Cooking shop bought pizzas
Discussion

Bear in mind that homemade will be using freshly prepared dough, whereas shop bought will be at least part-baked, so need similar oven conditions to part baked bread.
The pizzas I buy most regularly range from 170°C to be 200°C (fan) because of their differing styles.
Eh? Nobody part bakes pizza. Shop bought chilled vs frozen pizza are the same, apart from the freezing. Places like Domino’s also use fresh dough and toppings. The pizzas I buy most regularly range from 170°C to be 200°C (fan) because of their differing styles.

Pretty straight forward question about oven temp
I know that you need an oven as hot as humanly possible for a proper homemade effort, but for a shop bought oven pizza is it best to stick to their guidelines (usually 180 or so) or do you go for as hot as possible as per homemade?
They spend days working out the best way to cook these pizzas, so I would follow what they suggest.

The bases especially on supermarket create your own are part baked. Your not going to get that uniform circle without it. sherman said:

I agree Dominos must use fresh dough and toppings. How do they make it so bad for you though?
I rarely buy it, but on the odd occasion I do, I feel so guilty about how bad it is for me.

Though I often believe experts, I'm always amazed at how many ready meal type foods are cook at 180.I could spend far less than days not reading the instructions and cooking at 180 and it would work for most stuff.
It's pre prepared, usually poor food. As long as its hot im not sure it really matters!
If it helps, here’s the official top 3 bristolbaron recommended shop bought pizzas:
3rd: Budget choice. A top effort from Lidl, at £3.29 this exceptional value pizza far outweighs the quality expected from a budget chain.
2nd: supermarket convenience. Sainsbury’s £4.50 option has the added excitement of Nduja, whatever that is it packs a punch and makes this a weekly favourite.
1st: Premium pizzering. This isn’t just any pizza, this is M&S pizza. At £5 it’s a definite jump from Lidl and is also slightly smaller. All is forgiven though, the soft fluffy base makes this feel fresh and has a naan like quality to it. Bloody pain in the ass to get to an M&S, but worth the trip. Pick up some hot & spicy chicken fillets whilst you’re there.
