Ah, pizza. The most perfect of foods. I’d kill for a slice right now.
What toppings do you like on your pizza? I usually stick with plain cheese (with a ton of added parmesan, of course!), but sometimes if I’m particularly hungry, I will go for pepperoni, sausage, or chicken.

I am known to have bizarre food preferences and one of these is that I hate pizza. Well all leavened bread actually (excepting brioche because eggs) and really dislike tomato sauce. So if I’m coerced into ordering pizza it is going to have the thinnest crust possible (like cracker thin) and alfredo sauce preferably with feta, bacon, and pineapple. I also hate chocolate and caramel. Come at me!
I like getting a pizza with bbq sauce, instead of tomato sauce, with chicken and pineapple–and cheese, of course! I also like getting veggie pizzas with olives, mushrooms, and green peppers. So good! Bacon on pizza is good too…
I love Hawaiian pizza, but don’t get it often. I also enjoy chicken bacon artichoke :)
I’m pretty basic as far as pizzas go. It’s just cheese, cheese, and MOAR CHEESE!
Or pepperoni, if I’m feeling particularly carnivorous.
I’m curious if you have an opinion about the Papa John’s political stance taken last week and the activist movement to all eat at our local pizzeria’s on Friday to protest against Papa John not wanting to provide their employees with health benefits? That aside, my absolute fave pizza is goat cheese, artichoke and pesto…that is when it’s not pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce, or anchovies and olives and, well, I just LOVE pizza!
I think the Papa John’s guy is a sore loser and an idiot. He can give away two million free pizzas but he can’t afford 14 cents per pizza to give his employees health insurance? While he lives in an enormous mansion with a freaking drawbridge? No more of his pizza for me. I actually hadn’t heard about the local pizzeria protest for Friday, but we wound up getting pizza from our favorite local place tonight. Small pizza places are almost always better than the chains anyway; they’re just usually a bit more expensive.
There’s a locally-owned Italian-and-pizza place that has the BEST margherita pizza. The BEST.
Way better than Papa John’s.
Pepperoni, green olives and banana peppers.
I like strong flavors.
MmmMMmmm banana peppers. So good.
You can keep the green olives though. :-p
My “Sheena is having a weird pizza mood” pizza: pepperoni, pineapple, black olives, and mushrooms.
Otherwise, pepperoni-pineapple is my go-to combination. But, really, I’ll take any pizza nobody else wants. I can pick off the jalapenos and anchovies.
Oh don’t do this to me.
Salami or ham, at least two different cheeses, egg or potatoes, pineapple, tomato sauce, mushrooms and after the oven – rocket salad. Mmmmm.
Feta, black olives, and grilled chicken. And whatever Sara B is having, because our drem pizza place is the same restaurant.
This with some garlic and basil. Maybe mushrooms and green olives, too. Mmmm I might have to make Mediterranean Pizza tonight.
Pineapple or GTFO.
Oh! I forgot because I haven’t been able to get it since moving out of the city, but meatball pizza is amazing.
Also, I know I used the Obama Single Ladies gif last week, but this version is relevant to today’s poll and the internet can go home now.
OMG holy shit that is all kinds of awesome.
On topic, I always have pepperoni on my pizza, or if I can’t get that, regular cheese. And maybe if I’m feeling a little adventurous, I *might* go for something like barbecue.
That gif is the most beautiful and mesmerizing thing I have ever seen.
I think I could watch this all evening. :)
If it’s just me eating a pizza, then it’s mushrooms and green peppers. If it’s me an my husband, then it’s eggplant (if available), cheese, or Greek (spinach, FETA, black olives, onions).
Funnily enough, we’re having a pizza party on Friday, so we will be having the latter two at our party. I might see if I can talk him into a mushroom pizza for me. Heh.
I had this convo last night actually :) The consensus was ‘it depends;’ some places are better for mega-toppings than others. My chain-store preference is usually ‘mega supreme,’ but for the smaller joints I may go for stylized ones (like buffalo chicken or spinach and feta) or just pepperoni & sausage. There are very few places that I would get just cheese, because then the crust, sauce, and cheese have to be good enough to not feel like it’s missing something. I try to go as lean on crust as possible, but some places have better thin crust than others, so I go as thin as the place supports :)
In a perfect world, though, it’ll always have some kick; jalapenos, crushed red pepper…
