what part of the pizza is called crust?

I'm actually a bit confused, and it seems like nobody here is able to tell me what is what. Is it just the "outer part" which is the crust, or all of the pizza on the picture? And if only the outer part is called crust, what's the whole thing called then?

I can see your confusion. The photo you show could be called a pizza crust.

However the bits of pizza slices that don't have topping on them are called "crusts".

If someone asks you "do you eat the crust?" they are almost surely referring to the outer parts without topping (I suppose you could scrape the topping off the pizza and eat that, but that would be odd).
