Minnesota Pizza Brand Shares Genius Crispy Crust Hack

The crew at one of the best-known pizza brands here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes is behind a pro-tip life hack that is pure genius-- and worth sharing again!

Pizza has to be one of my favorite foods. In fact, it may be my FAVORITE food, the one I could probably eat every day and not get sick of it-- mainly because there are so many different kinds.

When it comes to frozen pizza, one of my favorites is Heggies Pizza, which was founded and is still made right here in Minnesota, up north in Milaca, which is a little over an 2 and-a-half hours northwest of Rochester.

Their pizza is loaded with tons of cheese (which I love) but also has a thin, crispy crust (which my wife loves). And if you like a little extra crunch on your pizza, it was a few years ago that the crew at Heggies invented what has to be one of the most genius pro tips I've ever seen. (And I've seen a LOT of pizzas!)

Usually, when you make a frozen pizza, you bake it in the oven (or cook it on the grill), cut it, and then dive in. (And if you're impatient like me, you always eat it waay too soon and end up burning your mouth because it's so hot.)

But it was back in 2021 that Heggies came up with a genius pro tip that says you should cut the pizza FIRST. That's right, Heggies just blew my mind by suggesting you cut the pizza (and separate the pieces a bit) BEFORE you bake it.

This technique then gives you even MORE crispiness-- because all sides of each piece are actually an 'end'. If you love some extra crispiness on your pizza, it's brilliant! Why didn't we think of this before?!?

Why Cutting Pizza Before Baking Makes It Crispier

Now, I'm perfectly happy making a Heggies Pizza the standard way-- because I'm not obsessed with those crispy edges. But if you'd like more crispiness on your pie, this pro tip from a few years ago can still change how you make a frozen pizza!
