The cheese in the crust is shit quality too. It’s really nasty. I’ve never understood the need for stuffed crust pizza either.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I like to think I've grown past fighting with people on lemmy but buddy we can't be friends
It doesn't have to be stuffed with cheese. It can be stuffed with almost anything. It just can't be stuffed with an entire other pizza, because then it's not stuffed crust it's a calzone.
Unless you'e only had Domino's nasty bullshit. 🤔 I mean, it's pretty much just cheesy bread when it's a good pizza.
I would do terrible things for a stromboli-crust pizza.
Let me tell you something, it will be years before they find another place to hide cheese on a pizza.
Top tier unpopular opinion
It's great when your baked out of your fucking mind. oh fuck yeah more cheese I heard you like cheese so we put cheese in your pizza so you can cheese while you pizza
I worked at a pizza shop in my early teens. My favourite was cheese all the way to the edge. With enough pepperoni the pizza would deep fry itself and the cheese on the edge would go extra crispy. And I wondered why I had issues with acne.
It's okay when it's fresh - not OMG WOW, but okay. But if it's cold leftover pizza, then it's complete ass.
If I might recommend rehearsing it using a panini press/foreman grill, it isn't for everyone but crispy cheese on top and gooey crust cheese works pretty well
I agree. Fresh it is amazing but cold it is like having a cheesestick rolled in bread.
Shit, I don't know, I dip it in left over burrito sauce from the spot down the block and I'm set.
Heard a rumor, once, that stuffed crust pizza, extra cheese pizza, etc., were attempts for the gov't to use gov't-stored cheese reserves that would go bad soon.
Which is probably why the stuffed crust cheese always tasted like ass.
Afaik it doesn't have to do with those specific cheese reserves, but it indeed was an attempt by the govt to make people eat more cheese due to the massive overproduction of cheese.
Not the best source but the first I found: https://www.chowhound.com/1724866/milk-overproduction-pizza-hut-cheese-origin/
Edit: Ok, I went to find a better explanation of the whole thing (it's actually a long story). There's a very good video by Climate Town which explains the history of dairy farming in the US, and it does mention that specific pizza case. Sorry for the video format, but it's very well documented, with a lot of sources, and it's a genuinely great explanation. YouTube link
........and you believed that?
Mmm cheese in crust Make the crust entirely out of cheese
I've had that. It's low carb!
I don't like pizza with extra cheese (though what 'extra' is depends on the place and the person), but I like stuffed-crust. If I decide I hate my body enough to eat gluten-containing food, I'm going all in on it for the misery I will suffer.
