pizza crust

Chewy pie bottom

Pizza crust is the bread base of a pizza—the dough that forms the foundation and outer edge.

Crust styles vary widely: thin and crispy, thick and chewy, stuffed with cheese, or charred from a wood-fired oven.

The crust often refers specifically to the outer rim left uneaten: My kids never finish their crusts.
