    Im really confused as to how on most pizza boxes it says for a crisper crust, you leave it in less time than you would for a softer crust. How is this possible? From my experiences in cooking, the longer you leave anything in the oven to cook, the better chance it has of getting crispy.

    Reason Im posting this is because I was just thinking out loud and someone at my house agreed 100% with me.

    Thoughts?

    Slow way involves a pan and the fast was is directly on oven rack?

    Are you sure it doesnt say for a crispier crust cook it directly on the rack and for a softer crust cook it on a baking sheet?

    Diggiornos pizza says for a crisper crust cook 20-23 minutes for a softer crust cook 23-27 minutes but

    wait, just looked it over. also says supposed to put it on a sheet for softer and rack for crisp. Making a lil more sense. lol

    im also pretty sure that most pizza tells you for the chrispy crust cook shorter but also usually cook 25-50 degrees higher temp.....

    Totino's directly on the rack FTMFW. It gets the oven dirty, but it's well worth it. I think I'm going to make one now.

    Used to eat frozen pizza until I discovered that tossing your own pizza is way awesomer than tossing your own salad. Get stoned, get a pizza stone, buy dough at TJs/Whole Foods (whole foods dough is amazing...), profit... just don't buy the bullshit Haeger stone, they crack...

    heres a tip from people in the know:

    1. micro the FROZEN pizza for a min-or2
    2. put that frozen pizza in a pan thats been set on high.

    3. hot toppings + crispy crust
    4. grab pizza and a beer to cure that crunch
