Whether you’re a die-hard pizza traditionalist or love experimenting with different flavours and textures, the base you choose can make or break your slice. It’s not just about what’s on top, pizza bases play a huge role in the overall gastronomic experience. At RDM Pizza, we’ve seen every preference under the sun, and we’re here to help you find the one that suits your style best.
Sourdough Base
With its slightly tangy flavour and chewy texture, sourdough is the artisanal choice for pizza enthusiasts. Made from naturally fermented dough, sourdough bases offer a more complex taste and a rustic feel. They tend to have an airy, bubbly crust and pair beautifully with fresh, simple toppings like basil, tomato, and buffalo mozzarella. It’s also easier to digest for some people, thanks to the fermentation process.
Thin Crust
Crispy, light, and packed with flavour, thin crust pizza is a go-to for people who want to let the toppings shine. This base is rolled out flat and baked until it’s slightly crunchy around the edges. It’s perfect for people who enjoy a little crunch with each bite and don’t want to feel too full after just one or two slices. It also cooks quickly, making it great for busy weeknights or spontaneous pizza cravings.
Thick Crust
Looking for something heartier? A thick crust pizza brings that satisfying chew and a slightly doughy centre. This type of crust is ideal for people who love a more filling pizza experience and want something that holds up well to generous toppings. A thick base can handle it all—extra cheese, meats, veg, and sauces—without going soggy or falling apart.
Stuffed Crust
A stuffed crust pizza takes your favourite base and adds an extra hit of gooey, cheesy goodness around the edge. Usually filled with mozzarella or a mix of cheeses, this base turns the crust into one of the best parts of the pizza. It’s indulgent, comforting, and always a crowd pleaser—especially with kids or during movie nights.
Whole Wheat/Multigrain
If you’re after a base that’s a little more wholesome without giving up on taste, whole wheat or multigrain bases are a great option. These doughs use flours that are higher in fibre and often include seeds or grains for added texture. The flavour is slightly nuttier and richer, making it a perfect match for earthy toppings like mushrooms, spinach, and roasted vegetables.
Gluten-Free
Gluten-free pizza bases have come a long way, with options that are just as tasty and satisfying as traditional ones. Whether made from rice flour, almond flour, or a specialty blend, these bases are designed to mimic the classic crust while catering to dietary needs. They’re a great choice for coeliacs or anyone looking to reduce gluten without missing out on pizza night.
