Costco Frozen Pizza Instructions – From Freezer to Feast

Before proceeding to our main topic, Costco frozen pizza instructions? First of all let’s discuss Costco pizza.

While creating Costco pizza, you need 80-20 percent buttery cheeses, part-skim-milk mozzarella, and provolone. It would be better to add provolone because they are very healthy and contains a fair amount of protein and calcium.

There may be 8 or 16 slices in a Costco pizza. If you want to add almonds to your pizza you can add them but make sure that you know about almond pizza recipe.

When it comes to the Costco pizza, it doesn’t mean that you have to only cheese because there are many options available such as Pepperoni and combo. The Pepperoni made form a mixture of pork and beef. If we talk about combo pizza, they have different features such as mild Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, Allium cepa, and Capsicum Annuum.

If you haven’t found the pizza on the menu board according to your needs, you can customize it as you want. You can order pepperoni and sausage pizza that fit your family’s needs.

How to Prepare and Cook Costco Frozen Pizza

1. Preheat Oven

First of all, place the baking sheet on the rack—the baking sheet use for baking any products. It would be better if you arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, Make sure that to preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. Roll Out Your Pizza Round

Divide the pizza dough(salt, eggs, and various flavoring materials) in half to make two different pizza. I am talking about this if you failed to roll out the pizza round, you have will have an extra option to roll out your second pizza. If you are an expert and know you should go for one.

Place the dough ball in the middle of the baking paper, Rollout, and once you know it’s thin right now, leave them for a few minutes to give them rest. After that, try to roll out again after a few minutes. That’s it for rolling out the pizza now. If you have decided to make, two pizzas repeat the same process.

3. Use Hot Baking Sheet For Rounding Pizza

It’s recommended to roll out the pizza on the hot baking sheet. Continue the baking process until it’s dry on the top. If you can’t imagine it, then repeat this step for 3-5 minutes.

If you don’t have a baking sheet, you can use Silpat Baking Mat instead. Maybe they are more expensive than the baking sheet, but they will last longer because they are made up of silicone and have flexibility.

4. Let The Cool Round Pizza

Remove the pizza from the parchment sheet, and let them cool down on a cooling rack. The cooling rack is also called the wire rack, which allows the air freely inside and prevents baked from falling because the grid is very tight.

5. Add Sprinkle Chees At The Top

Once you know that your pizza is cold right now, it’s recommended to spread some pizzas sauce. If you are a bit confused about the sauce, it’s a liquid such as a cream used to prepare pizzas and other foods. Now add sprinkle cheese over the top of the pizza but make your pizza frozen un-topped.

6. Freeze The Pizza And Wrap It On Plastic

Place the pizza on a baking sheet and freeze them, leave them for 3 hours. Now wrap the pizza in plastic and aluminum foil, But make sure that the pizza is freeze wrap them in the plastic. Stick the label on a plastic wrap, and wrap them in aluminum foil.

7. Freeze Pizza For 3 Months

It would be better if you freeze the pizza for up to 3 months.

8. Now Bake The Frozen Pizza

When you know that the pizza is frozen and now it’s ready to bake, then heat the oven to 550°F. To bake the frozen pizza, transfer the frozen pizza to the baking sheet and continue baking until the crust is golden and the cheese becomes brown. It will take 9-10 minutes to become golden bubbly. That was all about how do you cook a frozen Costco pizza.

Before placing the pizza in an oven, make sure they are comfortable, and pizza easily fit on it. If your oven smaller and you have to make the pizza size according to your oven size.

Here are the Costco frozen pizza cooking instructions in the toaster oven.

• Make sure that you have the best toaster oven that can go into the highest temperature possible. Preheat your oven.
• If you have a big oven that temperature can go on high, leave them for five minutes; otherwise, those who have a small oven can leave them for ten minutes.
• Place your pizza in the oven. Make sure that you have set the rack to the middle position of the stove. Remember, don’t use a pan or cookie sheet for baking the pizza. Also, don’t use a tray because it will restrict the rump part from enhancing crusty.
• If you want that heat to contact food directly, then the grill is the best option. A grill allows the heat from the upper and downside area if you choose the tray instead of the grill, so it will not allow the heat from the downside area, which may become the bottom part more crusty. 
• You need to check it out after 5-7 minutes. If you are cooking pizza in the oven, it cooks fast, and rotate them if necessary.
• When cheese is becoming light brown, so it means it’s ready to eat.

I want to clarify your confusion that can you thaw frozen pizza before cooking it? It may help you to cook your pizza faster when you melt the pizza. But it may make a crust a little crispier. The crispier means that it can easily be broken or crumbled crisk. It may come out perfectly fine if you cook for a long time.
