Ima go for different toppings. 1. Pepperoni. Classic for a reason, and I don’t often order it, so it’s a treat when I do. 2. Olives and pickled onions. The sweet/savory/sour/salty/oily notes all get treatment here. 3. Spinach, feta, and walnuts. This has been our go-to order at the best local pizzeria for a couple decades now, and it’s so so good. ---

Mine probably fall something like this: 1: Salami 2: Prosciutto & onions 3: Sausage, calabrian peppers, and salami. ---

Eggplant Eggplant and black olives Eggplant, black olives and spicy italian sausage I remember the first time I had eggplant on pizza - someone else had ordered too much, and wanted to share. I had only had eggplant once before, and my parents didn’t know how to cook it. They still don’t like it. I rarely get eggplant on pizza, because I usually share a pizza with my husband, and a lot of places here won’t do different topics. ☹ They don’t even do a quattro stagioni (four season) pizza right. They mix all the toppings, even though it should have four different quadrants. Now I want pizza. ---

1. Mushrooms 2. Mushrooms, fresh garlic 3. Mushrooms, fresh garlic, Italian sausage but REAL Italian sausage and not that mealy, nasty shit that’s round and gross, but sausage freed from its casing. ---

1. Pepperoni. The old standby. I mean, I’d prefer more than one topping, but if for some reason I’m limited to one that’s what I’ll take. 2. Pepperoni and mushrooms. 3. Italian sausage, tomatoes, and fresh basil. This has become my go to when I make pizza at home. ---

Pepperoni (cooked until it’s crisp, even a bit charred). If I can have only one topping this one has enough flavor and texture to stand up on its own. Bacon and mushroom. Bacon, carmelized onions and fresh basil (hopefully crisped a bit in the oven). ---

My three canonical pizza toppings are anchovies, garlic and olives. If I had to pick only one or two of those, it would depend on my mood, but there is no possible non-delicious solution. ---
