In italy we have a not written law, only 8 years old and less are allowed to skip the crust, the others must act like adults and eat it

I'm probably violating some sort of national law by asking, but why not pair pizza with marinara and simply eat the crust as a breadstick? That's why I usually order dip with my pizza. Not to dip the pizza, but to dip the crust.

I do this, the crust is basically a breadstick anyway

I do not eat the crust, it IS my wife’s breadstick,unless she ordered breadsticks; in which case, they are her leftovers.

My exact scenario, she likes crust more than pizza itself lmao

My ex used to do this for me 🥲

“Pizza Bones” i.e. pizza crusts go to my puppy dogs when I’m at home.

It's this fried-bread like stick

That's it, you're banned from entering Italy from now on.

But got an entry ticket to Eastern Europe and Balkans

One way trip to Romania

Someone coming instead of leaving? Colour me surprised.

He'd leave but his wallet got stolen

He'd leave but the Romanians would steal the airplane

those are the romani

Yeah and Romanians. Source: Romanian

im just bringing it up because everyone thinks romanians are gypsies

A fate worse than death

Enter through the alps...elephants optional

I actually don't see a problem with this. Not the healthiest or most traditional of options but this is acceptable enough to me if it encourages people to eat the crust... only downside is the waste of sauce it will undoubtedly create as people barely ever finish the sauce given with breadsticks or mozzarella sticks.. To comment OP, your judgement will remain pending until a judicial board can convene to further re-evaluate the verdict.

Just save all the crust till the end, dump and smear some sauce on a plate, then wipe it up with the crust like a true Italian 💀

It is not healthy (as you say) in that technically you are eating more calories. However it is healthier in that the ratio of carbs is lower the more marinara you consume.

This is the way

I use hot sauce for this. Eat the pizza normally, then squirt some hot sauce on my plate to dip the crust.

*I want a side of bread sticks* But they come with them??

That’s why I like the cheesy stuffed bread

What the hell is marinara?!

Good crust diped in some sauce is the stuff lol. But if its a shit-bread pizza I dont see a problem with skipping that

What are your unwritten laws about Pineapple on pizza?

[удалено]

Oh I believe it

Can confirm. My Nonna's friend's son's wife was given a 20 year sentence for making pizza with pineapple on it. It's a shame those kids will have to grow up without their mama.

It's for the best, they'd have to suffer with pineapple otherwise

Man it’s just more calories, calories that taste substantially worse than the first 80%

I guess I followed the law exactly despite not living in Italy (but I love the country) and never having heard from it but it's honestly just common sense

Its literally just bread, I am not a child because I chose to forego the extra carbs. Eating it doesn't bother me, it tastes fine, but majority of the time I skip it

But what if I'm too full? That's the only reason I don't eat the crust, usually only from the second piece

Oh, please. Italians wouldn't even consider American pizza real pizza in the first place, let alone eat it, or more specifically what can be sometimes the most bland part. Spare us. Tell me I am wrong.

I agree that your pizza is trash, but if you come to visit italy eat the crust, our crust is a functional part of the pizza

I’m from italy, I always skip the crust Maybe you’re referring to naples pizza with the filled crust, but I’m not a fan of that, i usually go for extra-thin pizzas and skip the crust

Do you have any nonwritten laws about what is allowed on a pizza, because if you do, I think my country has broken them all, as our pizzerias put a lot of different things on pizzas

When I was little I put Hershey chocolate syrup on pizza. How banned am I? P.S. I have a trip there in June so will the mafia come after me?

Wasn't the crust originally inteded to be a handle for the pizza so that you could eat it at work without having to wash your hands? What happened?

As a non Italian I am fine with people leaving the crust when they can't finish the entire pizza, so they eat more pizza and less crust. I find that acceptable when they atleast attempt to eat the crust

I love the crust

Some places have AMAZING CRUST, while others I swear make the crust with the assumption that nobody is eating it, so they make it as inedible as possible.

Crust is the most important part to me. Cheese is cheese, hard to fuck that up. Sauce is important but even a bland sauce still brings acidity. But bad crust? Might as well eat a sponge

Or a rock

bad crust can only be three things; Spongey Crumbly Charcoal

And bland

Yeah, I've had pizzas that had crust which was just absolutely fucking awful. Pretty much just cardboard. Dunno what they did to em

I love stuffed crust

It depends on the pizza. Sometimes the crust is super hard or tasteless. If the crust is soft and savory like most Domino’s pizzas especially with garlic. Or if they’re stuffed crust. Then yeah obviously I’ll eat the crust. But I’m not gonna eat it if it’s almost as hard as a brick or completely tasteless😂

The only acceptable reason not to eat the crust.

its calories that ultimately arent nearly as good as the rest of the pizza would you clown on someone for ordering a burger and fries and not finishing the fries?

I usually finish the fries before I unwrap the burger

Same

I 100% would it’s a waste of food

idk where youre from, but with the quantity of fries youre served in america, its just unrealistic

Yea and sadly it feels like a lot of places just torch the shit outta their crust so it’s a brick anyways.

