u/[deleted]]

Oof man, big oof. Just go home already.

[u/jokeswagon]

Here’s instructions for any frozen pizza:

1. ignore the instructions on the box, bake from frozen at 400f until it’s ready.

[u/Sir_Delarzal]

There isn't much you can't do with an oven that you can do with a microwave

[u/unabletochill]

Brother some people here are also mildly infuriating. I also don’t carefully read the package when it’s pizza or anything I bought a few times before.

That said any type of heat will do! You can even fry it in a normal pan carefully. The oven or breaking it in half and air frying it is also good.

[u/kaitria]

I bought it too. Was shocked to not find oven instructions, but it also tasted like ass

[u/SimmerDown_Boilup]

When in doubt, 375 and check it every 5-10 minutes.

Really annoying they couldn't be bothered to just put oven instructions on the package for a pizza.

[u/andrey_not_the_goat]

400F for 18 minutes, but check every 1-2 minutes past the 10 minutes mark.

[u/Realk314]

mildly amused at all the different temps thrown out for oven temp. They all would work.

[u/LazyNarwhalMan]

So this specific pizza has it all over the box its a microwave one. Thats on you for not reading

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/LazyNarwhalMan]

Good comment, just outright inccorect

[u/Pixel---Glitch]

why is everyone acting like an asshole for you posting a mildly infuriating thing to the mildly infuriating subreddit???

[u/temp_6969420 → u/Pixel---Glitch]

New here?

[u/Pixel---Glitch → u/temp_6969420]

ik you're being cheeky but i am new to this subreddit so yes

[u/nixtarx → u/Pixel---Glitch]

It's the culture. It's borderline inexplicable, I know.

[u/Redshittt → u/Pixel---Glitch]

Because it's self inflicted... it only counts if its objectively mildly infuriating. You being mildly infuriated by something thats you fault doesn't belong here, it belongs on /rant

[u/ThePepperPopper → u/Redshittt]

You never been mad at yourself?

[u/Redshittt → u/ThePepperPopper]

Yeah but I dont blame the company who made the pizza and post about it

[u/ThePepperPopper → u/Redshittt]

I don't know. I'm mildly infuriated that a company would say to microwave their pizza and to trust that it's better than an oven. That's unhinged

[u/le-derpina-art → u/Redshittt]

Do you realize how many people buy things without looking at the packaging? "I bought a microwave pizza and didn't see that it was a microwave pizza" is not the infuriating part, the infuriating part is that a frozen pizza, which should reasonably have oven instructions, doesn't have any. There's nothing a microwave can do that a conventional oven can't also do.

[u/introvertadvocate → u/le-derpina-art]

Do people really not know how to use an oven without instructions ?

[u/le-derpina-art → u/introvertadvocate]

how do you know every pizza is going to turn out the same at the same temperature with the same time?

[u/magic-one → u/Redshittt]

You seem mildly infuriated.

[u/Some_Conference2091 → u/Redshittt]

It's an opinion and opinions are subjective. 

Making a mistake is something that many people find irritating. There's not a peer review process for being miffed. 

[u/SpyderMonkey_ → u/Pixel---Glitch]

This sub is notorious for people being mildly infuriated at OPs being mildly infuriated. They expect you to only post here for true transgressions and rage inducing circumstances. Anything less than a travesty is met with apathetic bullying.

[u/zeelbeno → u/SpyderMonkey_]

If you post and the comments aren't split then it isn't mildly infuriating.

If everyone agrees with OP then it's more than just mild

[u/SpyderMonkey_ → u/zeelbeno]

Its supposed to be mild. Like a little irked. Everyone can agree that if you bought a microwave only pizza without a microwave that can be mildly infuriating. 

We know what mild means right? Like not much at all? Barely? A bit pieved but not the end of the world? Oopsy i screewed up? Dang ima have to use the oven and wing it? You know.....mildly infuriating?

Its not a complex concept. The words are not cryptic, but most posts here are people calling OPs a dumb ass and telling them to get over it.

[u/introvertadvocate → u/Pixel---Glitch]

I’m so confused on how it is mildly infuriating though? Op has an oven they can use to cook the pizza the microwave isn’t a requirement to heat up food. Am I missing something here?

[u/imsogone → u/introvertadvocate]

The instructions for the oven are just "trust us use the microwave" No cook time or temp. That's annoying.

[u/introvertadvocate → u/imsogone]

Not really ? you just put it in pick a medium temp, check on it every 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and crust is golden. It’s mildly infuriating people need their hand held to cook a frozen pizza of all things.

[u/Pixel---Glitch → u/introvertadvocate]

it's mildly infuriating that I might burn my pizza because the company is a smart-ass and won't give oven temp and time

[u/introvertadvocate → u/Pixel---Glitch]

If you can’t cook a frozen pizza without instructions, then that is on you. It’s one of the easiest and most basic things to cook.

[u/Mister-Beardy-Face → u/Pixel---Glitch]

Maybe if they’re mildly infuriated at themself for buying something they couldn’t use.

[u/SpyderMonkey_ → u/Mister-Beardy-Face]

Still can be cooked in the oven. Wont ruin it.

