Not enough corn syrup on that bit.

i think they just love wasting food at this point.

It can be surprisingly difficult to get good crust in the US. But I can understand not always wanting to eat the crust in America because some pizzarias just don’t care enough to make a good dough.

Spoiled kids, mostly. I grew up broke and we had to eat everything we were given, or go hungry. But a lot of the kids I grew up around were much better off financially and could afford to not eat the parts they disliked.

Throwing away the crust is just wasting food.

You clearly forgot to order your pizza with cheese-filled crust
Emerald@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I tried that once. Didn’t even taste much better. And now I’m a vegan so unless its mock cheese I’ll never have a chance to try it again.

That’s sad. It’s the best thing that has ever been invented

But my dog expects the crust. I’d never let him down

You aren’t supposed to knead the pizza dough on your dog bro. Imagine all the hair in your pizza.

Born and raised in us never understood it I eat the crust unless the it has the consistency of charcoal
RandomVideos@programming.dev 9 months ago
The crust is(most of the tine) the best part of the pizza. I sometimes only eat the crust
Deepus@lemm.ee 9 months ago
No its not. Why would i want to eat a piece of boring bread, when there is a combination of thats same bread, cheese, tomato, and what ever toppings i choose.
Saying “Crust is the beat part” is just dumb and blatantly non-sensical when you look at pizza as a whole.
greedytacothief@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Some places/people are really good at making a good crust. Then you’re not eating boring bread, but really good bread. And who doesn’t love good bread.
Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 months ago
I disagree and you are wrong. Plus you’re lacking in intellectual prowess.
RandomVideos@programming.dev 9 months ago
But what if my favorite part is the boring bread? The combination doesnt add to the taste, it just changes the taste so if i prefer the bread over the tomato, cheese and toppings, the combination will just make the taste worse
Also, for context, i often eat an entire loaf of bread without anything else
LotrOrc@lemmy.world 9 months ago
But my dog loves the crust and I don’t so when I get pizza he gets really happy
Why should I take that away from him lol
elfpie@lemmy.eco.br 9 months ago
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.

If your husband has a cheesy crust, wash under his foreskin

you might find a bean or two in there. add them to the jar

Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.
randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 9 months ago
When I was in grade school, I used to only eat the crust. I hated the center part with its tomatoes and cheese and stuff.

Oh, you mean the pizza. You hated the pizza. You liked 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…
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 9 months ago
- Method 6: Get a good New York style slice and you won’t even think about it being crust.

A real adult knows not to eat empty carbs.
Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 9 months ago
If you’re already eating pizza then you’re not really worried about carb intake.
snooggums@midwest.social 9 months ago
What is portion control anyway?
Bertuccio@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah. There’s nothing wrong with the crust, but if you’re going to blow your carb budget on a pizza at least keep the pleasure:carb ratio as high as possible.
nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 9 months ago
As mentioned above: if the crust is not delicious you’re eating a bad pizza
adhocfungus@midwest.social 9 months ago
I used to think like the OP/image, but now I’m in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don’t enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.
I understand the food waste argument, but it’s wasted whether you eat it or not. You’re wasting just as much if you don’t eat the peel of the banana.
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 9 months ago
Empty carbs in moderation are fine, it’s not like they’re poisonous or anything.
snooggums@midwest.social 9 months ago
It sure is!
I’m just disagreeing with the idea that eating every part of prepared food is some kind of obligation.

If that was a genuine consideration you would not have eaten a Pizza

Pizza is legally a vegetable it is a healthy food.
cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 9 months ago
The crust is probably the healthiest part of the entire pizza tbh.
Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 months ago
What the hell are you putting on pizza that a burnt piece of bread is the healthiest part?

“We’re now live at Mr Plohmann’s who’s voluntarily eaten nothing but pizza crust for four years.”

“You still eating that?”

That’s notfunny
pewpew@feddit.it 9 months ago
Agree.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I make my own pizza, and I always put stuff on the crust to make it interesting to eat in its own right. Usually I alternate little chunks of himalayan sea salt, roasted garlic, and black garlic every inch or so around the outside. Makes it into a sort of weird but tasty pretzel.
I have tried making stuffed crust pizza by folding the outside edge back over some cheese, but it always opens up while cooking in the oven. I don’t know what the secret is to that shit. Maybe I should use staples?
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Keep the seal clear of toppings and sauce, and use water to stick the crust to the base. Wet flour is a great glue, tomato sauce and cheese are not.
jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 9 months ago
When I make my own pizza I use the spare sauce as a dip. Bit of olive oil and fresh basil over the whole thing makes the crust pretty much as nice as the rest.
Also for the stuffed I think you have to do more of a burrito roll type thing so that the edge is trapped by the weight of the stuffing.
0ops@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I like to do new Haven style pies. With those there isn’t much crust in the first place, so I try to spread the sauce as close to the edge as I can

i dont care if y’all downvote me, i’m NEVER eating the crust!,
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
My method is to eat the crust first save for a tiny handle, making it an appetizer. It tastes best when I’m hungriest, before proceeding with the cheesy, greasy main course.
aulin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No. I will not eat the handles. Why waste my appetite on dry bread?

SSJMarx@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Look man, if I’m eating pizza I’m already cheating, I don’t need to shove even more carbs down my gullet.
woelkchen@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Then eat a smaller pizza instead of being wasteful.
howrar@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
The smaller the pizza, the more crust there is relative to non-crust.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 months ago
just get a pizza without crust? i’m sure most places can do that for you if you ask nicely, and if you get a pizza kit it’s literally just a matter of putting topping all the way to the edge.
_____@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I used to eat the crust but now as an older human the bread shreds my insides and I’ve noticed that not eating it helps.
jodanlime@midwest.social 9 months ago
I love the crust. But sometimes I don’t need the extra carbs.
Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 9 months ago
If you don’t feel like eating the crust, you’re having a shitty pizza.
thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 9 months ago
Agreed. Just crushed a pizza and the crust was awesomely good
Scolding7300@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Unless you’re trying to maximize protein to carb ratio when eating a pizza (if your top priorityis to eat the pizza). But then, are you really eating a pizza if you don’t eat the crust?
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Marcos is where it’s at.
People like to shit on little sneazers too but they’re pizza is made from the shame shit as their crazy bread.
Also all crust tastes fire when dipped in a vat of garlic butter.
pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
But I like the cheese and topping part a lot more so way eat extra calories?
Alternatively…

Make me?
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Apparently you’ve been eating substandard pizza, because really good pizza crust is a delight unto itself.
However if you insist you only like the toppings, you have 2 choices:
Find a life partner who loves crust.
Just bake the toppings in/on a sheet pan and eat them directly from it, without crust.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Even when our dough is off, it’s oiled and garlicked. I find it hard to argue with the garlic.
