I know this is a silly question but can you cook a frozen pizza on the round stone? I use my stones with frozen stuff all the time.
 
Yes you sure can! They taste so much better cooked on the stone compared to a metal pan; my hubby even could tell the difference the first time I made one on the stone.
You can do prepared frozen foods on the stoneware....just make sure your meat, poultry & fish is completely thawed or it could break your stone!
 
Here's another great tip:

When you call the pizza delivery guy turn your oven on and put your stone in it. When the pizza arrives take the stone out of the oven and remove the pizza from the box and put it on the hot stone. The crust will crisp up and the pizza stays hot longer.
 
Ooooh, good tip Beth. Thanks!

Ohooooo awsome tip!!!!!!
 
When I order pizza it is because I don't want to turn on my oven or get my stone out, LOL!!

Yes, but the stone gets rid of all that grease!;)
People are amazed when I tell them this tip; thanks for reminding me Beth!
 
I usually don't buy frozen pizza - I prefer to make my own. BUT....With life being on the spin cycle these days I broke down and bought a couple of Digorno Pizza. I cooked the wheat thin crust Thursday night (to eat in front of GA) - It was fabulous!! Didn't taste like a frozen pizza.
 
We rarely order out but a lot of my customers do and they love that tip - another use for their stone!
 
I had a guest tell me she NEVER seasoned her stone - Papa Murphy's did LOL!!
 
My sister used to work at Papa Murphy's so every night the premade pizzas that were made had to be taken home. At one point we had nothing in our freezer but Papa Murphy's pizza! I haven't eaten it since I moved out of my mom's house :) LOL!

Love it, Beth! Thanks. I'll be sure to use that tip!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare a frozen pizza on a Round Stone?

To prepare a frozen pizza on a Round Stone, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza packaging. Place the frozen pizza directly on the Round Stone without thawing it. Bake according to the package instructions, usually around 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

Can I use a Round Stone for any type of frozen pizza?

Yes, you can use a Round Stone for various types of frozen pizzas, including thin crust, thick crust, and stuffed crust. The Round Stone is designed to distribute heat evenly, ensuring that all types of pizzas cook well.

Do I need to grease the Round Stone before placing the pizza on it?

No, you do not need to grease the Round Stone before placing the frozen pizza on it. The stone's natural non-stick surface will help prevent the pizza from sticking. However, if you prefer, you can lightly dust the stone with flour or cornmeal for added assurance.

How do I clean my Round Stone after cooking a frozen pizza?

After cooking, allow the Round Stone to cool completely. Use a scraper or a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Avoid using soap or soaking the stone, as this can damage its seasoning. For tough stains, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub gently.

Can I cook multiple frozen pizzas at once on the Round Stone?

It is recommended to cook one frozen pizza at a time on the Round Stone for optimal results. Cooking multiple pizzas at once may affect the heat distribution and cooking time, leading to unevenly cooked pizzas. If you need to cook more than one, consider using additional baking stones or trays.
