If you don’t feel like eating the crust, you’re having a shitty pizza.
Agreed. Just crushed a pizza and the crust was awesomely good
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?
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.
I hope this comment burns this into your memory and one day, when you’ve had a proper slice of whichever style ends up being your favorite, you think about what you said.
But I like the cheese and topping part a lot more so way eat extra calories?
Alternatively…

Make me?
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.
It’s not just toppings, but it’s all of them together that I prefer. 1’s good advice though for sure
My substandard pizza is like $4, edible crust isn’t worth the difference when an upgrade is slightly less substandard pizza.
-
Even when our dough is off, it’s oiled and garlicked. I find it hard to argue with the garlic.
Fuck that.
- You’re a grown ass adult, eat whatever you want
If you don’t like the taste of crust and have enough money that you don’t need to make use of every piece of food, then don’t eat the crust.
If you don’t like the taste of crust but think it has some benefit, then eat the crust.
If you don’t like the taste of crust but are broke and want to eat the crust to feel full so you can spend more money on other stuff, then eat the crust.
If you like the taste of crust but want to save the crusts to make an art piece out of them, then don’t eat the crust.
YOU’RE AN ADULT, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, DON’T LET SOCIETY PRESSURE YOU TO DO OTHERWISE

I fully agree with them and i eat the crust
I fully agree with them and I don’t eat pizza.
Top-notch detective work
Counterpoint: Society should be pressuring people not to increase food waste just because they can afford throw stuff away for no reason.
People throwing away crust isn’t even a grain of sand in the ocean of food waste. But as stated in my original comment, you can choose to eat the crust if that feels important to you. And even though you would be wrong for pressuring other people to eat crusts, the other person should do whatever the fuck they want despite your pressuring
This opinion is a similar vein as “there’s no point recycling plastic because most plastic waste is caused by industry”. We are all grains of sand on this earth. And in turn we are all full of microplastics.
Plastics recycling doesn’t happen much because it is an expensive process, and new plastic is too cheap. Even if you put it in the blue recycling bin, it’s fairly unlikely that it actually gets recycled and used again.
Metals actively get recycled well. Paper and glass recycle okay, but in practice also face problems.
Some coverage:
https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/glass-recycling.htm
Yes there is a problem with more disposable, non-recyclable plastics being used. Of course that’s on industry to fix. That does not mean plastic recycling is pointless. If you’re in the privileged position to literally have a bin specifically for that, recyclable plastics will be filtered out and recycled. If you have that and they don’t, that’s on your municipality to fix. Deciding to not bother with the process which is right there in front of you because you read it’s “not 100%” is super dumb.
Waste management experts say the problem with plastic is that it is expensive to collect and sort. There are now thousands of different types of plastic, and none of them can be melted down together. Plastic also degrades after one or two uses. Greenpeace found the more plastic is reused the more toxic it becomes.
New plastic, on the other hand, is cheap and easy to produce. The result is that plastic trash has few markets — a reality the public has not wanted to hear.
From the NPR source I listed earlier. Industry has no interest or ability in fixing this issue by recycling, and vanishingly few municipalities are likely to subsidize plastics recycling to a level at which it makes an appreciable dent in plastic waste.
The plastics industry has cynically forwarded the idea of plastics recycling despite knowing it was unfeasible. We need to drastically reduce plastic use, and probably limit the types of plastic produced for the sorting problem to be mitigated enough that recycling or a clean disposal method is feasible.
Right. As I said (whether or not they have interest) the fix for usage, production and sorting is on them. Much like if you have plastics recycling available, it is absolutely on you to use it.
Plastic is a finite resource that is not going to disappear from global usage any time soon. Just throwing your hands up and saying “only x% actually gets recycled” or “where I live they don’t do it well” is just adding to the existing problem.
Just fucking recycle.
Actually there’s no point in recycling plastic because the plastic you put in the recycling bin ends up in a landfill anyway, so yes we should be going after the industries instead of blaming individuals
That very much depends on where you live. Deciding to not recycle because you think it doesn’t get done properly in your locality is just as dumb as not recycling because you think industry is a bigger polluter.
I understand that climate change isn’t being entirely caused by you not recycling properly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a shitty move to just say fuck it and not even bother trying.

