Takeaway is different. There, I'd cut it into wedges (if not pre-cut), eat with fingers, and start with the nice, middle bits. When I get to the crust, I may discard it entirely if it's particularly dry, or eat it if it's a stuffed crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that as I do with all things. Eat your least favourite bits first then finish up with your favourite bits. The last thing on my plate eating a roast dinner will always be a pile of roasties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're leaving the middle to the very end it'll be lukewarm at best. Why would you want your last experience of that pizza to be some dried up scraggy edge piece with hardly any cheese or sauce when your last mouthful could be lovely cheesy tomatoee middle bit. Frankly I find eating the crust last to be plain weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seat68 Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 This thread is undoing a lot of respect I had for people. Literally who the **** hell eats the crust on a pizza first. Who. What do you bloody hold on to. **** sake. Seriously. Not even pissed off at this, I am **** angry. 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well you don't have to eat the crust at all. If it's a nice one then I probably will, but I'd prioritise having the best part of a meal when it's at optimum temperature and before I'd started feeling too full to get maximum enjoyment out of it. On the cutlery point, if it's particularly thin and floppy ("ooh-err" etc.) then I'll happily have at a pizza with a knife and fork. Like a really thin, stone-baked one where the base hasn't the structural integrity to hold the toppings, then it's cutlery time. I've seen the alleged "New York/Street"-style of holding that type of pizza like a taco, all squished up but I don't care for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 29, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2020 It all ends up the same colour in the end. EDIT : Unless you wash it all down with red wine. Then it goes a kind of toy soldier green. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she goes crust first, it is with cutlery. So the occasions where a pizza is already sliced, then she will eat it "normally"*. *-no offense intended to the outliers, you do you. I mean ultimately, if you are eating nice pizza then you're automatically on to a winner no matter the method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
