Anything meat for me, thanks. Sausage, bacon, ham, pepperoni, steak, hamburger…if it was living and breathing I’ll gladly take it on my pizza. ---

Mushrooms and extra cheese. If I get more, it’s all towards the veggies. Maybe some pepperoni. ---

Anchovies? :dubious: You also forgot chicken… Me: Pepperoni & onion (+ jalapenos if I’m in the mood) or Pesto, potato & garlic. ---

Excellent crust, deep dish Chicago-style. Fresh provolone, mozzerella and parmesean cheeses (possibly pepper jack.) Dried tomato-based sauce with basil and oregano. Mounds of shredded sausage, diced peppers, onions, mushrooms, cultivated olives. Alternately: a good crust and just really good HOT white cheese and some pepperoni and extra sauce will do in a pinch. ---

Either something simple, like just a little tomato and cheese Or something _absurdly_ generous with layer upon layer or toppings - mostly vegetables - so… shredded onions, peppers, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, repeated over a few times etc, then some cheese - the effect not so much being a pizza, more like a vegetable dish that just happens to have cheese on the top and bread at the bottom. ---

Pepperoni, mushrooms, lots of cheese, light on the sauce. Alternately, replace the pepperoni with spinach. ---

Pepperoni, sausage & mushrooms, easy on the sauce & cheese, crispy crust. Or a white pizza, ricotta & mozarella. …and the closer to NYC, the better…Rays makes the BEST Pizza (IMHO) ---

My SO is allergic to something in all restaurant pizza sauces so we either go without the tomato sauce unless we buy frozen. Her favorite is ham, pineapple, and extra cheese. I plan to make a fajita/taco pizza this weekend with a couple of Boboli crusts, ground turkey, fajita seasoning mix, and a pack of shredded taco-style cheese. Diced tomato and shredded lettuce goes on after baking. We also like BBQ pizza and white pizza with clams, crab, and shrimp. The former from a local BBQ restaurant and the latter from a local pizzaria. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-you-like-on-your-pizza/331745.md?page=2)
