What do you put on your pizza?

[Draconator]

I have to keep my wife in mind. Her tastebuds were forever altered by radiation treatments to her mouth for cancer. Anything that we considered mild is way too spicy for her and she can't eat it. Pepperoni falls in the too spicy category. If my wife and I are ordering a pizza it's cheese, mushrooms, spinach, and green bell peppers. If the pizza is just for me, meat lovers with Banana peppers.

We were at my wife's sisters place for pizza last night and Jesus man, they brought out Mexican and Vegetarian pizzas.

 

I just couldn't do it.........i just couldn't.

I like a Sicilian style 

 

Dough fermented and proofed ...  Sauce over cheese finished with pecorino Romano 

 

You can throw toppings like pepperoni or something on top of that but it's so good just by itself

I’m generally a pepperoni guy, but I will add different toppings based upon which joint I’m at. They each have their own go-to stuff for me. One place is pepperoni and very thinly sliced Roma tomatoes. Another has the perfectly blended fennel sausage with the spice level just right. Another place has an owner from Grand Island and they have thinly sliced red onions that have a beautiful sweetness to them when cooked. Toppings vary, like all pepperoni is not the same. The big flat ones and the little cup and char ones may as well be two different things. 

 

There are very few things I will not eat on a pizza. My son used to piss me off (intentionally, I believe) by getting everything available on a pizza. He’d get a Hawaiian pizza and add BBQ chicken, jalapeños and anything else they had to load it up with, all at once. That was some disgusting stuff!

Pie #1 go to- Pepperoni, Sweet Banana Pepper Rings, Red Pepper Flakes ... Sometimes add on ground Ital Sausage.

 

Pie #2 - White Pizza with Black Olives and Basil Leaves

 

Pie #3 - Just for me, my wife considers this a sin ... Ham and Pineapple

 

A little drizzle of Hot Honey goes nicely on any Pizza.

[Mike in Horseheads]

Sausage, mushrooms and black olives

[Kelly to Allen]

Pineapple, ham and sausage. Stuffed crust. Parmesan and extra salt 

[Mark Vader]

My go to pizza is Pepperoni and Sausage with extra cheese and extra sauce. Sometimes I will add mushrooms to that.

 

Also, getting a pizza with linguica is very nice too.

[davefan66]

If I’m getting take out?  Pepperoni.

If it’s an option, I get sweet sauce.

 

Making my own? Italian sausage and caramelized onions for me. Pepperoni and black olives for the wife.

Sauce, heavy enough that it almost becomes a fork and knife endeavor.

Cheese, applied liberally. With a trench shovel.

Pepperoni, in amounts that most folks would consider obsessive and frightening.

Maybe the very occasional bit of ham, thin-sliced tomater or light scattering of banana peppers.

Anything else is a foul manifestation of evils borne of the bowels of hell.

This thread is better than a commercial.

I used to work years ago in downtown Toronto, and we'd always stop into this Sicilian Pizzaria at lunch.

They had some fairly obscure authentic pizzas on their menu and we decided to try every one throughout the months.......some were good, most were really bad.

The place was a high rated, top of the line pizza joint.

 

It made me enjoy my standard pepperoni, mushrooms, ham and green olive pizza even more.

 Chinese hot and spicy shrimp (no rice) on a pepperoni pizza was always a good hangover brunch.

[johndhall1]

Sausage, onions , banana peppers and anchovies.

[bills_fan]

Pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers

[DrW]

Pepperoni, extra pepperoni, peppers, onions, anchovies, olives

[Behindenemylines]

I’m a carnivore through and through, but a nice thin crust with sweet sauce basil and vegan cheese is excellent. Don’t know why but like it-alot

 

but sausage peppers and shrooms is a goto.

Alright........what do you put on your pizza?

 

For me, it's always pepperoni, mushrooms, ham and green olives.......anything other than that is sacrilege and i'll arm wrestle any of you filthy animals that tries to say anything related to vegetables.

I propose a friendly amendment to your thread. I think we need to know people’s go-to toppings on a “standard” pizza. That is, on a Regular crust, red sauce, shredded mozzarella pizza. 
 

That is different than what people like on an unusual or alternative or speciality pie. This is like a secondary category. 
 

I am seeing a lot of stuff in this thread like “honey,” “pineapple,” “vegan,” “sun dried tomatoes,” “stuffed crust,” “bbq chicken,” etc. That strikes me as more of the second category above, and is a whole other discussion.

I'd like to motion that the outer and inner crust also be taken into consideration?

 

 

And what happens when you go "turnover mode"... Order a calzone/Stromboli?

Jalapeño peppers and green olives. 😋
