Pizza connoisseurs, is this pizza crust considered burnt? First one was worse, this is the replacement they delivered. This is from a small local pizza chain.

I’d say that’s perfection. I’d be happy with worse too though.

Burnt, but not worth getting upset about. It looks great

Borderline bunt, definitely uneven. Top is way too light in comparison.
HoagieSapien
if it tastes good it’s charred.

I’d eat the shit outa that pizza!!!
bearhugcollective
Right on the line. I’d eat it, but if I’d made it, I’d hesitate to serve it.

I would definitely eat it, but that is just a little too done for a professional establishment imo. burnt 👎 but hey, at least they are cooking the bottom. there’s a place by my house constantly serves raw bottomed pies. such a shame.

That looks like a legit good ass pizza. I wouldn’t be complaining.

I’d crush that. Well done is delicious
TehBanzors
Well done on the verge of burnt, I’d eat it no complaints.

Looks wonderful to me. I love a super crispy crust but that’s just me.

This is not burnt. All the pizza in my neck of the woods looks like this. Anything less isn’t cooked hot enough.

To me this looks burnt based on how the top looks. Now the taste is what matters. Is it bitter? Does it taste perfect with the top? Is it soft? Is it hard?

Only thing that matters. Does it taste good?! Looks good to me.

I’ll tell you what I told my ex wife. “That’s a nice bottom.”
Deep_Outcome6607
That’s their style. If you don’t like it maybe go somewhere else
Onespokeovertheline
If you sent that back to me, I’d ban you from my pizzeria. If I had a pizzeria, that is. It looks great.
everyinchofliverpool
It is burnt because the top doesnt really match the doneness of the bottom. If the top was darker, i’d say it could be considered “well done”. Without that, its just burnt on bottom.

UEx pizza cook here. Could just be that they are busy af need to sweep the oven. Try wiping the bottom a little bit, top looks perfect.
Edit. That or their oven is actually just way too hot… Idk, everyone does it different.

The portion near the crust is what I’d consider charred. The middle is evenly dark and what I’d consider very over cooked borderline burnt, not completely burnt though but I also wouldn’t call it “charred”

To me, that style of pizza wouldn’t taste right with that level of doneness. Some places and ovens can pull that off and be delicious; judging from the pic, that does not appear to be one of those places.
Furthermore, if you complained the first time they shouldve worked with you to understand how you preferred it. If I were selling, no way I’d let that out–especially twice.
karen_in_nh_2012
To me, that looks burnt.
I almost always ask for “light bake” so I can stick it in my own oven and make it exactly how I like it – which is NOT almost entirely black on the bottom, as this is. But clearly LOTS of people like it this dark on the bottom!

For the record, I do enjoy it this way. My kiddo, on the other hand, does not. Thanks for all the replies.

Unpopular opinion but that’s burnt. Too much char. Charred bubbles are ok but this isn’t that. The bottom deck of the oven is set too high imo
timstantonx
Burnt.

I would tell them that I am only paying for the top half.
similarityhedgehog
That’s from a pizza oven with bad heat balance. Floor cooking much faster than the air.
The cornice and bottom should be balanced/equally dark but that is not the case here, either their floor should be colder or their air should be hotter.
bigboxes1
Yeah, that’s uneven temps between the top and the bottom. Way too dried out on the bottom. Look at the cracking. And the first one was worse, huh? If you like it, then good. If not, stop going there.
TheWarwock
I made a bunch of pizzas for a house full of family tonight, and I wouldn’t have served that one. I also wouldn’t pay for it. I will accept a substantial amount of char, but that is just burnt.
Former pizza boy hat on: Their oven is too hot, and they probably didn’t check the bottom before they served it. I worked the ovens for years and I wouldn’t have sent that one out the door.
