When a pizza is made with quality ingredients, properly fermented, and cooked correctly, the crust will showcase the depth of flavor, chewiness, crunchiness, and overall flavor profile. The toppings are there to improve upon this, not hide or replace it.
If you don’t like the crust of a pizza, then it’s probably not a very good pizza.

This is actually an unpopular opinion lol. Have an upvote
Agree, I always keep the good crust fir the last bite.
No seriously tho
Yesssssss the crust 🤤🤤🤤💕
I believe most genuine pizzaiolos would agree with you on this one.
“the toppings are there to improve upon this”- you just discounted your own opinion. If the crust is the “best” then the part with the toppings can’t be an improvement.
I like to grab a side of marinara and dip that crust.
The crust is the best part lovers when i give them a crust only pizza
I save the crust for my dog. To me the crust is simply the handle to move it to my mouth. Not mad about it though. Makes my dog like me more.
Edit to say, before anyone thinks I’m a weirdo, I do eat the crust that’s under the sauce. I’m specifically talking about the top part.
I enjoy leaving a little of the pizza toppings with the crust (I stop eating a little bit before the crust) and then I turn it sideways to mix the crust with the pizza toppings. It adds an entire section crispness and chewiness to the pizza
I always savor the crust after eating a pizza. I could never ever imagine throwing a crust away. I savor it
Crust:
a hard, dry scrap of bread.
“a kindly old woman might give her a crust”
Enjoy the upvote
Crust is good but definitely not the best part.
Did you post this just in spite of the guy who said square pizzas are best since there’s no crust? Lol
That’s called breadsticks
a pizza without a crust is still good imo. A pizza without the main part is js some crusty bread
Crust on pizza is delicious if you still have leftover sauces or toppings from pizza to soak it with.
Best? No. Good? Yes
It’s just bread
Pizza the true Italian way is just as much about the bread as the toppings (sauce is a topping).
Finally somebody gets me
I hate how thin pizza gets all the toppings sliding off and it flops around cuz it’s so thin and damp from the toppings
Just leave a little section of the toppings then eat the crust with it and that’s the best bit of each slice
I fucking love the pizza crust. It baffles me when people eat the whole slice and don’t want the crust. They always end up giving me the crust to eat.
only if it is a good pizza.
Has to be cheesy crust
I fell kinda attacked, but a good crust is a nice extra in the pizza.
I mainly going for cheese
It fucking should be. Good crust makes the pizza. That and good cheese.
Im with him on this one. I tend to leave a bit of pizza next to the crust and roll it up so there is some topping to the crust but by itself it’s still pretty good. Never in my life have I not eaten the crust.
It’s definitely the best if you don’t like soggy textures or if the toppings are average. I love the crust on neopolitan pizzas. It has a very spongy and airy texture that’s almost like a crunchier focaccia
i love pizza, but i loooove the crust (when it’s done right). it’s like a nice little breadstick at the end
Just eat bread
Mama’s Pizza in Ft. Worth has the best crust! Your opinion is not unpopular with me! I love good pizza crust!
you are 100000% correct, my crust loving comrade.
You don’t genuinely think this.
Crust can be good but I don’t agree all the toppings are just there to enhance the flavour if that were the case we would very commonly find just crust pizzas.
This is like saying the best part of the burger is the bun, the patty and toppings are just there to enhance the flavours of the bun.
If we’re assuming the crust is indeed the best part of a pizza, baking a pizza base with no toppings, sauce or cheese should feel just as rewarding/satisfying to eat as a pizza with all those things.
How can the toppings improve upon it if the crust is already the best part of the pizza?
That just seems like you’re arguing that the crust (or the dough + how it’s prepared to be more exact) plays the biggest part in making a good pizza. Not necessarily that the crust alone is better than the other parts where the dough is combined with toppings. Imo that’s not what most people would imagine if you said the crust is the best part.
Saying the crust is the best part of a pizza is a bit of a stretch, but I really love it and geniunely can’t understand people who eat pizza up until the crust and then throw away the crust. WHY?! It’s an edible, tasty part of a pizza, not candy wrapper.
I love plain bread unironically
Why do I agree so much with this?
The best part of the pizza is the marriage of everything in one bite. The crust can be delicious and I do occasionally eat it, but I find alot of crust to be severely lacking. I personally like the crust that is not too thick and is seasoned well like a garlic bread sticks. Those are amazing.
I literally don’t eat mine unless there is honey available to dip it in
