Thin Or Thick Crust Pizza

There's a big debate going on between us circle of friends. Its about the pizza crust. Which is better, Shakey's thin crust or Pizza Hut's Pan pizza? Or in general, what kind of crust do you prefer for a pizza? In my opinion, and as to many people that I know as well. We prefer Shakey's thin crust pizza, especially "Manager's Choice" and "Pepperoni" than the pan pizza of "Pizza Hut". For me, pan pizza taste like an ordinary bread topped with sardines in tomato sauce. While for the thin crust, its like eating a crispy bread with oozing mozarella cheese and tasty toppings. Yummy.

I think I enjoy thin crust pizzas better. I like papa ginos pizza. mmm goood. [minx267]
Mmmm,,,cool choice. [mchavez11]


I don't like thin crust pizza i prefer it regular. Thick crust pizza at pizza hut isn't my fav but some pizza places really do do it right. My favorite would have to be my mom's pizza lol... you know im not kissing up to her because she won't be reading this that is for sure =P When it is thick crust i really like dipping it in marinara sauce.. yumm [nadooa247]


Has to be thin crust all the way! I used to like thick crust, but it's only for the cheese pizza to be honest. Anything else need the thin crust ... for a better taste! :) You are making me hungry! [cooler1968]
You are deifinetly cooler. Excellent choice. [mchavez11]


i like the thin one as i think it goes soft on my teeth. have a nice day. [riyasam]


I prefer thick crust pizza. [kellys3ps]
Oh okay. Thanks for sharing. Must be a pizza hut fan. [mchavez11]


I'm not fond of thin crust, so I always go for thicker crust. In my experience, thick crust just seems to hold better and it's not as messy. Plus, I really don't like for my pizza to come with a crunch. It's been years since I've tried thin crust, unless it was a cheap pizza you just throw in the oven. Even then I try to grab the thick crust. [Reesers]
Well okay. We do have our own preferences. Thanks for sharing though. Have a great day. [mchavez11]


Well a lot of it would depend on how hungrty I was , if I wasn't very hungry then I would go for a thin and a thick if i was very hungry [Anne18]
Mmmmm..very neutral aye. Like the Swiss. Thanks for sharing though. Have fun. [mchavez11]


homemade=thick, storebought=thin. theres nothing more disgusting than a soggy thin crusted pizza made at home, thick crust neutralizes all this. crust on storebought pizza sorta diverts the great taste of pizza so i like thin crust. [doggsaredead]
Very well. Proper observation. Thanks for giving us info. Have a great time. [mchavez11]


I like thin crust pizza better unless the pan pizza is the one with fillings in the crust. I always assume that thick pizzas are more oily and i get tired of chewing on the tasteless crust. With Thin crust pizzas is just like eating crackers and there is no oil oozing out of the crust. [silverglint]
Sterling choice you got here..nice. [mchavez11]


Hello mchavez11 I am not particularly fond of pizza, but if I am going to eat it, I prefer thick crust. Even better is thick crust filled with cheese. [Transdisc]

I prefer thin crust. I actually like New York style best. Soft and dripping with cheese and oil. Extra cheese and greasy as they can get it. [itsmefaith]

Well, I doubt if u have a Beggar's out where ur at, but in my opinion, Beggar's deep dish is the best pizza going for the money. Of course there's better pizza out here in Chicago, but for the price Beggar's is hands down the best! Pizza Hut is ok, as well as Domino's, but nothing on my boy's! I like thin crust if it's store bought, it's better tasting than store bought deep dish and thick crust, and it's done faster without burning. Deep Dish doesn't bake right in the oven at home for some reason.sad Taripre$ [taripres]

I think I prefer the pan pizza better. Although pizza huts pan pizza isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Thin crust is pretty good too. I like pizza all around so I guess it really doesn't matter what kind of crust it is on. [ravinskye]

Personally I am not a big bread person at all thus I prefer thinner crust pizzas. No deep dish at all for me. Too much bread and crust and not enough of the good stuff. [mullthisova]

If I want to really taste the toppings good I like the think crust. As a family we started getting the pan pizza because it was more filling so we got more for the money and didn't end our meal still feeling a bit hungry. It just went farther to have the pan pizza. I love the pan taco pizza, but in general I don't like Pizza Hut pizza at all anymore. Their sauce changed again and I don't like the flavor. [capirani]

