About r/Pizza
In its own words:
The home of pizza on reddit. An educational community devoted to the art of pizza making.
Community guide
r/Pizza (#569, about 1.9 million) is an educational pizza-making community—dough, ovens and feedback—rather than a general food or restaurant-review dump.
What belongs
Homemade and serious pizza process posts. Recent samples are gallery/image heavy (about 44 posts/day). Common flairs in our sample include NORMAL OVEN, Looking for Feedback, OUTDOOR OVEN, INDOOR PIZZA OVEN, TAKEAWAY and RECIPE—use the flair that matches what you made or need.
Versus Cooking and Baking
r/Cooking and r/Baking cover broader cookery. Pizza here is the craft niche: crust, heat and toppings with peer feedback. Takeaway photos can appear, but the description frames education and making.
Practical pointers
We lack a collected rules list—check the sidebar for self-promo and low-effort photo rules. Include process details when asking for feedback.
