I gave my co-worker some of my homemade pizza for lunch and she didn't eat the crust. I felt invalidated as a human being. That shit was flawless - pillowy chew with great mouth feel and just the right amount of brown. Someone needs to stop these psychopaths.

I'm going to be the heathen, the crust on a good pizza is the best part.

[–] pulido@lemmings.world 3 points 16 hours ago

The best part?

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What is to you a good pizza? If you like the crust better, we might have a different concept of what a good pizza is.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

On a good pizza, the crust is basically fresh bread. Fresh bread is delicious.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Come to Europe one day, buy bread and enjoy that and buy pizza and enjoy that.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds way more expensive than getting fresh pizza with a good flavorful crust recipe.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

Sure but you'll change your mind about which part is best :))

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I only eat the crust.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

May i reccomend skipping the middle man and buying a loaf of crusty bread?

[–] orenj@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 18 hours ago

It's a bonus breadstick for dipping in that garlic sauce and dousing the bonus pepper. What's not to love?

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

Depends, do you eat the crust first?

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was wondering why the arrow head had something that looks like an aura surrounding it. Turns out the head is just a pizza cutter.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

JUST a pizza cutter?

What kind of person leaves the crust? Pizza ain’t pizza without the crust.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 14 hours ago

I don't know, I really like thin crust pizza with toppings all the way to the edge, square cut. There is no crust.

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Probably people eating crappy or stale pizza, a good fresh pizza has delicious crust, but let it sit and it turns tough, dry and chewy

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes the only time I would leave the crust is if the pizza is old and stale, and it needs to be really stale, basically as long as it's not harder than my teeth I'll still eat the crust.

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Somewhat stale pizza can also be quickly improved by throwing a slice into an air fryer for a couple minutes, even crisping up the crust a bit

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's nice but I also enjoy cold pizza out of the fridge tbh. Just that issue with the crust after 24/48h

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Kids tend to leave the crust because it doesn't have all the texture and flavor of the cheesy, saucy main part. My kids will happily eat crusts if offered after they've left the table, but it doesn't occur to them to eat it when there's more pizza to eat!

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Crust is important to counter the greasiness of the center. When I eat pizza, I alternate between the center and the crust so that the average mouth feel on any two consecutive bites remains roughly the same.

Do the old fold and drip.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I just add toppings that counter it. Like pickled jalapeño.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

You use the crust to build huts. Obviously.

[–] trinsec@piefed.social 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Absolutely no problem, I love the crust!

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Me too unless its that greasy "greek style" garbage that was probably frozen for months.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The crust is for the garlic cream.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I have to try making this instead of garlic butter next time. Is it just garlic, salt, and heavy whipping cream? Or maybe Mexican cream?

What would come out of the udders?!

Or pineapple juice

Tomato sauce!

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 0 points 15 hours ago

Jokes aside, this is both great tribute and super-disrespectful.

Was that the intended aim?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 day ago

Crusts are breadsticks

What sound does a Pizza beast make?

I'm going to start a fight now by revealing that I dip the crusts in milk sometimes.

Half condensed milk, half sugar, add vinegar until it thickens stirring well, add some garlic to taste.

Great dipping souce. Halifax donair sauce also fantastic with garlic fingers
