Pizza

just as an aside - it surprises me that people dont see crust as meaning outer rim - do you not see a crust of bread as meaning that crusty bit around the edges of the slice??
same thing.
Interesting how people in different places have variations on language.2 -

When I'm making homemade pizza, the whole dough forms the crust. Therefore I read it that way, and not as just the outer edge.1 -
I don't understand how trolls are allowed to troll but I have to "say something nice" or I get deleted.3

While technically I would call the whole cooked dough "the crust", I think it's fairly common to say something like "I'm gonna give the dog my crust" to be understood to mean "I'm going to eat this slice up to where the cheese and sauce ends and give the edge to the dog" rather than "I'm going to scrape the sauce and cheese into my mouth and give the rest of the slice to the dog". My nephew asks me to cut the crust off his pizza all the time, he means the edge. Although starting with a person who is already removing the cheese from a slice, it was open to interpretation regardless
Words are fun!
OP, there is practically no way to know how many calories are in each part without making it yourself. But if you are taking a regular slice of pizza, pulling off the cheese, and then eating just the remaining sauce and dough up to the crust, honestly just eat something else. One slice of pizza is probably not low cal, but it's not so bad you need to go those extremes. At that point I would log a piece of white bread, a half a serving of tomato sauce, and a tablespoon of olive oil I guess.5 -

This. If I talk about whether a particular restaurant pizza has a good crust, I similarly mean the bread part, all of it. It never occurred to me that OP would mean only the edge (or that anyone would consider not eating that worth factoring into the logging), but now it makes more sense!3 -
Someone on another thread suggested a pizza of cauliflower crust topped with vegetables and no cheese. I found it laughable, but maybe that's right up the OP's alley 3

Another option - https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/italian-style-beef-and-pepperoni-soup
I would just eat less pizza (thin crust) and light on the cheese.

So no crust or cheese. Why bother?4
-
Well OP would bother because he/she really dislikes cheese - says so in OP.
and you can order or make pizza without cheese if you want to.
what was meant by 'crust' we are not sure.0 -

Oh yeah.
Hrm?
Tomato soup with two pieces of bread it is.0 -
I have an idea. OP could use a slice of prosciutto as a base, add sauce and vegetables, then count the calories. It might be better to cook that in a toaster oven as exposing the meat to the intense heat of a baking plate would carbonize it. It might be better to just eat it cold as a wrap. That works out to about 50 calories of vegetables and 50 calories of meat. The pizza sauce adds sugar. If you use only tomato sauce and a few spices that could be 5 or 10 calories less than pizza sauce.0

That actually doesn't sound bad, but it also doesn't sound like pizza either.1 -

Saltines and ketchup! Boom!
Curses! I've no remaining calories today to try this.
It’s not that good.
It would probably be better if you got more creative about it:
Whoever wrote that needs to go into marketing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣2 -

Lots of gooey cheese, like in the photo above! And a fluffy, crisp-bottomed crust fried on the pan in so much olive oil. I'm not giving the edges away, either. That's the best part.0 -

I still can't fathom why they want to eat a traditional pizza if they hate cheese & crust?
Might as well just make one of those Thomas English Muffin like pizzas & put on toppings they like or use a tortilla.
The cheese is my favorite part.0 -
There are some recipes for keto "pizza casseroles" out there. Essentially pizza ingredients without the crust.0
