About Pizza crust

Pizza crust is the baked or bakeable dough layer forming the base and edge of a pizza. The name does not specify its recipe, grain, thickness, leavening, or degree of baking, and commercial products can vary in shape and composition. It refers to the crust itself, not necessarily a topped pizza.

It is used as the foundation for pizza toppings and may be encountered fresh, frozen, pre-baked, or as part of a prepared product. Texture can range from soft and pliable to firm or crisp depending on recipe and cooking. The label alone does not establish a particular regional style or preparation.
