I’m not too picky with pizzas, and will generally eat anything as long as there are no anchovies or olives around. Given a choice, though, I’ll go for **sausage, pineapple,** and/or **barbecue chicken,** depending on the phase of the moon.

(Also, for some oddball reason, I’m no longer very fond of **pepperoni** on pizzas. Seems overdone to me, somehow…)

I second that notion 100%, although I will occasionally go for the meat lover’s pizza, being carnivorous as I am. I love any meat on a pizza, but in order: pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, and salami.

This is the end-all, be-all of pizzas…A **Crab Meat Pizza** from Sorrento’s in Baltimore. You have to be careful though, sometimes they try to put pieces of crab cakes on it instead of lump crab meat…

It varies a bit with the pizza joint, but generally chicken, feta, pineapple and hot peppers.
