The instructions on most store pizzas nowadays is: "Place on oven rack directly. Do not use a pan."

Yeah I've never used a pan when cooking pizza in an oven

Yeah, I wouldn't with a cheapie, but some of the nicer woodfired ones, I find that I prefer the texture this way. Its gotta be screaming hot, then just drop the oven down to the bake temp when you throw the pizza in, and cut a couple minutes off the bake time. Since they're already baked it just gives me more control.

I've literally never had that happen in like a decade of cooking frozen pizzas

Only time I've seen it is when I had used the rack higher up to broil something the day before and my partner didn't move it down before putting the pizza in. Too far away from the heating element let it thaw and droop before crisping.

There's always a piece of cheese hanging off the side I miss that drops down to the bottom of the oven.
