@ivannabc salty, spicy, and sweet! checks all the boxes. i never liked pineapple and ham aka the traditional pineapple pizza. sweet on sweet and ham in general is usually a particularly lackluster pizza topping. pepperoni is the true pineapple pizza partner.
Why would you lump the most majestic pizza topping in with the boring “veggies”? Mushrooms are the single best topping. They pair best with sausage and onion.
There are times when I enjoy a good Hawaiian; pineapple is great on pizza.
Broccoli is a less common ingredient, but it works really well on pizza with chicken, tomatoes, and a white sauce.
Pepperoni, extra cheese, sausage, chicken, and meat are my favorite toppings to choose from. Every now and then I’ll sprinkle some garlic powder or that Papa John’s garlic sauce.
I personally love Marco’s pizzas because they have actual meatballs:
Italian sausage. My pizza of choice is deep dish, bbq sauce, Italian sausage, Hungarian sweet or banana peppers, and black olives. Yep, I’m that chick.
Imo’s combo. Or, anything with Provel.
I like also like (in no order/combo) green olives (little salt bombs), bacon, salsizza or sausage, mushroom, Penzey’s Frozen Pizza herb sprinkle.
I don’t really love pizza. But if I have to eat it, sausage, double ‘shrooms, double onions on a thicker, softer crust. Easy on the sauce. Maybe a slop of parmesan butter around the crusty edges.
Thin & crispy crust, sauce with just a little bite and a touch of sweetness, a medley of cheeses that must include Provel. Toppings based on your whim of the day. If you’re really lucky, Mama makes it rectangular and slices it in squares so you have a choice of middle or edge. Served on a sidewalk table, weather permitting. Wash it down with a couple of Schlafly’s or Boulevard’s. I miss days on the Hill.
Cornmeal/wheat crust, brushed with olive oil, layer of baby spinach/kale greens, layer of mixed Italian cheeses, red onion, red pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, sliced dry-farmed tomatoes, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a second dusting of cheese, and a fresh home-made pilsner.
Really wish people would quit referring to mushrooms as vegetables. They are a fungus & are the most disgusting thing ever to be put on a pizza (though I had to make shrimp & sauerkraut pizza for a customer of mine every week and that was pretty awful!)
When I worked at that pizza joint, everyone who wrote up orders while I was cooking would write “SB” in place of mushrooms which stood for slimy bastards!!
@tohar1 if they are slimy, then you’re clearly not using fresh. Ewww. Glad I’ve never eaten wherever it is that you worked that made you cook with slimy mushrooms and serve it to customers. Good for you keeping that tidbit on the DL.
@mike808@tohar1 Yes, out the jar or can can be slimy, but fresh sliced crimini or shitake are delicious. And the mushroom part we eat is, technically, a “fruiting body”, so it’s as much a vegetable as an olive or a tomato, which, er, aren’t vegetables…
@mike808@tohar1 a lot of places use canned mushrooms and you can definitely tell just by sight. growing up my parents go-to pizza was pepperoni, mushroom and olive and the place used canned and i have to admit i still sometimes buy canned when we make pizza at home if i’m feeling nostalgic. that said, generally i much prefer fresh, and regularly enjoy them in general. (sautéed in butter with thyme and penzey’s fox point seasoning until really brown and then transferred to a grilled cheese with arugula is a favorite, or with apples and cheddar. mushrooms and cheese are amazing, is what i’m saying, i guess.)
@tohar1 I can’t even. If you don’t enjoy mushrooms just because they are a fungus you have some sort of mental block about “fungus” it’s just food. And it’s delicious. You don’t have to like them but they are certainly not disgusting. Id never want to eat at your restaurant from your description though
@unksol Nonetheless, they are not a VEGETABLE. That’s my point of contention.
“Hey! Let’s have a veggie pizza!” & then someone wants to throw shrooms on. Just “NO!’
i chose cheese, as it is the critical topping for me to enjoy pizza. sausage or pineapple would be second, probably. sauce is optional, i love white pizza.
i like pizza well enough, and can appreciate a good slice in any style, but much like bacon if it ceased to exist tomorrow i can’t say i’d be really broken up about it. it’s never been high on my list of cravings.
Pepperoni, Italian sausage, onions, black olives, pepper slices, lots of high quality mozzy cheese, parmy cheese, feta cheese, fresh sliced mushrooms, Good tomato sauce with seasonings & garlic, thin crust fresh dough cooked very fast & hot on a stone. Fresh sliced tomatoes and basil leaves on top after cooking.
Never ever ever put pineapple near a pizza!! That turns it into a dessert fruit salad or something.
I also prefer no chicken on pizzas either…
I rarely get to eat an ideal pizza because my wife hates olives and anchovies.
Terina’s Detroit Style Pizza back in Las Vegas (not sure if they’re still around), ingredients in stacking order.
Base crust and sauce
a few anchovies
minced or finely chopped garlic, basil, oregano
grated parmesan
Pepperoni slices
bacon pieces
Layer of mozzarella cheese slices
thin skim of more pizza sauce
sliced black olives
crumbled sweet italian sausage (has to be par-cooked first since it is not on top)
slices/chunks of good pork and beef meatballs
grated garlic
grated asiago cheese
final layer of shredded mozzarella
The more compatible meats the better.
Pineapple makes it not a pizza. Not going to argue with people who like to make odd pineapple pies that resemble pizzas but they are not pizzas.
Canadian bacon and mushrooms!
Artichoke hearts, spinach, kalameta olives, feta, ricotta, mozzarella and pine nuts. Yes, really.
@Pony Yum really!
It’s more about the crust, and the sauce, and the cheese. Without those, you’ve just got a few veggies and/or scraps of meat.
Pepperoni, mushrooms, salami. Yum.
Pineapple. I said it. Come at me bro!
@melonscoop you should be ashamed of yourself…for trying to antagonize strangers on the internet. I expect better from you
@melonscoop
You heathens that waste pineapple by putting it on pizza depress me…
@Ignorant
I love pepperoni and pineapple.
@ivannabc That’s what I came here to say! It’s the best combination. (Although I’m happy with almost any pizza. I’m not difficult to eat with.)
@ivannabc salty, spicy, and sweet! checks all the boxes. i never liked pineapple and ham aka the traditional pineapple pizza. sweet on sweet and ham in general is usually a particularly lackluster pizza topping. pepperoni is the true pineapple pizza partner.
@ivannabc Best combo there is! Pineapple and ham is terrible.

