Can you cook pizza without a pan?
If you are baking a frozen pizza, you can place it directly on an oven rack. Just bake it for 10 minutes at 425F and nothing leak. All of the frozen pizzas I’ve ever purchased actually tell you to put it right on the rack in the instructions! What I’ve found works very nicely is a baking stone or a rimmed baking sheet turned upside down, with parchment between the stone and the pizza. The parchment will not be hot, and you can pull the pizza out by the edge of the parchment. Remember that parchment starts to crisp up and be very brittle at temperatures over 450°F.
Do you have to put frozen pizza on a pan?
The oven rack should cook a frozen pizza, pizza with a pre-made crust, or reheated cooked pizza. Because of the gaps in the oven rack, raw pizza dough should not be placed directly on the oven rack. Because of its rigidity, pre-made or frozen pizza can be safely baked on an oven rack.
Is it okay to put frozen pizza directly in the oven?
You can cook pizza directly on the oven rack if it is a frozen pizza, a cooked pizza that needs reheating, or a pizza with a pre-made crust. However, you can’t cook pizza directly on the oven rack if you have made the dough from scratch.

Can I put pizza on aluminum foil in the oven?
Aluminum foil can be used to cook pizza on the oven rack to stop it falling through. The foil is not good used with a pizza stone as it stops the stone working by preventing it drawing moisture from the base. Foil also reflects heat away from the pizza rather than transferring it efficiently.
If you’re a pizza-making beginner and haven’t bought a stone, you can still make a flavorful pizza using your oven and a cookie sheet. Pizza baked on a cookie sheet is somewhat crisp with a thicker crust, much like custom deep dish pizzas that are made in pizza restaurants.
