Doneness Target
No USDA safety minimum for vegetables. Done when fork-tender with bright color.
Pizza has no required internal temperature — it's done when the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, the crust is set, and the bottom is crisp. If the pizza contains raw meat toppings (sausage, ground beef), those toppings must reach their own safe internal temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I bake a pizza at 450°F?
+
A standard frozen pizza takes 11–15 minutes at 450°F. Homemade pizza on a preheated stone takes 14–18 minutes. Thin-crust pizzas finish in 8–12 minutes — check early to avoid burning.
Can I put a frozen pizza in the air fryer?
+
Yes, if the pizza fits the basket (usually personal-size or 7-inch pizzas). Cook at 380°F for 8–12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes — air fryers run hotter than their dial suggests.
What temperature is best for homemade pizza?
+
As hot as your oven goes. Most home ovens max out at 500–550°F. Preheat a pizza stone or steel for at least 45 minutes at max temperature before sliding the pizza onto it. High heat = crispy crust and fast cook.
Should I bake pizza on the rack or a pan?
+
Frozen pizza: directly on the rack for a crisper bottom (put a sheet pan on the rack below to catch drips). Homemade: always on a preheated stone, steel, or inverted cast-iron skillet.
