If you judge by conferences (and not university departments), then Theoretical Computer Science is the natural community. We have the theoretical computer science conferences FOCS, STOC, EATCS, but there's no all-computer-science conference. There are big math conferences (internationally, every four years; in the U.S., every January), and big physics conferences (in the U.S., in March and April), but not CS.

If you judge by conferences (and not university departments), then Theoretical Computer Science is the natural community. We have the theoretical computer science conferences FOCS, STOC, ICALP, but there's no all-computer-science conference.