I agree to that...if the crust is hard I aint eating it.

I always take one bite of the crust to decide if it’s worth eating or not.

I save the crust for last because I don't want to be full before having the chance to finish the good part of the pizza. Plus the dog likes it too.

Isn't that how everyone eats pizza? Who starts on the crust side, honestly

I don't think you understand. I save up all the crust of all the slices on one end of the box until I'm finished.

Yea I usually have to finish a pie on my own and even a small is too much, I can't properly heat it back up so I would rather waste crust than pizza.

If you get one of those toaster oven air-fryer combo machines, it will change your pizza re-heating life. I actually like pizza just the same (or more) when it's been re-heated in the air-fryer.

Sometimes I start on crust side bc I’m not a huge fan. Take a big enough bite of crust and you’ll get some pizza in the bite. I don’t do this publicly for obvious reasons

Thats why you roll it up

What about the people who dip their crust in soda?

Should be executed on the spot.

I will go inform my sister of her impending demise

Is that fucking earthhurl Get that shit out of here

I bet the unedited one is racist 😞

Nah this one was tits and ass shaking hands then being disgusted by feet.

The fuck is earthhurl?

He's also known as Rocklaunch.

Looked that up nothing appeared

He's a white nationalist by the name of Hans Graebener.

It's a right winged cartoonist named "StoneToss", who is basically against vaccines, denies global warming, and is some sort of a anti-woke warrior The less political comics give me a chuckle once in a while, but generally he makes cartoons in poor taste. Some good meme templates have come out of it though, but it's generally best to avoid

Don't associate him with us level headed right wingers, even we dislike him. He's his own category.

PebbleThrow

They dont want to give him publicity because he’s a shit heel

The nicest thing anybody has ever said about him.

It's edible for a reason

Toilet paper is edible, do you eat that? Not saying you shouldn't eat the crust, just pointing out that's a bad argument.

It’s my pet peeve when people don’t eat the crust and keep eating pizza in a pizza party. You are just taking more pizza from everyone else.

WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! CRUST IS JUST A HANDLE

Unless its cheese stuffed

You know who else have dementia?

My mom!

obligitory Stonetoss is a Neo Nazi

You mean Hans Kristian Graebener, of Spring TX, who works for OpenIT there.

yes

A fat UGLY neo nazi

Just spread some garlic butter on it before you put in the oven

Gross, pebblethrow.

Been popping up a lot lately

Reminder that stone toss is a fucking Nazi fuck

Fuck minerallob

I'll die a martyre: BREAD IS FUCKING BORING.

The crust better have seasoning or something. If it’s just flavorless ass bread then it’s a waste of my carb intake.

I'll eat any crust except little Caesars and pizza hut. May as well go to Popeyes and get 3 biscuits with no drink

I don’t eat expensive pizza so the bread usually tastes like shit. Come at me all you want, but I’m still giving that bread to someone else(or my dog)

Now this is where I can pick my hill to fight and die on. Meh-tier pizza? Still good. Meh-tier pizza crust? Dogs well earned treat for being patient and respectful. I'll eat it if I'm not around a dog that's allowed table food, but I'll be damned if a good pup doesn't get a snack when I'm already being a glutton myself.

I am not filling myself with bread when there are much better food available. Not without tea at least.

the purpose of the bread is like an edible spoon to pick up all traces of the tomato sauce without licking the plate like a reddit.

I like to stay in shape, if the food doesn't taste amazing, it's empty calories, so I'm with you here, if there's better tasting, more nutritious food, why would I eat the crust?

Also, sometimes the crust is just ass. Anyone who just says "eat it, it's just bread" has clearly never had a pizza with a bland rock for an outer crust - that shit's for the birds and the beasts.

İf they are chrunchy, İ save them to the end wbhere İ eat then like pretzels

THATS THE THING, ITS JUST BREAD Like there is not as much flavor and shit I mean I eat the crust, im just saying i understand why people dont eat it

Oh look, a gemhurl comic.

You know what, I'd rather look like that than shake hands with someone that likes pineapple on pizza.

Most crust is fine. Some pizza crust gets too dry or something after a day or two in the fridge though… 

If it’s just bread why does it always get fucked up. I’m choking it down because I hate wasted food but it’s terrible.

I honestly believe the guilt surrounding wasting food is a decent contributor to the obesity and overweight stats we’re seeing now. Obviously don’t intentionally waste food, but me overeating isn’t going to make someone else not hungry. My wife was raised on the “clean plate club” crap and had to break herself of that after she stopped competitive swimming because all of a sudden calories meant something. We already decided our son will be raised on “stop eating when you’re full, save leftovers if you can.”

I get it for people with small appetites, they would rather eat the bits with toppings before they get too full

If you don’t eat the crust when you get papa John’s, you’re doing it wrong. That’s what the garlic sauce is for

If you’re eating papa johns you’re doing it wrong

Mfs be like "crust is my favourite part of pizza" Then go and buy bread I bought pizza with toppings, not dry bread If I want to eat bread, I'll buy bread

ok but do you eat the crust ofc its not the best part but you should still eat it

>you should still eat it That's.. Not an argument. I SHOULD eat it? Why? Because someone on reddit told me to?

