I don't bother reading the instructions anymore... most frozen pizzas you get at the store, the following instructions will work perfectly for. Assuming you're at low altitude like me - I have no idea what happens up there in the stratosphere.
You will need: A pizza pan, preferably one that is perforated with many holes.
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, keep pizza in freezer.
2. Put pizza in oven directly on center rack (no pan).
3. Set timer for 8 minutes.
4. When timer goes off, open oven and slip cold pizza pan under pizza. Rotate it 180 degrees so the half that was in back of oven is now in front.
5. Close oven and set timer for 4 more minutes.
6. Check pizza. (It probably won't be done.) Dig a small hole in center with some kind of utensil to collect oil (when oil fills this, it's probably done).
7. Set timer for 2 more minutes. If you have an oven light, turn it on. From this point on you need to babysit your pizza till it's done.
8. Check after 2 minutes. If still not done, start checking once a minute till it's done.
9. Remove from oven, butter edges with a stick of butter (or melt it and use a brush).
If you're the kind that likes to put extra toppings on your frozen pizza, you might need an extra pan because the bottom will cook too fast. Don't put it directly on the rack, put it on the pizza pan to begin with. Then at 8 minutes, slide the hot pan out and the cold pan in, then rotate.
I dunno why I felt the urge to post this, I'm just sharin' years of pizza experience (a lot of it coming from pizza places where they didn't just use the conveyor).
