I have a M&S frozen pizza in the freezer. Any tips on how to maximise this pizza? Should I use olive oil? Tin foil?

Maximise in what way? Make tastier? Make a bigger meal?

And what would tin foil do?

Not much you can do with a frozen pizza

Not much you can do except lob it in the oven with the temp whacked up to full.

extra cheese, shove it straight on the shelf, no foil.

I wouldn't cook a frozen pizza on full whack, it will work on a fresh one but you'll just end up with toasted pizza with a frozen one.

I guess by 'maximise' you mean 'how can I improve it?'.
I tend to put more cheese on, a sprinkling of 'Italian herbs' and a good sprinkling of chilli flakes on top.
Maybe some ham or what not too - but don't over load it, it can make it soggy.

Not sure what the addition of tin foil would do.

With Frozen I turn the oven up full, til it's at it's hottest. Then turn it off and put the pizza in the hot but cooling oven, tends to not burn that way and manages to soften it a bit rather than the horrible way frozen pizza usually goes.

This is only with party pizza's, I don't cook frozen pizzas for myself generally, but it does work.

Covering with foil is to stop things browning op. Do you want it steam cooked or brown?

But wouldn't it just stick to the cheese and make a mess?

Pineapple is good on pizza.

I was assuming the OP would defrost it first, he didn't actually say he was going to cook it straight from the freezer.

Saying that, I only ever have thin & crispy ones so often chuck them in while frozen, although I have to admit I prefer them more well done and actually prefer the cheese to be slightly scorched.


*I think I got away with that one*

I was never a fan of frozen pizza until I tried Chicago Town Takeaway Pizza. The dough isn't cooked before its frozen so the dough is freshly cooked when you put it in the oven. Top that with the crusts stuffed with BBQ sauce and you have yourself one amazing pizza!

yes they are nice, can only seem to get the cheese or pepperoni ones in my local co-op as i'm sure i've seen other versions of them.

a ham n pineapple one with cheese in the crust would be nice.
