What's the perfect pizza? Tell us yours.

[Huskee]

I've noticed that people can be very narrow-minded on many opinion-related topics such as music and politics, it even sneaks over into food with things like chili (don't you DARE tell someone you like x and y in your chilli!) But no one seems to be that defensive and protective of pizza. Maybe some do with the crust (Chicago vs Detroit comes to mind). But not the toppings- that's what I'm speaking of here.

Is it because pizza happens to be the one item that we universally understand is open to personal preference and it remains judgement-free because as long as you enjoy pizza no one cares what you put on yours? I find it worth thinking about. If only everything else were like pizza, truly a "you do you and that's ok" thing. Think of the arguments that would be avoided in other areas of life if it were all treated like pizza.

That said, what your favorite pizza? THE ONE pizza you would make/order if tonight's pizza were to be your last.

[Huskee]

Mine would be hands-down:
double cheese,
double pepperoni,
mushroom,
green pepper.

To me it even looks like the perfect pizza, the obligatory pepperoni circles and a little green for color, it's inviting!

[Old Glory]

Thin crust NY style Extra Cheese, Pepperoni, and mushroom.

[jfmorris]

That sounds good! I sometimes just do double cheese, double pepperoni, from Marco's (take out) and its the bomb.

[Hulagn1971]

I'm with Old Glory on this one. Hold the green peppers and heartburn/green pepper burps.

[jgreen]

Pretty much just meat. Sausage, pepperoni and bacon is a good pick. Double cheese

[Sid P]

Double cheese, sausage and Canadian bacon.

[Huskee]

Gotta have the double cheese!

[Murdy]

My absolute favorite is sausage, onion, and sauerkraut, with some garlic added to the sauce and the cheese a mix of 2 part mozzarella to 1 part Swiss heaped on pretty good.

[Huskee]

Interesting, never had sauerkraut on a pizza, but I've often though since I enjoy pickled banana peppers why not try pickles...this is in that vein.

[RichardCullip]

When I fire up the KettlePizza on my Weber kettle I bake sausage and pepperoni pizzas. That’s my favorite.

[holehogg]

Not that fussy when it comes to pizza, so pretty much anything goes.
I do enjoy lots of bacon and pepperoni and nothing wrong with some feta cheese. Mushrooms and olives are good.
I do like some avo on a bacon pie too.
The wife goes the Hawaiian route a lot, but I'm not a fan of pineapple on pie, so she gets to have the whole thing for herself.

[Huskee]

Smart gal! I'm not a pineapple fan either. In fact, I rather hate it on my pizza. I absolutely love fresh pineapple otherwise.

[Panhead John]

I think the only universally (or at least a lot) criticized topping might be pineapple. I know I’ve seen a lot of comments here and other places about it. I’ve personally never tried it or had the desire to. Now, my favorite pizza is a common one. Sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon with bell pepper, mushrooms and onion, lots of cheese..thin crust.


EDIT: Well, y’all beat me to it 👆👆

[jfmorris]

I'll don't like either, but will take pineapple ahead of anchovies. That said, I'll eat stuff like sardines, but don't want it on pizza...

[synodog]

In my office pineapple on pizza is the subject of many meme wars over chat. I love good pineapple but it doesn’t belong on pizza.

[FireMan]

Is there room fer pickles? Somebody around here like pickles on their pizza. I just can’t seein myself eatin a pickle on a pizza as with pineapple.

[Jfrosty27]

Sausage
Pepperoni
Black olives.
That's my preferred but really any pizza Is good. I'd rather not have any green pepper or pineapple though.

[Huskee]

You & I can swap the olives & green peppers.

[Attjack]

I don't know, Huskee, all I see online is people losing their minds over pineapple on pizza.

My pizza is NY-style dough, 2 ingredient sauce, red pepper flakes, fresh mozzarella, and pepperoni.

[CaptainMike]

Lottsa cheese, pepperoni, sausage, shrooms, and black olives is my #1. A Margherita with all homegrown/homemade ingredients is a close second.

But I'll eat any pizza that doesn't have pineapple on it. Sheesh, you might as well put Brussels sprouts and beets on it too!

[Huskee]

A good genuine margherita pizza is my 2nd fave. The good ones are amazing and oh so fresh.....

[Panhead John]

I love Brussel sprouts on my pizza! 🙄

[MsTwiggy]

+1

[Dan Deter]

Depends on the day...

[Huskee]

Well let's play the game of "tonight is your last ever pizza, what would you make/order?"

[smokin fool]

Extra sauce
Extra cheese, both mozzarella and Italiano cheese
Extra pepperoni
Sliced green olives

In a pinch vegan with Roma tomato's

My wife would be full on Hawaiian.

[ssandy_561]

Without the green olives that what we order from one pizza place. It’s on their menu as the sloppy pizza. Extra sauce, extra cheese, extra pepperoni. It’s almost impossible to eat with your hands. If you attempt it I find standing at a higher counter hunched over the counter is the best way to consume the sloppy pizza.

[Jim White]

Cup pepperoni, onions, fresh mozzarella, spicy red sauce and maybe a touch of fresh basil. Spicy salame can sub for the pepperoni.

My completely off the wall thing I also like to add is thin slices of okra. Looks like jalapenos but roasts up really tasty and not at all slimy.

[Donw]

1. Margherita
2. Mushrooms, peppers and black olives. If I’m sharing and they want to add a meat then Canadian bacon.
