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 recent posts 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 rules list—check the sidebar for self-promo and low-effort photo rules. Include process details when asking for feedback.

The community was created on Aug 26, 2008, which makes it 18 years old. Since Nov 2, 2026, it has gained 1,634 subscribers (+0.08%). Among the 5 communities on our pizza list it is the largest. It sits just behind r/TheBoys (#568) and ahead of r/ThatsInsane (#570) in our ranking.
