The application of smoke to a commercially prepared, pre-frozen pizza introduces a unique flavor profile not typically associated with this convenience food. This process involves exposing the frozen pizza to smoke, generated by burning wood or using a smoking device, for a specific duration and temperature. The smoke permeates the pizza, imparting smoky notes to the crust, cheese, and toppings.
This practice enhances the sensory experience of consuming frozen pizza by adding complexity and depth to its taste. Historically, smoking techniques were employed to preserve food and enhance its flavor. In the context of frozen pizza, it serves to elevate a readily available meal option to a more gourmet or artisanal level, potentially mimicking the flavor of pizzas prepared in wood-fired ovens.