I like thick crust. I also prefer stuffed crust when it comes to Pizza Hut. But i enjoy most woodfire Pizza. It may cost more but it tastes so nice. Thick pizza allows you eat more. To me, i like eating alot and thin pizza isnt enough. I could probably eat 2 boxes of thin pizza as opposed to 1 and a half boxes of thick pizza. I am not overweight though, if thats what your thinking. People say im not big enough but i have a high metabilism so who cares. Eating more is better =] [itrungs]

I love the deep pan pizza. It's simply delicious. I love pineapple, pepperoni, ham, and lots of cheese. Happy myLotting Snowqueen [snowqueen2008]

mmm I have not seen or eaten a shakey's pizza since I was a little girl living in Wisconsin. I do remember that I loved eating there, but was it the pizza or the old fashioned cartoons and popcorn that thrilled me so much? I like pizza hut pan pizza if I take it home let it chill and then reheat it in the oven - that reheating it makes it so nice and crispy - like a thomas' english muffin. [Modestah]

As long as it's filled w/ cheese im good :p [arcanis25]

unlike you i like thick crust pizza.and its because topping is a thing which i also present in many other dishes in many other forms like chicken,meat,olivees,tomatoes etc.so i think the most important part of pizza is its base or crust.which makes it different from other dishes and gave it a different name.and not to mention about mozareela cheese it does not matter whether the crust is thick or thin cheese is supposed to be placed over topping so its amount is not supposed to vary with the crusr density. [junaidp]

well if those are my only two choices, it definately has to be shakey's. pizza hut has let me down so many times that i wouldn't eat there if i owned the place. [kuzzon1960]

at times, I like to eat thin crust pizza, and another time I would like to have a thick pizza. For me, it doesn't really matter, if its thin or thick as long as its pizza... :) [Nhey16]

I much prefer thick crust pizzas, I think an essential part of pizza is the crust, and I think my pizzas to have thick and chewy crusts, and I especially like those with stuffings in it, like cheese or even sausage! [timou87]

I don't normally eat pizza and have no idea what "Shaky's" is. Of course I know Pizza Hut, however, I have no idea about the types of pizza they offer. I do prefer their thin crust pizza's, though. Their thick crusts fill me up so quickly that I can't even enjoy the food! lol [Zezlol]

I prefer hand tossed crust, not too thick not too thin. I also like a saucy pizza loaded with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, onions, peppers, olives and cheese... or the "Works" pizza from Pappa Johns. [Chocobear]

They're both good but I think I prefer thick crust, but I think it's really all in the toppings instead of the crust. [jambi462]

Personally, I like thin crust better. I don't dislike the thicker crust or pan pizza, but just like the taste of the pizza with the thinner crust. Maybe I feel like I am getting more taste from the toppings, instead of the crust. Well, now you have done it! You made me HUNGRY for pizza!!!! [quinnkl]

I like thick crust but from Pizza Inn, Dont care for pizza hut pizza sauce. Now there are times that I will crave Domino's thin crust pepperoni pizza but it's about once a month. [minerc]

i like tossed.. its not deep dish but its not thin which i think is too crispy and crunchy.. [moonlitmagikchild]

I like a thicker crust but not as thick as say deep dish pizza. I find deep dish pizzas tend to be very doughy and I don't like that. I do really really like the stuffed crust pizzas and the "cheese bread sticks" you can order from different places dipped in marinara sauce. [saundyl]

Yes .... the "Manager's Choice" Thin Crust Pizza is so yummy! I vote thin crust for life! wub [anjielyn]

In your discussion i would prefer thin crust as it tastes yummy.I would prefer thin crust pizza as its easy to bite.The taste of cheese and toppings are also good.I would love a pizza with a thin wheat base as it has lots of nutrition.happyhappy [vicky30]

I prefer thick crust pizza. [kellys3ps]

I prefer thin crust because I can taste everything on the pizza in an equal manner...I started to notice this after the first couple of times ating thin crust. Thick crust pizza taste too bready for me...I like all my stuff to meld together in unison. So poetic for pizza. [taface412]

My favorite pizza crust is Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza, with the cheese in the crust. I don't have it often, but I could eat it more than I do. I would rather have a thicker, pan crust, but as a diabetic, I am supposed to eat thin crust. I don't think they have Shakey's pizza in my area anymore, but I think they did at one time. [idowrite72]
