>I never understood breadsticks as a side for pizza.
You know? It's like, the classic side at Pizza Hut was to get their breadsticks, which did have good seasoning on them, but it's more of the same.
It's along the lines of having a chicken sandwich, but with a side of chicken nuggets instead of fries.
Pizza basically is breadsticks already, so what you're adding as a side is just the same thing without the toppings
Agreed op. You are a wise poster.

maybe the idea is that the uneaten crusts get turned into "breadsticks"
then what if you just didnt order a pizza without any crust then you just get breadsticks instead?

My local chain has cheesy garlic bread. Made from the same dough, but super garlicy with lots of cheese.
Traditionally Pizza was eaten as part of a spread of multiple types of food. Bread sticks were supplied so that people could dip them into sauces to sample them before eating. Seeing as how they cost nxt to nothing I assume chain restaurants keep them around so they can have "...with breadsticks" on the menus and now it's just a tradition of its own.
tl;dr you use them to try the sauces

I agree. When I go out for pizza with my friends I always just get cheese bread with a side of sauce. Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy until they're paying $20 and I'm paying $5.

Pizza Hut's breadsticks are better than their pizza

I feel you, but it's more like $20 for 2.

I assume they originally became a thing out of necessity when the baker had leftover pizza dough from forming pies and needed a way to use it up.

Red baron solved this problem already guys.
Though they just authorized a 25% price increase like the jew rats they are. It's only 50 cents but jesus fuck how about a 5% increase max you fucking rats?

Yeah I like breadsticks (or cheesesticks) but I don't them with pizza because it's just a fucking double dose of starch. I think i twas mostly a convenience thing like others are saying and amerigoys fell for it so hard they started to think it was an actual "classic paring"

>It's along the lines of having a chicken sandwich, but with a side of chicken nuggets instead of fries.
No, it's more like having a chicken sandwich with an extra bun on the side.
When I'm eating different types of pizza I like to eat breadsticks between each to cleanse my pallet

Holy fuck, a large pan pepperoni pizza from pizza butt is like 11 bucks, 1520 calories for 1/2. At 20 bucks a pizza for 2 people how much are your fat fuck friends eating?

Eat normal portions you fat fucks. Two large pieces of pepperoni pizza are 700+ calories.

Ordering cheesesticks with pizza is like ordering a side of steak tarttare with your cheeseburger.
