Interesting. Put some doubanjiang on it, little bit of "tianjin preserved vegetable", you might have something approaching edible

Ch...chicken Kiev, on a pizza
But you have to like, boil the Kiev in the sauce, which as we've established must be made with a base of doubanjiang and not tomato, and then spoon it into the crust

start with Tianjin-preserved vegetable, boil the Kiev, then top with NYC water. fold in half, tear crust-flaps, and fly

Why is there so much ontological confusion about crust? Crust = the entire doughy portion, not just the puffy end bits.

^i agree with that, but i also think there should be a separate name for the part at the end (which my family also calls "crust")

Put a bad sauce on a good crust and you've ruined a good crust. Put a good sauce on a bad crust and you've improved a bad crust. For me, this describes the essence of their relationship.

I got some pizzas last week at an ILX-disapproved chain. I was the first customer of the day and the oven apparently wasn't fully preheated -- that underdone crust was fucking disgusting.

cheese and crust and sauce = pizza
cheese and crust without sauce = cheesy breadsauce and cheese without crust = cheesy dipping saucecrust and sauce without cheese = vegan pizza, square one
cheese without sauce and crust = cheesesauce without cheese and crust = saucecrust without cheese and sauce = crust

so basically cheese, because as long as you have the cheese you know you're going to be fine

the worst pizza i've had is the stuff with bad crust. usually "mall pizza" with thin, soggy crust that the sauce has seeped into. (was this the mall pizza experience everywhere?)

i would eat good base/crust on its own anytime.i often eat mozzarella on its own.i would not eat any pizza sauce that i've had on it's own-- and no joke, i literally drink 6 oz juice glasses of hot salsa with some roasted hatch chiles added two or three times a week, so its not like i don't like sauces.
what is a good widely available pre-made pizza sauce? maybe that's my problem.
