None of the pizzas in this thread sound bad.

The sweet-spicy-savory of pineapple, jalapeno & cured pork (pepperoni, ham, Canadian bacon, etc) is also pretty appealing. I also love anchovies so those are in the running, though it’s not too easy to find someone to share it with. American bacon can be kind of smoky which I find doesn’t pair well with standard red & mozzarella pizza.

Mostly agreement here, I also don’t approve of multiple meats on pizza and never chicken or ground beef, too bland to stand up to the other flavors. I also think a combo (Italian beef & sausage sandwich, mentioned elsewhere upthread) is a bit much and I said as much a few weeks ago in a sandwich thread. The full local classic of sausage, mushroom, onion & green pepper is pushing it; it’s a bit busy unless coming from the right kitchen.

You’ve recommended Italian beef and giardiniera pizza before but I still haven’t tried it. I seldom get pizza for myself, mostly relying on the stuff we order in at work. Even if I was at a place known for it, it would sure be hard to pass up good ol’ Italian sausage.

If you ever find yourself at 84th and Pulaski, Vito & Nick’s has perhaps the best example of the style. I was very much skeptical at first, but now a standard order for us includes one “special” and one beef & giard pizza (or half-and-half on one pizza.) That’s the only place I regularly order it – other versions I’ve had have been so-so. And for an all-sausage pizza, nothing beats Villa Nova in Stickney for me.

I as well mostly prefer a high ratio of veggies to meat on a pizza but if its a kitchen sink combination multiple meats are fine. Chicken can be good on a white pizza, but on a marinara one, I agree no way.

If ever find my self in Chicago I’ll definitely have to try the Italian beef.

Yeah! This is what I’d do too!

Ok maybe black olives instead. Depends on whether or not I can stomach italian sausage that third day. If not, olives for me.
