Italy is the shit

i had a pizza about 6 months ago that i had to stop eating and throw away. was the first pizza this has ever happened with. i mean, even if it's "bad" it's generally still f**k pizza. but this, this was inedible.

and it was the dough that ruined it. i have never had a more salty thing in my life. it was like they accidentally dumped in a cup of salt into this one pizza.

so yes, in this case, toppings could not overcome it. but it was because it was so bad. ive never had any pizza anywhere near this awful. i do think that normally if the dough is "okay" then toppings can overcome it. but certainly toppings are the star of the pizza. the dough is like the bass player man, not the lead guitarist. only if he f**k up his one stupid little job does anyone notice him

why even eat anything other than just bread if dough is so important and the best part?

you guys sound like white moms who discovered panera for the first time.

says the guy lecturing me on how good white bread is.

toppings and cheese > dough 99% of the time

cheese and meat are pretty good on their own i don't know what you're talking about

You're all wrong. Pizza, like sandwiches, is all about balance and proportion. No one aspect should stand out on it's own - eating shit toppings on great crust is just as bad as eating shit crust with great toppings. In fact, what makes pizza and sandwiches great is when every ingredient mixes perfectly together to create a unique flavour - i.e. the sum is greater than the parts. That is after all the entire point of putting all these things together.

Because you've all demonstrated unforgiveable ignorance on this topic (lol Dominos?), I will be compiling a guide for you soon, so that you won't embarrass yourselves in this manner again.

crust is important exploited, but it's not the star.

you order a saurkraut and corned beef pizza. this assumes crust, sauce, and cheese. you can specify elsewise but those are just the base and what you're ordering is the saurkraut and corned beef. you don't call and say "hey i want a specialty thin crust pizza with durum wheat and rye blends, cooked at exactly 946 degrees F" and ignore the toppings. the toppings are the star
