- Par-bake your crust before you freeze pizza
- Use a high temperate when cooking frozen pizza
How to make homemade frozen pizza
The trick with making delicious homemade frozen pizza is to par-bake the crust.
- Start by making a big batch of pizza dough (I doubled this recipe).
- Divide into 8 pieces and roll each into an 8-inch round.
- Next, you will par-bake the dough on a pizza stone or preheated cookie sheet.
- Bake your dough (working in batches) for 5 minutes and let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Top with pizza sauce, grated cheese, and your favorite toppings.
- Flash freeze for 2-3 hours. Wrap in plastic wrap and slide into a freezer bag.
Cooking Frozen Pizza
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Add pizza stone or cookie sheet in the oven before preheating starts.
- Bake pizzas on the pizza stone for 8-10 minutes.
- Enjoy!

See? Isn’t that easy? We had a night last week where I was exhausted, my husband was running late, and I just whipped out some of these homemade frozen pizzas for my kids. I made two for the three kids to share and they ate it all. It was so easy to feed my kids a homemade meal without actually having to do much cooking.
