Personally, I’m partial to a thin crust cheese pizza folded and dipped into either hot sauce or ranch. But I also enjoy modest amounts of meat, greens and pineapple.
The best pizza place near me does a goat’s cheese, balsamic onion, and rocket one that’s absolutely stellar. To be honest though I’m not super fussy about toppings, I like this pizzeria more because whatever you order, they use good ingredients and cook it perfectly
What the fuck is rocket?
Assuming this is a serious question and not just continuing the joke in the other replies, it’s the plant that North American varieties of English call arugula. Both names derive from the Latin eruca, they just took different paths to get to the different varieties of English
I am indifferent about rocket on my pizza!
I love rocket on my pizza!
I hate rocket on my pizza!
Olives, sundried tomatoes and italian sausage.
Olives, capers and anchovies
Served on a slab of rock salt
Yeah it sounds like you need a couple pitchers of beer to make it through that one.
That’s a benefit as well, yeah.
I like several kinds.
I’ve posted before about the cast-iron pan-pizza I make myself, and that’s the best I can do at home.
There’s a local restaurant that makes not-really neapoletan pizza (the bottom is too thick and the oven isn’t quite hot enough) but they have really figured out the flavor profile on their dough, sauce and fillings, netting excellent results.
At times I really crave and enjoy a Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza. I wouldn’t call it my favourite, but sometimes it’s exactly what I want.
They no longer exist, but there use to be a local chain of pizza restaurants that would make giant sheets of pizza in bulk, and let you pick three squares from three different (or the same) pizzas for a meal. They had a potato-rosemary pizza that I adored. I still want to eventually recreate something like it at home.
There’s a new chain that popped up recently which I really like. They make oblong pizzas with a wholegrain dough, that they then slice into strips. The meals come with a sauce to dip the pizza-strips in. The result is delicious.
When it comes to toppings, I generally want a strong umami tomato sauce, mild cheese, and some kind of spicy meat like pepperoni or equivalent.
But I’ve also tried white pizzas (pizzas with no tomato sauce), pizzas where potato or even pears were among the toppings, and they can be absolutely delicious.
Okay this’ll sound strange but hear me out. Red sauce base, kalamata olives, vegan feta, and lots of fresh mint. I’ve never been fancy enough to make my own pizza dough but when I’m assembling a pizza that’s my go-to. It’s so good.
I also have an unhealthy mint addiction btw
Cheese with both hot sauce and ranch, or black olive and pineapple. It’s great because no one ever wants to steal any of my pizza.
Caramelized onions, thinly sliced potato, fontina cheese (no tomato, mozz, etc.). I made it among other pizzas for Thanksgiving one year and it was the best by leaps and bounds.
margherita pizza, followed by trashy pizza.
trashy pizza
I’m going to assume you didn’t mean this trashy but I stand by a Totino’s Party Pizza cooked on a Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven being epically underrated trashy pizza option.
i only draw the line at microwaved pizza, I’d absolutely demolish that.
Kebabpizza
I’ve been obsessed with prosciutto, asparagus and onion lately but I made an onion, fennel and Italian sausage the other day that was really nice.
My favorite is Kalamata olives and pepperoni, but your post reminded me that fennel and sausage is easily a close second - did not expect to like that flavor combination at all (really just not a fennel fan). Everyone should try it if they get the chance!
Italian sausage has a ton of fennel in it already.
Woah really? I love learning such simple facts - thank you!
Thin crust with extra pineapple and nothing else. 😜
No, but seriously, my favorite are the thin-ish crust ones my wife makes with fresh dough, with regular sauce, mushrooms, and olives on it.
Back in the day (haven’t tried it in over a decade), pizza hut made really good deep dish pineapple pizzas. The crust was crunchy and just shy of being too greasy and I loved it. But I also love pineapple, so.
I joked about pineapple on pizza before. But honestly, I don’t really mind it. Even without ham, a little bit of pineapple tastes okay to me.
If we’re talking absolute favorite, then I’m a Chicago deep dish kinda person. White or pesto sauce, cheese, artichokes, onions, tomatoes, grilled chicken, spinach, bacon, maybe some more meat or veg. Gimme that and a fork and knife and I’ll be very happy.
Hells yeah!
Deep dish, stuffed pizza, anything thicc.
I like em all (minus pineapple). The hipster pizzas are quite fun too
I don’t really have one specific type of pizza, bounce around a bit.
When I was growing up, the norm for my family was thick crust, pepperoni, black olive. I like that, but I tend to feel that it’s nice to have a bit more going on. That plus onion or chicken or hot sausage can be nice.
I do like Hawaiian, though that does tend to have more moisture than would be my ideal.
A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I’m feeling fancy
