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
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.
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
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!
I don't know, I really like thin crust pizza with toppings all the way to the edge, square cut. There is no crust.
The crust is for the garlic cream.
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?
I want a pizza cow… :(
What would come out of the udders?!

Tomato sauce!
Mozzarella!
Absolutely no problem, I love the crust!
Me too unless its that greasy "greek style" garbage that was probably frozen for months.
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.
JUST a pizza cutter?
I'm going to be the heathen, the crust on a good pizza is the best part.
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.
On a good pizza, the crust is basically fresh bread. Fresh bread is delicious.
Come to Europe one day, buy bread and enjoy that and buy pizza and enjoy that.
That sounds way more expensive than getting fresh pizza with a good flavorful crust recipe.
Sure but you'll change your mind about which part is best :))
The best part?
It's a bonus breadstick for dipping in that garlic sauce and dousing the bonus pepper. What's not to love?
I only eat the crust.
May i reccomend skipping the middle man and buying a loaf of crusty bread?
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.
I just add toppings that counter it. Like pickled jalapeño.
Do the old fold and drip.
You use the crust to build huts. Obviously.
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.
It is body
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
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.
Jokes aside, this is both great tribute and super-disrespectful.
Was that the intended aim?
This is basically Bugsnax
