Favorite pizza toppings, need answer fast!!!

I’ve had a nice lazy Sunday, but I think I’m going to put a nice end to my day with some home made pizza.

There’s a nearby pizza shop that sells awesome, fresh dough that I’ll go pick up, and then a stop to the store for the rest of the ingredients.

What should I put on my pizza (or two!)?

I’m usually a fan of basil, mushroom, onion, pepperoni, eggplant sometimes . . . garlic goes underneath the cheese (cheddar/mozzarella blend).

What would you make if you were going to have pizza in a few hours?

2

Nothing but cheese, sauce and basil.

3

Cheese, sauce, sausage and mushroom.

Nothing green. Nothing sweet. Nothing crunchy. Nothing BBQed. That means no green peppers or pineapple oven onions. (Maybe the sauce had some onions, but they’ve been absorbed into the sauce.)

4

Anchovies.
Fresh tomatoes - both green and red.
Basil and garlic, of course.
I like the combination of stretchy, creamy mozarella and tart, salty crumbled feta cheeses.

A favorite topping of mine. Those pickled sliced yellow banna pepper rings. I really like those on a simple pizza that has just a few ingredients like a meat, and another topping or two like mushrooms and onions and the cheese of course. The pepper rings add a nice tang to the whole thing. Try em a on small section of the pizza if you feel like experimenting. But don’t overdo it, a small amount of em goes a long way.

Oh, and one pizza chain had a pizza I used to really like. Pretty much the whole surface was covered with sliced tomatoes, with your “normal” stuff on top of that.

6

Double anchovies.

7

Red onion & black olives are my go to toppings, occasionally augmented with green (sometimes red) bell pepper and/or mushrooms…

8

lots of mozzarela and pepperoni.

9

You really can’t go wrong with bacon. I also like jalapenos and/or hot sauce. I would skip the cheddar though- that does not belong on pizza.

10

Sahsitch. Italian sahsitch.

11

Prosciutto, salami (finocchiona) and sometimes anchovies are really good.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had was a tuna & onion one in Rome, but I haven’t reproduced that myself yet.

12

Pizza is being eaten as we speak!

Went with sauteed mushrooms, pepperoni, fresh basil, garlic, and hot pepper from the garden. I also mixed in some left-over alfredo sauce (super-garlicy) with the pasta sauce. Yum!

13

Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Italian Sausage, Prosciutto, Mozzarella, Swiss, Romano, Spicy Sauce

14

Just made a great pizza using whole wheat fresh dough, pesto (some I had in freezer mixed with the fresh batch I just made) thinly sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. 15 minutes at 400’…so good!

Poll here. Leading answers were,

Mozzarella, 91.67%
Onions, 51.92%
Pepperoni, 42.95%
Sausage, 39.10%
Fresh garlic, 38.46%
White mushrooms, 33.97%
Fresh tomato, 31.41%
Sweet bell peppers, 28.85%

16

This poll is an example of too many cooks spoil the recipe. You can’t make food that way.

17

I disagree. The 8 ingredients listed would make for a mighty fine pie.

18

Yeah, no problem with a garbage pizza here.

ETA: Except it needs bacon. Because everything needs more bacon. And in Chicago we give you a heart-stopping amount of cheese normally, so asking for more means they give you the same amount but charge you more.

19

If making something that appeals to others is desired, it doesn’t hurt to see what they like, does it? And it seems to me there’s no inherent conflict among those leading answers; any combination thereof would work for people who didn’t specifically dislike the choices.

Not that I was necessarily suggesting that Eonwe follow the poll results; she’s not cooking for a crowd. I offer it as an item of possible interest; the attached thread has several more idiosyncratic but possibly appealing combinations as well.

My personal favorite pie is sauce, red onion, black olives, portabella mushrooms and mozerella.