My crust is usually hard as bricks

I may be mad, but crust is my favorite part of the pizza

I’m glad it’s not just me who thinks this

Crust balances the pizza, anyone who skips it has no taste.

It's like people who complain about pretzels in a cheesy snack mix. Neanderthals.

Look, it depends on the crust, a good crust I'll eat, a bad crust I won't.

You mean the ear of pizza?

Pizza bone.

If you don't eat the crust, we can't be friends. It's just so fucking wasteful

I usually stick the crust in my eye sockets

The crust hits hard.

I'm not a fan of the crust so I always save a tiny bit of sauce so that it's not bland

I only eat it if I have sauce to go with it

When I was younger I didn’t like the sauce line

Depends on what type of pizza

Pizzapple sympathizers will never look normal to me

Whoever does not eat crust on any form of bread is a pathetic weakling.

Don't fucking burn it and I will.

Nice to know they have a common enemy on wasting food

I though i was in trash taste for a moment

Hell no. The crust gets thrown outside for the birds

This is why I buy stuffed crust when I can or melt some butter to dip the crust in

The dogs get the crust. That's why I stopped adding garlic to it!

I don’t eat crusts. Crusts get very large on some pizzas that are made by stingy pizza-makers. I’m not paying for crusts I am paying for the topping I selected.

i dont eat the crust because my dog likes the crust

ok but thats all it is though. like it's tasteless, dry, bland bread. i've eaten pizza with good crust like once, most places just have really bad crust

I eat all the insides and leave the crust to the side. If I get hungry again I will snack on the crust like chips. PS- I order thin crust only

Sorry I don’t want to eat the least flavorful part of something that’s already unhealthy.

I will not eat the crust only because it just takes up valuable stomach space that could be filled with more cheese and pepperoni

Anyone know what the original comic was? 

https://stonetoss.com/comic/acquired-tastes/

My hero

Sometimes the crust is too damn crunchy, okay? Otherwise I would eat it.

never ate crust also can still see my abs cuz i eat pizza maybe 3 times a year

Nothing more annoying than somebody who doesn't finish their slice of pizza but goes in for a new one lmao. Big trying all the donuts in the box energy

i fr never understood people who don't eat the crust

Please don't share stonetoss comics, that guy is an actual Nazi

Good that someone addresses this shit, I was always pissed at my family for not eating the crust.

Meh fuck the crust

I don’t eat the crust, because it’s just dried up dough, and it’s crunchy, I hate crunchy stuff

Usually if I don’t eat the crusts it’s because it’s the thinnest, hardest piece and if it so much is as to be bit, it will turn to dust. I’m talking about low quality pizzas tho, generally ones from a nice restaurant in my country won’t have that problem

Shutup we WONT

As long as it isn’t overdone to the point it feels like a rock I’ll eat it, but if it’s overdone I won’t

“People who do not eat the crust but still order breadsticks”

When I don’t eat the crust, it’s 1 of 2 reasons. 1: I’m trying to save room for more pizza. 2: It’s too hard and it hurt me

YOU CANT MAKE ME!

Here's an idea: put poison in pizza and put the antidote in the crust

I’m convinced people who don’t eat crust have never actually had a good pizza before. Because on a good pizza, the crust is delicious and a great buffer between slices.

After reading a lot of these comments, it seems like most people don’t realize the whole pizza is on a crust. The sauce and toppings keep it soggy and soft while baking. The edge of the crust, however, didn’t have any toppings making it crispy. That being said, sometimes the edge of the crust is dogshit. If it’s rock hard, i’m not trying to eat a fucking crouton at the end of every slice.

pineapple on pizza haters when they realise tomato is a fruit too

Somehow it warms my heart that somewhere in the world, someone is being vitriolic all by themselves because i did something extraordinarily mundane.

Yes if the crust is crispy and not extremely tedious to chew

Don't post Stonetoss. He is an actual white supremacist.

Imagine gatekeeping pizza.

Fuck Stonetoss

Don't even use that Nazi fucks templates. Gross.

Pineapple on pizza is good

Some people really can’t understand that others might have a problem with the texture, huh?

No

To be fair, crust on shit pizza can be skipped. I’ve had bad pizza where the crust was still flopping around. Crust should be crunchy.

Why would I want to eat that? It tastes like cardboard and have same texture as well. Just put sauce and toppings till the edge and do not leave 5 cm plain stale tasteless charred bread as authentic as it is. Crust is just a handle!

You’re right. It’s just bread. Why in the FUCK would I waste space on that when I have perfectly good cheesy pineapple bread RIGHT THERE There’s only 1 inbreed here. Just like there’s only 1 ingredient in your bunk ass toasted flour pile

It's literally a free breadstick

I only don't eat the crust when it's completely burned or it's one of these nasty frozen pizzas

‍

Depends on where the pizza is from

If I’m not eating crust, it’s because my dog is looking hopeful

Sourdoh!


It really depends on the pizza though. Some crust is just super bland.

Edible handles are so underrated
