Cornicione.  Learn it.  Remember it.

 

What is a Pizza Cornicione?

 

Simply put, cornicione means ‘crust’. However, in the States, as well as in Britain, the pizza crust is often a term used to refer to the whole base.

 

Cornicione means a very specific part of this base, namely the outer rim or lip. The Italian origins of the name hint that it is a component of Italian pizzas. This is correct. They are commonly found on Neapolitan style pizzas. 

 

This is for all of you people, namely @Beerball, who contend that "the crust is the same throughout the pizza.  'TAIN'T!!!

And with THAT .... the defense rests.

In english we call it “the handle”. It’s only meant to be eaten if you are having pizza on a desert island and no other source of food is available since you’ve run out of coconuts. Even Gilligan knows that!

There was a brutal debate earlier in the Shout Box about pizza crust.

 

Harsh words were said.  One person was told he was dumb.  I've never seen so many insults in all my years here.

 

But ... I digress ....

 

Pizza.  Most of us love it.  All of us have our favorites.  Some idiots even like pineapple on theirs .... not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

But I'm here to talk about THE CRUST.  Specifically, the OUTER CRUST.

 

I love the outer crust.  Sure the main crust, to me, is probably most important.  But only a well-made pizza has a decent outer crust.

 

I'm interested to know what you think about this topic.

 

And please .... be careful with your words.  Once you hit ENTER, you can't take them back.

 

And remember ... when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie .... that's amore, my friends.

The savages in my house hate the outer crust.  This fact and beer are two of the main reasons I am fat.  The outer crust is essential unless youre a communist and hate America.

The Outer Crust is the only part of the pizza that counts.

Is this more accurate?

Full disclosure, I throw out the crust unless it’s absolutely exceptional.

Pretty much.

Although if there are some nasty mushrooms and olives disfiguring a perfectly good pie, they typically end up flying through the air so she can shag flies.

While I’m certain that this thread is a pizza aficionados paradise, the buttery outer crust that you’ll find on a Pizza Hut pan pizza makes it worth it as a once in a while change of pace.