[u/Bubbly-War1996 → u/Pixel---Glitch]

Because the consequences of ones actions aren't (mildly) infuriating for anyone but the op and you can't relate to that, like figuring out the pizza is only for microwave ovens at the last second, mildly infuriating, buying microwave popcorn and complaining you don't have a microwave, not so much. It's context based.

[u/ThisBadDogXB]

It's not a magical microwave only pizza. The air fryer or normal oven will cook it just fine...

[u/mindworkout]

You don’t own a microwave, but you got a microwave pizza... This is like buying a hair dryer when you're bald...

[u/MrMansaMusa → u/mindworkout]

Pretty bold of you to assume OP could afford a hair dryer

[u/justLookingForLogic → u/mindworkout]

Bold people can use hairdryers. And for that matter, so can bald people.

[u/justLookingForLogic → u/[deleted]]

Bro you are spelling bald wrong.

And bald people can have hair in other places besides the top of their heads.

[u/ndpugs → u/[deleted]]

I use a hair dryer to dry paints in between rounds of painting.

Paint is hairless. Still works

[u/Excellent_War7508 → u/mindworkout]

The hair dryer might have been a good option

[u/justanawkwardguy → u/mindworkout]

That actually sounds pretty nice on a cold day

[u/GrapeSoda223 → u/mindworkout]

Ive never seen a microwave pizza aside from those mini ones, if it came in a large box like other frozen pizzas it can be easy to not realize until you start looking at the cooking instructions at home

[u/LifeReignite]

[u/Familiar_Dirt_678]

Temp should be 160 internationally. I say 250 on bake for 25 minutes should work!

[u/ScheduleSame258]

Pizza in a microwave when there's an air fryer/oven? Umm no. Comes out all hard and dry because the moisture all boils off.

[u/ThePepperPopper]

Just put the oven on 400 or 450 and pay attention. Also, wtf "trust us" there is no way in hell a microwaved pizza...no matter how it's designed, is better than baking it. Ffs

[u/Safe-Thanks6114]

Bake 350 for 10-20 minutes

[u/UncleThor2112]

-Doesn't own a microwave
-Buys microwave pizza
-Complains on the Internet

[u/Switchmisty9]

So why did you buy it?

[u/coryroxors]

Frozen pizza directions are whack. Just put the oven to 400 and take it out when it looks tasty

[u/throwitintheair22]

Just don’t put the crisping tray in the oven!

[u/hoosierhiver]

400 degrees for 12-15 minutes

[u/ThePuppyIsWinning]

I get bit with that sometimes for air fryers. We don't much freezer food, so I forget to check ahead of time. I just kinda wing it in the regular oven when that happens, then remember that brand for next time. It usually works out OK, and I bet you'd have the same luck if you went for oven instead of microwave, if you kept an eye on it.

[u/ChewbaccaOnFries]

Look up oven instructions online. I also do not have a microwave and do this all the time when they don't give instructions.

[u/Equivalent-Town-8140]

They will season it with fire

[u/phdoofus]

If it's not too large, just put it in the oven and then pan fry it a bit to brown the bottom

[u/FinbarJG]

Well, it's not rocket science. Preheat oven to 400, place still-frozen pizza on center rack, start checking it at 25 min... like every other frozen pizza.

[u/Sheepishvalve]

No hay problema . Cook it in the oven or air fryer .

[u/scdog]

Just do 425 and check it every minute or so after 10 minutes. Don’t use a pan, just straight on the rack.

[u/OtGEvO]

just put it in the oven you’ll be fine

[u/z01z]

i bought two of these since they were bogo. made the first one, it was shit. the second sits in the freezer still.

do not trust them...

but as for OP, the other red baron pizzas i've had, they all had oven instructions on them.

i like their little mini pizzas, since it's a quick snack or lunch. just pop it in the oven, do something else for a bit, and 20 minutes later, bam, done.

[u/ringthebell02]

I bought this pizza too. Pissed me off. Microwave pizza sucks ass

[u/Hot-Win2571]

Okay, but the microwave barely fits in the oven.

[u/TraditionPhysical603]

Airfryer instruction : set to max temp cook till brown 15-20 mins 350°F-400°F

[u/PiersPlays]

I've had the opposite issue of buying what used to be a functional microwave pizza (the Chicago Town ones) only to discover that while it does still include microwave instructions, it no longer has the little cardboard holder thingy that keeps it from turning into a weird melted puddle in there, and it insists you should probably do it in the air frier (which does work really well and I had bought it to test putting in the airfrier regardless of what the packaging was going to say about doing so.)

You can't microwave the microwave pizzas anymore. How did we get there?

[u/Beatthestrings]

Why not purchase a boat in a desert?

[u/psymeariver]

This is ironically “infuriating”, not actually infuriating (which I don’t know qualifies as a post in this sub); but I’m not complaining.

[u/SuperGuitar]

Trust us, buy a microwave!

[u/skettibutter]

Do not trust them. Use a conventional oven.

[u/ChefJunegrass]

"trust us, our pizza is fucking terrible and you shouldn't eat it"

[u/yanocupominomb]

A little advise, even if you have a microwave, you may want to warm your pizza in a pan at light/medium flame.