Imagine, long after humans are extinct and the things we created are obliterated or decayed into their component parts. Other life has taken over and the planet has done its volcanic and plate shifting things, the rains and oceans have done their erosion. Then another highly intelligent species evolves.
First of all they’re going to have a hard time with their industrial revolution because we took all the easy metals and fossil fuels, but maybe the planet has had enough time to churn some things up.
This new species marvels at the qualities of a certain stratified layer rarely observed above ground. Eventually drilling leads to a discovery of this layer over most of the earth. And it’s fucking plastic.
5% worldwide? It absolutely matters where you live. Look at progressive countries and you will see that it is not that low a percentage when people actually make an effort: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/waste/waste-packaging/pong/tables-and-graphs/recycling-targets/
None of this knowledge is a reason to not use recycling when it is available. When you have a waste bin and a recycling bin and just put plastics in the waste, that’s a douche move.
guess you never learned to finish your plate.
there’s kids starving in Africa for fucks sake
Yeah me not cleaning my plate doesn’t magically give them food.
/s I assume?
We never insult you tongue in cheek. We do that for others, but for you we really mean it.

But that’s exactly what i said - do whatever the fuck you want! If you want to eat the crust so you don’t create as much food waste, then eat the crust! You’re an adult, you can do whatever you want!
If you eat food just because you “Don’t want to waste it”, you become the wastebin.
I’ll mail the leftover crusts to “children in Africa”, maybe that will solve the world hunger.
Or, you know, someone in need nearby. There are homeless people eating out of garbage and families using food banks everywhere. But then you’d also look like an asshole for just giving them a bunch of crusts instead of a whole slice.
How about just not buying more food than you can eat? Or save a couple of slices for the next day? Or give someone else a slice before you fill up on the inner circle of your plate of food?
Have you ever been outside?
-
Homeless people aren’t just everywhere. Normal countries deal with homeless people properly - they house them and take care of them
-
I don’t know how much pizza I’m going to get at a restaurant.
-
I don’t always go home, so boxing leftovers is not always an option.
It’s almost like idiotic blanket statements like “be a man, eat the crust” are fucking moronic.
Be an adult and treat your body with respect. Listem do your stomach and your brain, not what some weirdos online think is “the right thing to do”.
Plus, if I leave the crust, it signals the restaurant that the portion is too big.
-
I really appreciate the menu of options available
Proper bread is a very very basic acquired taste. It’s something you should’ve acquired in your teens latest. If you don’t like crust, it’s because you mother was helicopter parenting and cutting off crust from your sandwiches.
I swear that the best burger in town, the best sandwich in town, the best pizza in town and the best breakfast bread are all because of the crust.
Not even attempting to eat it is a lack of experience. Or a lack of good bakeries or burger, pizzaand sandwich stores.
I’m telling you that you’re missing out here. It’s not a fucking choice. You don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve had a proper crust. Cutting it off is like, yeah sure there are bad crust and all, but you’re only eating the less important part of the meal to begin with. How can you even judge the food without the crust?
deleted by creator
I think they’ve got a point. You like bread like a good sourdough or baguette? Or you like American sandwich bread full of sugar. It is a world of difference and they’ve got a point. Lack of experience is nicer than saying you have bad taste. Maybe you’ve just had bad pizza? Maybe you’re fucking 16? Hard to tell on the Internet

people throw away the crust? is this an American thing?
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
I tried that once. Didn’t even taste much better. And now I’m 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
My dude, you just gave me a great food idea. I just need to learn how to do a stuffed crust pizza. I am going to change the filling and test it, maybe Sunday if the wife is amenable.
Being a grown ass man means you dont have to
But my dog expects the crust. I’d never let him down
Lucky, my dog is gluten intolerant. It’s not fun cleaning out his fur.
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
Ah yes, I’m a grown-ass adult and I take orders from a meme.
The US political system in a nutshell 😂😅🥲😭
Solution: 🌬 💨 😶🌫️ 😵💫 🥴 😬 🤫 😅 🥱 😴
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
Is this about my husband? 😉
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
Possibly. Is your husband an ass man?
deleted by creator
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.
Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.
You are mistaken, I am a grown ass-man.
Proctologist?
