Bake frozen pizza without a tray - will it melt and drip?
How can frozen pizza be baked in an oven without a tray, without running the risk of melting like in the picture below (found on teh internets)? Or does that just not happen?
Best Answer
I have baked many a frozen pizza without a tray and never had a pizza lose structural integrity like that.
The oven should be quite hot (usually the box will specify at least 400°F).
Usually the difficulty arises when it's time to get the pizza out of the oven. I suggest a baking tray with no sides.

Can you cook pizza directly on the oven rack? Pizza should be cooked directly on the oven rack if it's a frozen pizza, pizza with a pre-made crust, or a cooked pizza that you're reheating. Raw pizza dough should not go directly on the oven rack because it will fall through the gaps.Can you cook pizza in the oven without a tray?
Cooking a pizza inside an oven without any pans is possible! But, of course, you should need to follow several instructions to make sure it is done all right. Using parchment paper, make a pizza pan of your own. You'll need a large baking sheet with a rim as a pizza pan alternative.How do you keep a frozen pizza from dripping?

Answer 2
In the UK the instructions generally tell you to put the pizza directly on the shelf. This is what I always do and have never had problems. I can only see the above happening where someone has gotten used to doing this and then tried it with fresh dough.
Answer 3
Mine did completely that last night where it never did it before. What a shock and a mess! It was completely frozen so something must have been messed up with the ingredients. I won’t get that brand again!
