Have pondered slurping down pizza toppings and discarding the crusts...

  I had an acquaintance about a decade ago who did this on the grounds that they were “gluten sensitive”. It was weird.

    People eating “low carb” also do this. It’s recommended in the Atkins book IIRC.

    My cousin who has Coeliac disease used to do this every so often. We also made pizza with a non-wheat base for her. Can't really fault her for this weirdness, she has it rough enough.

      My sister who has celiac wouldn’t dare, way too much potential for contamination from the crust.

        Definitely. My cousin isn't always the strictest with her diet, even if it ain't good for her.

  I'd be interested in seeing a study on different health outcomes for crust-eaters and crust-avoiders in their 30s and 40s. Do crust-avoiders (or hambuger-bun avoiders) suffer less from obesity or type 2 diabetes due to getting that much less intake of carbs?

    Pizza meats are incredibly high in fat, the cheese is very high in fat and sugar, and the sauce is high in sugar. It's possible the bread is the least calorie dense part of the pizza per unit of satiety.

      Eating fat is great for satiety. If you keep carbs below a certain threshold and eat only (good) fat and protein, it’s pretty much impossible to get obese.
