Hot peppers. Most pizza joints stock jalapeños, which are pretty wussy as far as hot peppers are concerned, but I’ll take them.
Then again, I’m a hot pepper junkie, so this is really not specific to pizza. The other day I cooked up a DiGiorno and sliced up this skinny green pepper (I said I’m a junkie, not an expert) and cooked it on there. Damn, didn’t know it would be quite that hot. Every bite with a pepper slice on it lit a campfire in my mouth. But I finished half of the pizza and polished off the other half today. God I love hot peppers. Now that I’m thinking about it, I might have to go eat some of my “Scorched Earth Salsa” I whipped up the other day.
The perfect pizza from Bari’s in Denton, TX:
very little sauce
lots of mozzarella
paper-thin slices of tomato
mushrooms as far as the eye can see
sauteed spinach
artichoke hearts
and lots and lots of garlic.
sigh
I miss Bari’s.
Papa John’s, pepperoni, extra ladel of sauce. Regular crust requires garlic butter sauce for the crusts, thin crust is dipped directly into the garlic butter sauce as it’s eaten. Tell them you ‘have a coupon that say two larges for 11.99’ and when they get there, say you can’t find it. Corporate policy, or at least Kansas City area policy, is to honor coupons even if they’re not produced. I love Papa Johns. I admit, Fenris, they got some DUUUMB people that work for them, but no worse than anywhere else. And two larges, one thin crust and one regular, pepperoni, extra sauce, and extra garlic sauce on the side for only 11.99 is easy on the pocket and GOOD on the guts when you’re stoned or recovering from a hangover.

Thin crust
Extra sauce
Pepperoni
Salami
Mushrooms
More pepperoni
I try to keep such a magnificent invention relatively simple. The thin crust and extra sauce are the secrets.
I also utilze the Tom Scheaffer Isothermal Pizza Temperature Distribution Method™:
When the pizza hits the table at a restaurant, pull apart half of the slices so they will cool faster and leave the other half intact so that they will still be warm by the time you are finishing them off. For delivery pizza; leave it intact to prevent any further heat loss.
Good god your making me hungry. I am the Pizza Fucking Master!! I usually eat it at least twice a week. However I have had NONE this week and am getting the shakes.
Hand tossed or the like. Extra Cheese with pepperoni sometimes with sausage… and Whatever cheese bread/sticks they have… double order.
My usual college hangout is this place called “B.J.'s Pizzaria and Brewery”. This place is amazing. They’ll put ANYTHING on a pizza. Hell, they’ll cook YOU in a pizza if you pay them enough (and, better yet, during happy hour, their pizza is half price!!! Woo!!!).
Anyway, my perfect recipe there…
Pepperoni
Double Green Peppers
Double BBQ chicken (a very mild BBQ sauce)
Sausage
Onions
Blackened chicken (yup, two types of chicken… I’m a poultry nut)
And, finally, I ask them to sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on the pizza when it’s almost done cooking… it perfects the taste.
There you have it, Ladies and Germans… SPOOFE’s Ultimate Pizza.
I’m a Hungry Howie’s person myself. My standard pizza is Bacon, Mushrooms, Black Olives and Three Cheese on a Garlic Crust. I love Sausage,Mushrooms, and Three Cheese on a Garlic Crust too.
When I go to Pizza Hut, I get pepperoni, onion and mushroom, or green pepper, onion, black olives and ham.
My local supermarket stocks a good brand of pizza in the chilled cabiinet — I’ll have their pepperoni or their ham and mushroom. Often I add a few extra toppings — thin cliced onion and yellow pepper, black olives etc.
When I make pizza at home, I usually do black olives, green peppers and anchovy OR pepperoni and mushroom OR mushroom, onion, green pepper and ham. I don’t have a pizza stone yet, so the crust is never quite right.
