# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 20 minutes without any of the guilt that comes with frozen pizza.
  • The tortilla gets impossibly crispy and shattered, like a thin-crust dream without the yeast drama.
  • You control every topping, so it becomes exactly what you're craving that moment.
02 -
  • Moisture is your enemy—pat dry any wet toppings like tomatoes or olives, or they'll steam the tortilla instead of letting it crisp.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper and don't skip preheating that baking sheet; these two things are what separate crispy from rubbery.
03 -
  • If you want ultimate crispiness, skip the parchment and bake directly on the oven rack, but stand there and watch like a hawk because the bottom can go from perfect to burnt in a blink.
  • Make both pizzas at once if your baking sheet has room; they bake at the same speed and you'll have dinner ready faster.
