US Classification:

426113, 206564

Abstract:

A frozen pizza and tray combination includes a bakeable single-used disposable tray including a holding surface and a frozen pizza. The holding surface has a substantially flat cooking side and an opposite oven-engaging side. The frozen pizza includes a crust and toppings on the crust. The crust has a bottom surface positioned on and against the cooking side of the flat holding surface of the bakeable tray. The frozen pizza includes a cut arrangement extending through a thickness of the crust. The cut arrangement includes a cut line having uncut portions of the crust along the cut line. A method of making a combination frozen pizza and bakeable tray includes slicing the pizza with at least one cut line into individual serving pieces and leaving uncut portions along the cut line such that no individual serving piece is disconnected from a remaining portion of the pizza, and placing the sliced pizza into a bakeable tray to form a sliced pizza and tray arrangement, and then freezing the sliced pizza and tray arrangement. A method of making a pizza includes taking a frozen pizza and tray combination including a bakeable single-use disposable tray, wherein the frozen pizza includes a cut arrangement including a cut line having uncut portions along the cut line and putting the combination into an oven. Next, the combination is baked to result in a cooked pizza on the tray. Next, the tray holding the cooked pizza is removed from the oven, and the cooked pizza is divided into individual serving pieces by breaking the uncut portions of the crust. The tray is then disposed.
