Frozen pizza budget hack backfired big time

I tried the old trick of buying the store brand frozen pizza and adding my own toppings to save money. Last Friday I loaded it with pepperoni and extra cheese, but I forgot to check the bake time and burned the bottom while the middle stayed doughy. Do you guys have a go-to cheap pizza upgrade that actually works, or should I just stick to the $5 takeout special?

Store brand pizzas are like those cheap DIY projects where you end up spending twice as much time and money just to get something worse than the premade version. The real hack is to cook it on a wire rack over a baking sheet, that keeps the bottom crispy while the middle actually cooks through. Most people ignore the instruction on the back and just wing it, but those frozen pizzas have a narrow window between raw and burnt. Honestly, the $5 takeout special is probably the smarter move, we all love pretending we’re saving cash but convenience wins every time in real life.
