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

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 4 days 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 7 points 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days 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

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!

[–] Tenkard@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I leave it for last, and if I feel full I just don't eat it. Unless I'm eating it at home, then it becomes bearkfast for the next day

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 3 days 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.

[–] KittyCat@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days 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 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] pulido@lemmings.world 4 points 4 days ago

The best part?

[–] orenj@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I only eat the crust.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

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

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Depends, do you eat the crust first?

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The crust is for the garlic cream.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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?

[–] trinsec@piefed.social 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely no problem, I love the crust!

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days 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.

Or pineapple juice

Tomato sauce!

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days 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.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

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

Do the old fold and drip.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago

I think the crust is good but not as good as the rest of the pizza. Of course, I will still eat the crust along with the non-crust part.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 days ago

Crusts are breadsticks

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

You use the crust to build huts. Obviously.

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
