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?

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.

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
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.

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.

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?

people throw away the crust? is this an American thing?
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.

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.

Being a grown ass man means you dont have to
Born and raised in us never understood it I eat the crust unless the it has the consistency of charcoal
The crust is(most of the tine) the best part of the pizza. I sometimes only eat the crust
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.

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
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'm a grown ass man. I'll eat or don't eat what i damn well please.
Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.
A real adult knows not to eat empty carbs.
If you're already eating pizza then you're not really worried about carb intake.
What is portion control anyway?
True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.

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.

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.......................

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.
Young you would've absolutely loved bread
"We're now live at Mr Plohmann's who's voluntarily eaten nothing but pizza crust for four years."
"I never said 'voluntarily'!"
"You still eating that?"
