FAQ

Questions, answered straight

Do I need a pizza stone in a toaster oven?

Not for frozen pizza. For fresh dough, a small stone or steel that fits the cavity can improve base crisping, preheated with the oven.

What temperature is best for frozen pizza?

Follow the box, commonly around 400 to 425 degrees F, and use the middle rack so the top browns as the base crisps.

Why is my pizza top done before the crust?

The top element is close in a small cavity. Lower the rack one position or reduce temperature slightly and add a minute or two.
