Never heard of plate pizza - can you describe it? Is it regular pizza without the crust? Knife and fork required, only optional with a regular pie.

I'm trying to imagine this, myself.

No crust, just all the toppings, whatever they put on their regular pizza with a crust you can order just the toppings, baked. Yes, eat with a fork. I like toppings better than crust. You can also order all the spaghetti you want and also have all the pizza you want from the bar plus the salad and all the soft drinks you want. We don't go there often but it is a favorite place for the kids and me to go. We will be celebrating Amber's birthday. She will be 40 this month. This is great for those that eat gluten free.

Didn't want to say never heard of them, so went googling. Well, have still never heard of them?!? Is Plate Pizza the name of the PLACE where you get them or the style of pizza? First time I ever went to Disney World, found a little local pizza place that was a bit different. Very thin crust. As you mentioned, no real "crust" around the edge. It wasn't cut in slices... cut vertically and horizontally... kind checker board... maybe 3" squares. You used your fingers/hands to eat. Guess you could use knife/fork... guess we were just heathens?!?

google didn't even know about it

I want to try these. It is completely crust-less, sauce goes right down on the plate, right?

A good crust is what makes a pizza IMO so, no, I would not tend to order something like that.

Well, I love bread too but I like the toppings even better I guess. Yes, just all the topping baked on a plate in the oven. That way you don't feel so stuffed with all the crust. Of course we hit the salad bar first for the great simple salad. My favorite dressing there is poppy seed. Oh the place is not called plate pizza, it is Pizza Shack.

Never heard of it but I like crust too much to do with out it. I love the very very thin crisp almost cracker like crust from the stone ovens. A new place called Vero opened here about a year ago and it has become one of our favorite places for lunch when my neighbor and I go out. They also have other wonderful food but I always get the individual pizza.

I agree with watchme. I think those who desire or need to avoid wheat realize that standard pizza is off their lists.

There's a lot of gluten free crusts out there for those avoiding wheat to have a pizza but this would be a potential option for some celiacs. Much depends on the kitchen and cross contamination.

I enjoy a good crust on a pizza but a good crust must have adequate toppings for me to enjoy it. And there's not a lot of places that put adequate toppings on there for me.

To the original question, I've never heard of plate pizza. Interesting concept. Is this a "deconstructed" thing with everything separate or do you order your toppings, sauce and cheese and they mix it up for you?

Seems like another term for it might be 'no crust' pizza...?

You just tell them Cynic, what kind of pizza you want and it comes with out the crust, looks like it has been baked some on the plate. You know they have different kinds of pizza, Mexican, barbecue whatever, pineapple and ham, deluxe. I get which ever one has a lot of vegetables on it and of course the sauce, some meat, and cheese.

I have Low Carb diet friends who do a version of this. They first bake or "fry" a layer of cheese fairly crispy. It is baked on parchment paper and left flat to cool. (If it is folded over a wooden spoon, it makes a carb-less taco shell. They do quite a few flat ones in advance and when they want a "pizza", they put one on a baking sheet and add a light bit of sauce, the toppings, and more cheese. They then bake it up.

The cheese undercrust has all the browned taste of an pizza oven baked pizza. (I like the browned cheese on my pizza the best!)
