Baking Instructions

How to Bake a Dogtown Pizza Cooking a Dogtown Pizza is very simple. The directions below are tried and true and, when followed, YOU will bake the best pizza in town.

Preparation
You want to cook your pizza near the middle of the oven. Position the racks before turning your oven on.

Pre-heating
Pre-heat your oven to 425° (450° if using a stone). Oven must be completely pre-heated for pizza to bake properly and quickly.

Baking
Be sure to remove all packaging from pizza. Place pizza in the middle of the rack in the oven or on the stone. Cook for about 11 - 17 minutes. The cheese should be bubbling and the crust a crispy dark, dark brown.

Serving
Carefully remove your hot pizza from the oven and place on counter. Do NOT cut your pizza yet! Allow your pizza to rest about 2 minutes. Allow the cheese to stop bubbling. Carefully cut your pizza into wedges or our favorite - squares.

TIP
You can use the cardboard circle that comes with your Dogtown Pizza as a Pizza Peel to slide the pizza onto the oven rack or pizza stone. You can also use it to carefully slide under the cooked pizza to remove from oven.

WARNING: MAKE SURE ALL PLASTIC, LABELING AND CARDBOARD IS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM PIZZA PRIOR TO BAKING - THEY COULD CATCH FIRE AND IT ACTUALLY DOES TASTE LIKE CARDBOARD.

WARNING: TO AVOID BURNS, BE VERY CAREFUL TO AVOID TOUCHING THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF YOUR OVEN - YOU COULD GET HURT, PLUS IT'S PROBABLY FILTHY.

WARNING: ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY. DO NOT EAT DOGTOWN PIZZA RAW - IT"S UNHEALTHY AND TASTES GROSS.

WARNING: KIDS LOVE DOGTOWN PIZZA TOO! DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO COOK DOGTOWN PIZZA UNSUPERVISED - THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES, OR WORSE - THE CRUST MAY NOT BE CRISPY ENOUGH.

WARNING: DO NOT RUN WITH SCISSORS.
