This crust is delicious, and it really gives no hint that it is a cousin of all the puffy Pillsbury bread products you can get out of a cardboard tube. The bottom was perfectly browned in spots and crisp, but the rest of the crust had a chewiness that I would compare to a fried Chinese dumpling.

In a pizza, the crust is the bottom layer, usually made of bread or something similar, on which you put any cheese, sauce, and "toppings".

There are two main types of pizza crust: yeasted and flatbread. However, within those two categories, there are various styles of pizza crust, each with its own style of cooking, slicing, and toppings.

The Pillsbury Company is a US-based company that was one of the world's largest cake manufacturers and producers of grain and other foodstuffs until it was bought by General Mills in 2001. General Mills brands consist of Annie's, Betty Crocker, Nature Valley, Yoplait, Haagen-Dazs, and Blue Buffalo.

The company manufactures a wide variety of consumer food products under the Pillsbury brand, including frozen biscuits and rolls, breakfast foods, cookie dough, cake mixes, and snack foods.

However, all pizzas, no matter how they're prepared, are typically made using refined wheat flour. This type of flour is low in fiber and, therefore, less filling than whole-grain flours. Eating refined grain products - such as ready-made meals like pizza - has been linked to weight gain.

Pizza pros include the fact that it offers calcium from cheese and disease-fighting lycopene from tomatoes. And pizza crust made with whole-wheat flour (including whole white wheat flour) is healthier than regular white crust, as it offers whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains.
