Stale pizza crust? I think that its those hillbilly pizzerias Corny goes to that color his taste buds. Frozen dough and electric conveyor belt ovens give you horrible crust like you find at dominos. Handmade pizza dough using a sourdough starter and cooked in a real oven makes for an amazing crust. "Hey, I went to my first wrestling show... it was in a backyard with broken neons. All Pro wrestling sucks." Not all wrestling or pizza crusts are the same...
