FAQ

Q: “Hey, how do I cook this thing?”

A: “Either you or someone who loves you (loves you more then you know) took the time to select this pizza. Respect the pizza. Respect yourself. Cook it correctly.”

  1. Remove Pizza from freezer and set on counter to thaw for twenty minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  3. Dispose of shrink wrap and the box but save the cardboard circle, it will come in handy later.
  4. Place pizza directly on the middle rack with either foil or another pan on the rack underneath. Start checking the pizza after 15 minutes for thin crust, 20 minutes for deep dish. It is done when the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Baking times may vary.
  5. Remove pizza to cardboard circle and return to the counter used in step #1 (or a table, or the floor, any flat surface at this point will do) and let it sit 3-5 minutes before cutting.
  6. Cut and enjoy.

 

Q: “What happens if I can’t wait 3-5 minutes to dig into this pizza?”

A: “The cheese isn’t going to have a chance to set and possibly may slide off onto your plate. Also, it’s going to be hot. Super-hot. Respect your taste buds and let it cool.”

 

Q: “Can I microwave this?”

A: “We’re going to pretend you didn’t ask that. Please see first question at the top.”

 

Q: “My pizzas are cold but there is no ice or ice packs in the cooler. Is it magic?”

A: “No it’s dry ice. Here is everything you need to know about dry ice.

  1. Are you going to eat those pizzas now? If not, please put the pizzas in the freezer immediately.
  2. Be careful with any remaining dry ice. It can burn your hands. We suggest picking it up with a dishcloth and disposing of it immediately.
  3. No dry ice? Don’t worry it may have evaporated completely. Nothing to get crazy about.
  4. Feel your items. Are they frozen or cool to the touch? If yes, everything’s great and return to #1

 

Q: “I’m not going to cook my pizza for another 3 days? Refrigerator or freezer?

A: Over 48 hours put the pizzas in the freezer. Less than 48 hours put the pizzas in the refrigerator. Less than one hour from opening the package, let’s set it out on the counter and get that oven fired up to 425 degrees.

 

Q: “Follow-up question. What if I need to wait 45 days?

A: “You really ask a lot of questions and must have incredible willpower. For the best taste, we recommend eating the frozen products within 30 days. Anything over 30 days is OK but definitely not prime. Do we need to have the discussion on respect again?
