Call me a pizza traditionalist
I'm noticing an ad blitz on TV for Pizza Hut's Stuffed Crust Pizza. Because stuffed crust pizza has a ring of cheese baked into the crust, Pizza Hut reckons I should eat the pizza backwards, or crust first.
As the title of this post suggests, I will not eat the pizza backwards, stuffed crust or not. The point of the crust is to support the rest of the slice of pizza. If you eat the crust first, you have nothing but a limp piece of pizza with sauce all over your hand. Yes, I know there are also lots of pizza places that slice pizza into squares, so that there's no crust on the internal slices. I also disagree with this method of pizza slicing. For me, the regular pie-shaped slice is the only way to go. I do not go for un-crusted slices of pizza, and by God, I will not eat my pie backwards, no matter what Pizza Hut says.

And does pizza REALLY need any more cheese on/in it? Typical American overkill.

I prefer square cut pizza, unless it's stuffed. Then Pie-cut is okay. I also would never eat my pizza backwards. This is just gimmick to cover up Pizza Huts shitty crust. The only crust gimmick I like is the Hungry Howie's flavored crust idea. It's not gooey or cheesy, but it does add some zest to an otherwise boring crust.
