Favorite Pizza Toppings
 

Was talking to a guy who sold pizza ingredients and he mentioned some stats.

The Chicago area and to a limited extent, the Midwest, sausage is by far the #1 asked for topping on pizza. The rest of the nation the #1 ingredient is pepperoni, hands down.

I now know why I am sadly disappointed by sausage pizza elsewhere or why I can not find it outside the Midwest.

So what is your favorite pizza topping?

Mine:

Sausage (usually only ingredient)

Then
Mushrooms
Canadian bacon
Anchovies

1. Free upgrades
2. Priority boarding

...oops, this isn't the CO board...

let's try this again...

1. tuna
2. beef
3. broccoli
4. spinach

Tuna goes with corn and onion.
Beef with mushroom.
Veggies together...hold the capers.

1.Peppers and Onion
2.Onion
3.Pepperoni

not necssearily in order order:

Candian bacon and pineapple
sausage
feta, Greek olives, artichoke hearts
bar-b-qued chicken

In SF at MoMo's the Margherita pizza I ordered came in a glass rimmed with salt and two straws. It came along with the two glasses of red zin we had ordered. We pointed it out to the waiter, who struck his forehead and said loudly "Oh, sh*t!" Don't know what I would have gotten if I'd ordered pepperoni.

lili,
shopping her way to first class

Pepperoni
Sausage
Tomato slices

I don't know if this qualifies as a topping, but: fresh mozzerella

All the meats, Mushrooms, Pesto http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdining_forum/wink.gif

Roasted Pork
Brie
Chicken
Sun Dried anything
garlic

The white clam pizza @ Frank Pepe's on Wooster Street in New Haven, CT is to die for.

Usually all the meats, with bell peppers and onions, since no one really wants to make my favorite---anchovy and green olives. Apparently the anchovies make a particularly noxious and longlasting smoke when one falls off and hits the bottom of the pizza oven.

except my wife, she loves that combo. And she orders it on "her" pizza http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdining_forum/wink.gif

Ask her to reveal how she convinced "her" pizza person to make that combination for her."Carefully" is not a valid answer.

DEEP DISH is a must.

Then you add Sausage and Mushrooms to the crowd.

There is a sit down chain here that dows this pizza justice. It is called BJ's. Does BJ's exist outside of Los Angeles?

My favorite restaurant for pizza in the nation is Pizzaria Uno. When I was in DC, I ended up there 3 times in about a week. Their pizza crust is the best. They opened one in Los Angeles, but sadly, it never caught on. Are they still around?

Hot Pepperoni
Mushrooms
Different cheese
Bacon

Pizzeria Uno is around. Check http://www.pizzeriauno.com/ for locations. My favorite pizza is mine; I make my own once a week.

Favorite toppings are probably roasted red peppers and turkey pepperoni.

how about sauerkraut and sausage famous at the cameo, and Chet and Matts in Sandusky, Ohio home of Cedar Point

My other fav is italian sausage, onions, and black olives makes my mouth sweat and I need a draft beer.

Got to have:
Italian sausage
Pepperoni
Fresh Italian Mushrooms
Artichoke Hearts
50/50 mix of Mozzarella and Pecorino Romano
MMMMMMM good! Got to go, I have decided to make one for tonight. http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdi...orum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdi...orum/smile.gif
PS If the wife is not around I add a few anchovies http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdining_forum/wink.gif

At the place by my house, I love the "sweet" pizza they do with pineapple, LOTS of fresh garlic, and red onions along with the usual white cheese.

YUM!

this is in my notes to try and it looks like I'll be in New Haven in a couple months.

Egg and Sundried Tomato are two of my favourites

-Sausage + green peppers + onion
-Sausage
-Chicken + green peppers + onion
-Margherita

Salami
Sliced steak
Bérnaise sauce

All can be found on Swedish pizza. :)

Italian sausage (salsiccia), mushrooms and onion & garlic ^

Shrimps, aubergines, onion & garlic :)

Plain Margerita

Me, too, but only if the sausage is cooked from fresh sausages - IMO, that's one of the problems with sausage pizza outside Chicago - the sausage is typically minced dry sausages and not as juicy. Also, Chicago's sausage has fennel, which is typically missing from sausage toppings elsewhere.

Smoked salmon + gorgonzola + anchovies.

Hawaiian Style- pineapple and ham
Onions
Pepperoni

YUMMMMMMMMM

Lately, my favorite has been super thin (cracker) crust w/ no sauce, cheese, and tons of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and basil.

Also like spinach, mushroom, and red onion.

Some friends and I made our own pizza one night, carte blanche to add anything we want!

These are our ingredients after voting.

1) stir fried chicken with a hint of teriyaki sauce. ^ ^ ^
2) very little pepperoni, hopefully a non salted type.
3) honey ham
4) mushrooms
5) pineapples (I hated this)
6) green peppers
7) *very* little cheese

All on a thin crust. Best pizza I ever had. :)

Guess I like thin crust pizza. Dominos(!!!!) had a promotion recently with a special type of crust, that pizza rocked! Unos is way too much for me, and I'm near the original Unos, in chi-town.

Spicy Capicolli, Chorizo sausage, onions and a very spicy tomato sauce.

Give me a great Chicago pizza place with a sausage, mushrooms, onion, and green pepper pizza, and I'm just fine.

Of course, I do prefer to do it at home. That's because I live in Houston now ... man, talk about your places with a dearth of great pizza. We've got a couple decent spots, but nothing that's blow-away good like Chicago or New Haven.

Super thin crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and some fresh basil. So simple, but so good.

Cashews are a great addition to pizzas, at least if you like cashews. :)

Very good, but I think that the white clam at Modern Apizza, also in New Haven, might be better.

tomatoes, mushrooms (fresh only), and garlic

stinky but yummy

Vegetables go in a salad...meat goes on a pizza.

My favorites..

A. Pepperoni, pepperoni and more pepperoni.
B. Buffalo chicken
C. Cheeseburger

Sausage
Mushroom
Anchovies
Fresh Chopped Garlic

OK, I admit it! This combo grosses out most people I know. But a few people I know really like it!

This combo was suggested to me by a close friend years ago, now deceased (not from the pizza). He called it the "Premisler Special," and I continue to call it that in his memory.

This pizza has a strong flavor and is very pungent. So, don't ever order it on a thin-crust. This combo of ingredients is strictly for deep-dish or stuffed pizza. Ginos East in Chicago does it best!

- Sausage and onions
- green peppers if they've been sauteed a little bit first (most places don't do this, I'll eat the raw ones but I won't order them on my own)
- salami (more often found in the thin individual pizzas in European cities)
- pepperoni instead of sausage on really cheap pizza like the pizza hut room service pizza or (heaven forbid) Domino's.

I love chorizo, but I'm not sure I'd like it on a pizza. I hate ground beef on a pizza, as well as any seafood or olive. It's been years since I've had Canadian bacon or roasted garlic on a pizza, but I'd probably like them as well.

Italian Sausage
Pepperoni
Canadian Bacon
Onions
Freshly Roasted Garlic
Drizzle of Roasted Garlic Olive Oil

Any and all meats, and the more cheese the better. Yeah, it bugs my cardiologist, but ya gotta die from something!