I want the pizza that used to be #8 (“Hai-Hai”) at our local pizza parlor, but took off the menu because apparently nobody else besides fella bilong missus flodnak and I ever ordered it: marinated chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, cashews, onions, jalapenoes and Chinese sweet chili sauce. Oh, it also came with pineapples and red peppers, but both those things give me stomachaches. So we ordered half with everything for fbmf, half minus the pineapples and peppers for me.
Damn it was good.
Since that’s not available, I’ll take the one with barbecued chicken, onions, and corn, with extra barbecue sauce.
I’m with Fenris. Nothing beats homemade, and it’s cheaper too. I like the crust rather thin and rather crispy, but not to extremes. High-gluten flour is the secret.
I typically use lots of mozzarella, a fair amount of pepperoni, some onion, and some bell pepper, with lots of hand-grated pecorino Romano on top (never Parmesan). Occasionally I’ll add provolone cheese, pimientos, or Italian sausage (hot, sweet, or a mixture).
chicken, ham, pepporoni, broccoli, tomatoes, and lots 'o mutha fuckin cheese.
The Papa John’s near me is pretty good, help-wise. They’ve always gotten our orders right, at least.
There’s also a Mom & Pop hole-in-the-wall place that makes great pizza and killer subs. It’s called Maria’s…go figure.
I like plain cheese pizza, or any combination of the following:
pepperoni
bacon
onions
sausage
mushrooms
I also like white pizza. With extra garlic in the sauce.
And white pizza with broccoli. I usually get that at the mall, from Sbarro’s. It’s heavenly!
Yum. Now I’m hungry.
LaRosa’s focaccia style crust with pepperoni, red onions, roma tomatoes, black olives and extra cheese…Mmmmmmmm…
LaRosa’s is a local chain, so you have to come to Cincinnati (motto: We haven’t had a riot in weeks!) to get it. And while you’re here you might as well go to the Winton and Galbraith store so you can walk next door to Graeter’s. Ice cream isn’t technically a pizza topping, but not having Graeter’s after LaRosa’s is a Sin against the City.
The Little Woman has a weakness for Pizza King’s salt and gristle pizza. It’s just like the stuff they had at the Pizza Barn when she was growing up.
bibliophage, you might want to add some Montery Jack cheese to your mozzarella and provolone. It adds a nice flavor. Or just a bit of feta. Or you might not want to.
Pizza Luce in Minneapolis. It’s a great alternative restaurant, especially when you’re downtown at 3 am and have a hankering for pizza in a relatively safe and sober environment. The problem, however, is that I live about 20 miles out of the city, which is well out of their delivery range. When I start jonesing for Luce pizza, I have to call and offer a substantial bribe to the driver to come out to the 'burbs and drop off my fix.
Or, to answer the OP more specifically:
Pepperoni, italian sausage, canadian bacon, breakfast bacon, chicken, hamburger, salami, ground turkey, prime rib, rack of lamb, baby back ribs, … uhm, or we can just summarize as ‘dead animal parts’.
But no mushrooms. They make my throat swell shut and I die. It’s happened three times this week so far.
Three favorites: BBQ Chicken (although w/o the onions most places insist on putting on there with it), bacon, or chicken sausage. A place in DC near where I work has the BEST chicken-sausage pizza (discovered because I ordered one with a Jewish person – no pork possible).
Oh, and lately I find myself with a fondness for Pizza Hut’s twisted crust pizza, just about any topping (well, meat toppings. No veggies on MY pizza!). And Domino’s Roma Herb crust pizza (or whatever it’s called) it quite tasty too from what I recall last time they offered it.
mmmmm
cottage cheese.
I know, I am weird.
Sliced meatballs, mushrooms and onions on mine, please. The meatballs are tastier than pepperoni and not as greasy.
If the counter guy looks at me like I have three heads when I ask for meatballs (and most do, dammit), I’ll take onions and mushrooms if you don’t mind.
Yer pal,
Zappo
You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten anchovy and garlic pizza.
Thin crust, chicken and pineapple. Not the chicken supreme, just chicken and pineapple.
