I prepared Caulipower frozen pizzas using four different appliances.Carolina Gazal
I made frozen pizzas using the oven, stovetop, microwave, and grill.
Making pizza in the microwave was an easy and quick process but produced a sad, soggy slice.
As a native New Yorker, pizza is one of my all-time favorite meals, whether I'm enjoying a slice at a sit-down restaurant or heating up a frozen pizza.
I cooked my favorite pizza in the oven, over the stovetop, in a microwave, and on the grill to see which appliance could yield the crispiest, melty slice. I'd only ever done so in the oven, so I was excited to see the results.
Here's how each appliance stacked up.
