How is everyone feeling about the all-crust pizza that Jadakiss allegedly orders?
Jadakiss is a man ahead of the times, and his go-to pizza order proves it.
For those who aren't up-to-date with the latest pizza news, it was recently announced that Villa Italian Kitchen (the chain known for that gender reveal lasagna) will begin serving "Just the Crusts," aka a single slice pizza box filled with just crust, because I guess it's some people's favorite part of the pie.
Sounds innovative, right? Well, not entirely.
According to Cuts & Slices, a pizza place in Brooklyn, rapper Jadakiss has been requesting a crust-only pizza for quite some time now. A year, actually! There's even photographic proof of the rapper's special request, though it's much different in execution.
"Not only is Kiss a customer he is a friend of mine," Randy Mclaren, founder and owner of Cuts & Slices, told Mashable in an email. "He had been asking me to do a twist on pizza for months before I finally tried it out for him."
Instead of a small box filled with crust, Cuts & Slices makes an entire pizza pie and simply cuts the middle out for Jadakiss. What's left is a large circle of crust with a thin border of sauce and cheese. It's not even sliced, so it's really more of a giant crust bagel, if you will. A large savory doughnut. A carb summoning circle.
It also comes with three containers of sauce, possibly for dipping or drenching the large bread SpaghettiO.
Upon hearing of Villa Italian Kitchen's plan to get extra crusty, Mclaren shared the news along with his Jadakiss anecdote.
Mclaren then shared a screenshot of an Instagram post from July 2018, when he claims he originally gave followers a glimpse at Jadakiss' unique order, and says it inspired others to give the all-crust pie a try.
"Kiss was my first order like that. After my initial IG post about a year ago the request began to get more frequent," Mclaren said.
While many people applauded Cut & Slice's unconventional order accommodations, they couldn't help but question the crust-only pie. For instance, do we think Jadakiss has ever heard of breadsticks?

"There is nothing like crust off a pizza," Mclaren says. "Yes people say just have breadsticks, yes people say just have garlic knots. Nothing comes close to authentic crust from an actual pizza. I could’ve just cooked the dough and sent a box of cooked pizza dough but that wouldn’t have been the same."
There you have it, folks. And for anyone wondering what happened to the inner pizza circle, Mclaren explained that they sent the middle of the pie in a different box.
"You have crust lovers and you have crust less lovers," he said. Very true, sir. Very true.
