Before you bake — read this first:

Your oven is never fully pre-heated when it beeps. Let it continue pre-heating for an additional 20 minutes after it signals it’s ready. We know it’s hard to wait — but this one step makes all the difference in how your order turns out.

Baking on a Pizza Stone (Recommended)

450°F
21–24 minutes
Crispiest crust
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F with pizza stone inside the oven. The stone needs to be HOT — about 45 minutes of preheating.
    Pro Tip Your oven is never fully pre-heated when it beeps! Let it pre-heat another 20 minutes after it says it's ready. A hot stone is the key to a crispy bottom.
  2. Take pizza out of freezer and set on countertop while oven is preheating.
  3. Remove frozen pizza from pizza tray and place directly on the pre-heated pizza stone.
  4. Bake pizza for 21–24 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Enjoy!

Baking Directly on Oven Rack

450°F
21–24 minutes
Crispy crust

    Pro Tip Your oven is never fully pre-heated when it beeps! Let it pre-heat another 20 minutes after it says it's ready.
  2. Take pizza out of freezer and set on countertop while oven is preheating.
  3. Remove frozen pizza from pizza tray and place directly on the center rack of the oven.

Baking on Aluminum Baking Tray (Soft Crust)

450°F
23–24 minutes
Soft crust
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F for about 30 minutes.
    Pro Tip Your oven is never fully pre-heated when it beeps! Let it pre-heat another 20 minutes after it says it's ready.
  2. Take pizza out of freezer and set on countertop while oven is preheating.
  3. Place pizza on an aluminum pizza tray and into the oven.
  4. Bake pizza for 23–24 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. The crust will be softer using this method — perfect for those who prefer a tender bottom. Enjoy!

Tips for Success

Pro Tips for Perfect Pizza

Pizza stone is worth it. If you make pizza more than a few times a year, invest in a pizza stone. The crispy crust difference is significant — and it’s reusable for years.

Don’t skip the preheat time. A truly hot oven (or stone) is the key to a crust that’s crispy on the bottom and bubbly on top. The temperature drops the moment the cold pizza goes in.

Use parchment paper for stone transfers. If you’re using a pizza stone, place the pizza on parchment paper to slide on and off the hot stone easily and safely.

Add fresh toppings after baking for the freshest flavor — basil leaves, arugula, drizzles of olive oil, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes elevate the whole pie.

Naked crust is a game-changer. Top with your favorite ingredients to make pizza night an event. Family pizza-making is a celiac-safe activity everyone can join.

Leftovers

Storage & Reheating

How to Store & Reheat Leftover Pizza

Refrigerate leftover slices in an airtight container or wrapped tightly. Our favorite way to reheat is in the air fryer or oven for the best texture — we recommend 350°F until warm and crispy again. Microwaves work in a pinch but tend to make gluten-free crust rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pizza FAQs

Are your pizzas safe for someone with celiac disease?
Yes. Our pizzas are made in our 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen with no risk of cross-contamination. Everything we bake is celiac-safe.
Do you offer dairy-free or vegan pizzas?

Yes! We have dairy-free cheese options and vegan toppings. Check our shop for current availability or call us at (270) 551-4440 to ask about custom orders.

What's the difference between the three baking methods?
Pizza stone gives you the crispiest, most pizzeria-style crust. Oven rack is a great runner-up if you don’t own a stone. Aluminum tray gives you a softer crust — perfect for kids or anyone who prefers a tender bottom.
What is "naked crust"?
Our naked crust is an unbaked, untopped pizza crust — perfect for those who want to build their own custom pizza. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings, then follow any of the baking methods above.
Can I cook the pizza from defrosted?
We recommend baking from frozen — it actually produces a crispier crust because the frozen pizza creates less moisture in the oven. If you do defrost first, reduce your bake time by 4–5 minutes.
Do you keep pizzas in stock or do I need to pre-order?

We typically keep take-and-bake pizzas in our freezer for walk-ins, but quantities vary. For guaranteed availability, especially around weekends and holidays, pre-ordering is best. Call (270) 551-4440 to check current stock.
