Pizza crust is the base of a pizza, providing structure and texture. It is typically made from a mixture of flour, water, yeast, and salt, which is kneaded and allowed to rise. The crust can vary in thickness, ranging from thin and crispy to thick and chewy, depending on the style of pizza, such as Neapolitan or Chicago deep-dish. The crust can be baked in various ways, including traditional ovens, wood-fired ovens, or even on a grill. Some variations include stuffed crust, where cheese is added to the edges, and gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. The choice of crust significantly impacts the overall flavor and experience of the pizza.
