Former pizza chef Gretchen Holm recommended adding lemon zest or drizzling some fresh lemon juice lightly over a hot pizza to Insider, saying the citrus adds a level of freshness that is hard to come by in the freezer section. The lemon's zing provides an unexpected bright note to what could have been an unsurprising and basic dish.
If the tangy taste of lemon juice or zest is too much for you, you can try using lemon-infused olive oil instead. In addition to imparting some of that desired brightness Holm is after, the Institute of Culinary Education shares that brushing a little olive oil on pizza crust before baking can help achieve that crispy, perfect golden-brown color.
If you're really craving freshness, you can up the ante on this frozen pizza hack by tossing arugula with lemon and olive oil and using that simple salad to top the finished pie (via The Takeout). Not only is it full of flavor, but the addition of the lemony greens can make an otherwise mediocre slice fresh, fun, and colorful.
If a lemon-enhanced frozen pizza is inspiring creativity in the kitchen, then don't stop there! When you're a little less pressed for time (hey, you probably aren't choosing frozen pizza because you're looking for a culinary project) white clam pizza served with lemon wedges is a great spin on the tip to try from scratch.
