Found out the hard way that frozen pizza and a toaster oven don't mix

My $15 frozen pizza ended up as a smoky, melty mess inside my toaster oven last night because I forgot to check the heating element clearance, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has a go-to trick for rescuing dinner after a kitchen fail like that?

Oh man, you basically invented a new cooking method (toaster oven flambé) and I'm honestly impressed. For next time, scrape off what you can and just call it "deconstructed pizza" - that's what my mom always said about her burnt casseroles.

Add some garlic powder to the cheese next time too, it hides a lot of sins. Plus then you can say you were going for "charred rustic" instead of burnt.
