What kind of toppings do you like on your pizza? I have a couple favorites. 1. Black olives, mushroom, jalapeno (or hot peppers). 2. Black olives, mushroom, garlic. 3. Black olives, mushroom, salami (or any of sausage, ground beef, pepperoni). I just love black olives. Not so much for green olives though. I usually only order 3 toppings, but if I could add a topping for free, I would definitely go for the extra cheese. Thin crust, non-puffy thin edge. Then eat with maybe some Tabasco sauce or black peppers sprinkled over gently. ---

Mushroom, black olive, pepperoni, sausage, anchovy, bacon. The thing is that I prefer my pizza with only one topping at a time, so I don’t want any of these things in combination. ---

I never understood anchovy (fish?) on pizza. Thinking of trying it, but I am probably just going to go for one of my favorites again when I get to order a pizza. ---

As far as I know, I’m the only guy on the planet who, if told he can have any two toppings, will _unhesitatingly_ declare for a pineapple-and-anchovy pizza. ---

Pepperoni and anchovies. If anchovies aren’t available, then I’ll get some kind of supreme pizza or meat-lover’s pizza. ---

I like pretty much all of the usual toppings except green pepper and anchovies. The combination of the toppings depends on what I’m feeling like when I go to order. Sometimes I like a lot of toppings and sometimes just one or two. But there will always always be pineapple on it. One I’ve been getting lately is Hawaiian Chicken BBQ. It has BBQ sauce instead of tomatoe sauce, chicken, onions, pineapple and bacon. ---

I don’t like pineapple or chicken on pizza When I order for me, I get spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, anchovies, peppers, onion and mushroom, light cheese, extra sauce. I sprinkle red pepper flakes on it and have an iced cold beer on the side ---

Meat, no fish or veggies. I will take a ham and pineapple on occasion. ---

My favorite two-item combo is pepperoni and pineapple. With pineapple and ham the pineapple overwhelms the ham. Favorite three item combo is pepperoni, pineapple, and bacon. ---

All of the above. 🙂 I like anything on pizza really, including anchovies. I’m not t huge fan of pineapple, but will eat it. Even vegetarian pizza is great. ---

1. Pepperoni and pineapple 2. Pepperoni, tomatoes, onions and pickled peppers 3. Pepperoni All of the above with a healthy shaking of red pepper flakes (preferably Aleppo pepper). ---

It’s hard to find a really awful pizza (except that pineapple stuff - sorry, folks), but there are a few that blow my skirt up particularly far. 1 - Veggie: cracker crust, black and green olives, peppers, onions, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, garlic 2 - Basic: Italian sausage and onion 3 - Out There: Basil, spinach, garlic and pine nuts 4 - Southwestern: Southwestern spiced chicken, sliced poblano peppers ---

Mushrooms – I can’t get enough. Cover the damn pizza with mushrooms. Also, ham, bacon, spinach, caramelized onions. ---
