Thawing pizza...sort of

[shoyski]

Hi Everyone, need some of your expert advice.
I bought into a two for one pizza deal and had them keep one pizza uncooked.

When it arrived I immediately froze it.
Now, do I thaw and bake or bake it straight from the freezer?

Thanks.

I'd try it like a frozen pizza - right from freezer to oven. I wonder if it would get soggy if you let it thaw first?

shoyski - great idea! I'll have to try this on the 2-4-1 deals. Let me know how yours turned out.

I would cook it frozen but I would put it in the oven as soon as you turn it on to help it thaw while the oven is pre heating.

When I'm making pizza at home, I'll usually try to make 2 pizzas and freeze one. I usually just pop it into the (preheated) oven frozen.

Where did you get your pizzas from?

Thanks for all the replies. I will be testing
this out Thursday and will keep you posted.

Shirley, we order from Pizza Hut, Marco's and Rons Pizza. The key thing is the place must deliver.

Every Thursday night we have pizza so I don't have to cook and my husband doesn't have to clean up. I really enjoy cooking but it's amazing how much I look forward to these evenings. Of course, it could be because I love pizza so much!

Well it worked great! We will be doing the two for one deal every week! Kim, we tried your idea of putting it in the oven straight from the freezer with no preheating. It took 20 minutes and it was perfect. Thanks again for the advice!

Oh by the way, when we first got the pizza, we wrapped it in butcher paper first, put it back in the box and then froze it.
