Multi bake technology

You prep the crust, brush with olive oil and then pop in the min 500
degree oven on the well preheated pizza stone to pre cook. Take it out
when it starts to get lightly golden brown, add toppings and put back on
the pizza stone until the cheese has melted and has a few browned spots.

The olive oil and pre baking crisp and seal the crust so the sauce and /
or toppings can't make it soggy. I always pre prep my topping
ingredients so I don't have to worry about how much time they get in the
oven.
