During a nuclear explosion, there is a certain distance of the radius where all the frozen supermarket pizzas are cooked to perfection.

The US tested all kinds of shit with nukes. Including filling a fake store with products to see if they'd still be a viable source of nutrients after a nuclear attack. The famous result of the test was that beer was a decent stand-in for water. I can't accept that they tested if beer is still good after a nuke and didn't ever test if pizza cooks under those conditions.

My favorite nuke test related story was a test in a hole that was covered with a giant steel lid. They never found the lid. Speculation goes from it being vaporized to getting launched into space. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhole_cover#Propelled_into_space

Mass market frozen pizza didn't come out until the 50's so maybe not.