I’m fine with anchovies. I hate black olives.

Green Pepper, Onion, Mushroom.
No one has said bacon yet? It’s the finest of the flavors.
I like the tiny little tables on top of my pizza. So cute
@heartny Ooh! And chairs on half!
Chicken, buffalo sauce, carmelized onions, poblano or jalapeño peppers, with a ranch drizzle.
Imo’s combo. Or, anything with Provel.
I like also like (in no order/combo) green olives (little salt bombs), bacon, salsizza or sausage, mushroom, Penzey’s Frozen Pizza herb sprinkle.
Yes please! Also known as the super supreme delux.
@shahnm that is the most disgusting grey blob of a pizza I have ever seen. Looks like extremely thick wet cardbord
You heathens…
Sliced tomato mozzarella and basil on a thin hand tossed crust in a wood fired oven…
@rustyh3 hand-carried out to the veranda of the Tuscan villa on a warm late afternoon overlooking the sun-drenched vinyards.
/giphy Pretentious much?

forgot the garlic tomato sauce down there under the baby greens …
All the above but hold the anchovies!
Black olives on a cheese pizza !
Pepperoni is a must, but the cheese will make or break it. Lots of ooey gooey chewy cheese.
Around Salt Lake, The Pie is hard to beat.

Meatballs are the best pizza topping. Shame on you for not listing them as a choice.
Mashed potato, bacon and banana peppers. If you have never experienced this combination, I’d say it’s high time you did.
If it’s a good pizza spot then moz, tomato, garlic and basil. If it’s just a basic pizza spot then bacon, onion and pineapple.
Also Chicago pizza.
You know what? Pizza in general.

@Asviloka you listed six ingredients and none of them were the right answer. That is amazing in it’s own way.
