    “Crust” makes it sound like superfluous detritus. It’s cornicione! Pizza is mostly bread, so if the bread is bad then it’s not worth eating.

    Neapolitan pizza has a high hydration dough cooked at very high temp, resulting in a delightfully light cornicione filled with large air pockets. The bread is delicious enough to enjoy on its own, which is why it only needs simple toppings like uncooked San Marzano tomato and a few shreds of mozarella. IMO Italian cuisine excels at allowing high quality produce speak for themselves through its simplicity and elegance. What they’re shitting out at Papa Johns and whatever is an abomination.

    It depends on the quality of the crust, and just how much pizza i’ve already eaten, a man’s gotta have a code.

    Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.

    How to eat crust

    • Method 1: Finish main portion of slice, then raw dog crust

    • Method 2: Finish main portion of slice, then dip in preferred sauce or orifice.

    • Method 3: Puree entire slice and insert into mouth hole via straw or funnel.

    • Method 4: Roll pizza slice around crust, creating a Swiss Pizza Roll. slice into wheels 1/4-1/2" thick width. Use 4 Pizza Wheels, several toothpicks, and one additional slice of pizza to create a PizzaMobile. Race your friends or pet or imaginary friend to see who can make the fastest PizzaMobile!

    • Method 5: Throw crust in the trash can and stare at it for 5-10 minutes. Glare loathingly at it; make it understand exactly how disgusted you are by its lack of sauce, cheese, and toppings. What a piece of shit…

    You eat the base of the pizza there? That’s crazy. It’s like eating a paper plate. You are supposed to eat only the topping. Next you’re gonna say you eat the bread that wraps your sandwiches.

    I always thought, the crust is why they give a dipping sauce with pizza. At least that’s the reason I make garlic sauce when I make pizza.