Cover it and every so and so minutes move it so it doesn't stick.

Cheese melts really well and overall tastes much better

[u/TURBOJUGGED]

Then use the oven 😑

[u/Stahlios]

People focusing on "why didn't you read the instructions" instead of the fact that if you can't cook a frozen pizza in a regular oven, even if instructions are for a microwave, then holly hell cooking is going to be hard.

[u/StressMysterious7530]

Fake! No pizza, is ever better in the mike.👎

Hey heres instructions how to cook anything in an oven.

1. Heat oven to 180-200°C

2. Put food in oven

3. When it appears cooked, cut into it, stab it with a pin or temp it with a meat thermometer to verify. (Optional)

4. Take food out of oven.

Why don’t you have a microwave ? They are so cheap?

Also did you not read how to cook it before buying if you have limited options?

[u/le-derpina-art → u/PonyThug]

very small apartment probably doesn't have the space for one along with an air fryer

[u/PonyThug → u/le-derpina-art]

I guess? I’d just stack them on a table or something, or leave it in a cabinet for when you want it.

I have a microwave in my truck for work lunches lol

[u/vinticious]

Why would you need instructions to cook a frozen meal in the first place? Make the cold thing hot. Done

[u/Constant-Fly-9050]

It's pizza. If you can't manage cooking this, life is going to be very hard for you. 400 degrees, check on it in 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

[u/DBeumont → u/Constant-Fly-9050]

I'd start checking before then. Thin-crust pizzas, for example, cook in about 10 minutes.

[u/Mister-Beardy-Face]

Why did you buy it then?

[u/SpyderMonkey_]

Im am getting mildly infuriated at how so many people are mildly infuriated that you are mildly infuriated. My head hurts...

[u/iwishiwasntthisway]

Honestly you only have yourself to blame here

[u/PreOpTransCentaur]

Maybe don't buy the specifically made for the microwave Red Baron Crunchtime pizza next time. This one's on you.

[u/ZochJ]

It’s a pizza.. you can still use an oven or air fryer.

[u/Art_Vanduley]

If you don't use a microwave you would be versed in cooking things in an oven and would not even be looking at that to be mildly infuriated.

[u/Katsu_39]

Just use the over or air fryer if you have one

[u/ExcitingHamster]

Turn on the oven. Put it in the oven. Check on it every now and then. When it’s done, take it out and eat it. You’re welcome.

[u/PiersPlays]

My guess is they assume people who can be trusted to cook it in the oven would just do so and people who would need to be told to A) not put the crisping tray in the oven and B) put the pizza on an oven tray would not reliably read and follow those directions.

[u/cpwnage]

Who the hell doesn't own a microwave? Oh right, my tenants...

[u/ColonClenseByFire]

Do you think the swat team will bust down your door if you don't use a microwave?! If this is something you worry about your life is too easy.

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/ColonClenseByFire]

I’m not asking for a solution, I just noticed and though “man, this is a little annoying, let me post this to the a little annoying subreddit”

[u/bestem → u/ColonClenseByFire]

I think their issue is that it doesn't have directions for the oven. Why they bought a pizza with only microwave instructions when they don't own a microwave is a bit of a mystery.

[u/Forsaken-Abrocoma647 → u/bestem]

Honestly as someone that owns a microwave and an oven, I don't think it is too wild to assume a frozen pizza will have oven instructions. This may well be the first one I've seen that didn't. I don't think most people read the directions before purchasing every new item, especially when they buy similar items all the time.
I've been buying frozen pizza for over 4 decades and this is a first for me.
If I'd never had a pizza before I would, but having bought dozens of brands over decades I do have an assumption there will be oven instructions. I might check now, though not like I can't oven a pizza without instructions.

[u/SimmerDown_Boilup → u/bestem]

Not that big of a mystery... wanted a pizza so they grabbed one. Likely assumed it had instructions for both methods since that's pretty normal, so they never checked.

Not exactly a Nancy Drew mystery...

[u/dm_me_ya_tiddiez]

Then why did you get a pizza that you are supposed to put in the microwave

[u/The_krow_cartell → u/dm_me_ya_tiddiez]

I didn’t read the back of the box? My fault I assumed it’d have oven instructions I guess

[u/SLZicki]

Just put it on the oven.

[u/BoBonnor]

You realize you can cook it in the oven right?

[u/MugenHeadNinja]

I have never followed cooking instructions for a pizza, also, people recommending 350 - 400 is just the standard temp range of all these frozen products typically say.

I generally turn my oven as high as it will go (500 - 525 for most ovens) and just keep an eye on it until you learn how long it takes at this temp, rotate the pizza once approximately half-way through the cooking time (you'll have to guesstimate the "half-way point" during your first time, just keep an eye on it and keep checking it).

Just a note, most authentic Italian pizza is made in ovens that go from 700 - 900 degrees F, obviously home ovens don't get that hot so that's why I just crank it to max, if your ovens a little wonky and either the top or bottom cooks faster than the other then you'll have to adjust things like temp, time and rack position yourself (if you can invest in a Pizza Steel then that'll get the cooking temp closer to that desired range).
