When applying the toppings to the pizza, leave ¾ inch edges to form a decent-sized crust when baked. There's no need to take out a measuring tool for accuracy — anywhere under an inch to the minimum of ½ an inch is perfect for making a traditional pizza crust. That said, it's your pizza, and you can make it how you like! So, if the crust is your favorite part of a pizza slice, make it a little larger if you'd like.
