What it is

Pizza crusts are the base of a pizza, typically made from flour, water, yeast, and salt. The dough is mixed, kneaded, and then shaped, often before being partially or fully baked. Variations exist in thickness, texture, and ingredients, such as the addition of oil, sugar, or other flours.

Why it's used

Pizza crusts are the foundation for pizzas, providing a chewy or crispy base for toppings. They are a primary component in frozen pizzas, pizza kits, and pre-made pizza bases. Manufacturers use them as a vehicle for cheese, sauce, and other ingredients.

Health notes

Pizza crusts are primarily a source of carbohydrates and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The nutritional content varies based on ingredients like whole grains, added sugars, or fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common pizza crust ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of pizza crusts.

Allergen info

Pizza crusts are typically made with wheat flour, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain gluten, a protein found in wheat.
