The Cellar Pizza
We'll assume the crust is your favorite type, and the tomato paste and mozarella are to your satisfaction. Now, what are you having on it?

(they're very crunchy, taste like chicken)
I have to be awkward from the get-go.
My favourite is garlic and sundried tomato sauce. It's an option in many of our takeaways and I always choose it where possible. In the interests of homogeny I will happily settle for a traditional tomato base.
Therefore this is not a write-in.
It's important to note that I may be the only person on earth who likes GREEN olives on a pizza. Black olives, while more popular...are horrible and I can't eat them.
Forty kinds of pepppers, though. Blech. ;)
Again, simple tastes: pepperoni, green olives, maybe sausage.
The best pizza topping is obviously.
pizza!
Oops, misvoted and skipped cheddar.
The only non-cheese I like as a topping, aside from maybe garlic, is pepperoni. For me, it's all about the cheese.
My perfect pizza, at least at the moment, is deep dish cooked in a baking stone, with a thin glaze of garlic butter under the tomato sauce, along with romano, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, and crushed red pepper. I'm also partial to using that shitty mexican 4-cheese blend shredded stuff, the asadero and monterey jack really give it a great complex flavor.
Must admit I do like a four cheese pizza.
In fact...thinking about it, I'm kind of with Ibica on this one. The other ingredients I tend to go for are all about accenting the cheese for me. Cheddar works well with mushrooms and it also works well with onions and sausage. None of those things work at all well on a pizza witout cheddar.
Favorite pizza is olive oil and garlic with a few shakes of ground red pepper covered with a light coating of parmesan or romano and topped with mozzarella.
If those aren't choices, then just a red sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni.

So what is it? Just a general whinge?
Nah, just a way of writing in while pretending to not write in so I can claim I am following the rules by not writing in.
I am happy with standard pizza sauce.
Grilled chicken is very good on white pizza!
with bleu cheese and buffalo wing sauce
Wait i just noticed theres no BBQ Chicken of the Pizza !!!!!
Ok, I voted.
Suddenly--awkwardness.
Best pizza is margherita -- crust tomato sauce mozzarella sundried tomatoes basil (heavy on the basil)
Wait i just noticed theres no BBQ Chicken of the Pizza !!!!!
it falls under chicken. I couldn't be arsed to specify types. :D
Oh NOES! I are allergic to jalapenos!!!!!! :cry:
White pizza!
i forgot to mention. herbed fuckin' crust. baking a good italian spice blend or whatever in with the dough is fantastic.

Why din't I think of that? That is SO going in my next home-baked pizza! Thanks, Ibs!

The way I do it is, my mom collects like Pampered Chef spices and stuff, they have a great Italian Seasoning Blend, and I put that in with the flour, dry, and mix it real good, before I add in the liquid ingredients, with just a pinch of crushed red pepper (because I am SUCH a sucker for crushed red pepper on cheesy dishes, especially pizza). It turns the crust from just the vehicle for the sauce and cheese to a complex and flavorful addition to the flavor palette of the pizza, and is much more flavorally interesting than just adding the herbs on top with the cheese, as they leech their flavor into the crust as a whole.
What about provel cheese (and I don't mean provelone!)? That weird hybrid cheese they like in St. Louis style pizza...
I like the Pizza Express Fiorentina.
Spinach, grana padano, free range egg, garlic oil, black olives
It's like the pizzas I've eaten in Italy.
I wouldn't make it myself though.
Slightly more interesting than the Cellar Burger:
Garlic
Pepperoni
Mushrooms
Olives
Bacon
Onion
Guh...I'll have to pick the olives off my piece :p
yeah, me too. but if they're green we can mail them to infi.
Meaty meaty goodness. ham, bacon, pepperoni, sausage.
And pineapple. The sweetness is really good on a red pizza.
Write in for Fried Eggplant ... especially on white pizza. With ricotta.
But asparagus? How nasty can you get. What are you people going to think of next? Green beans? Chocolate?

Banana and chocolate pizza exists.
but in Japan, and I'm not sure that counts.
Dessert pizza is not pizza, people. Reality think through the implications of chocolate, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, cheese, and red sauce.
imho, many of the combos are not 'pizza.'
I mean, some are more like a casserole on a crust, or an open-faced sandwich. Calling something pizza does not necessarily make it definable as pizza.
The pizza I always get from our local place is called a Pancho Villa:
Pesto sauce (not tomato-based)
Black beans
Red onions
Chorizo sausage
just a little mozzarella
Cilantro
I don't care if you think I'm crazy. It is the best pizza I've ever eaten.
Taco, thy name is pizza. ;)
I got a mail from Pizza Hut today.
I check them out because some of their dine-in offers are real bargains.
Their take-aways rarely appeal to me - the quality is a gamble and I can't gamble on that sort of expenditure.
They were pimping an abomination.
Crust stuffed with HOTDOG. Hotdog?! With a free mustard drizzle.
I am reeling.
Now I know some Dwellars, you have your own pizza rules. Many Italian Italians would disagree. But this goes way beyond asparagus, pine kernels, raisins, egg or broccoli.
This is so wrong that a whole planet of empaths somewhere outside the known Universe died today because of the strength of my revulsion.
Hotdog.
Bloody hell.
Ew. Pizza Hut can only compete against local pizza joints by doing crazy things like this. They developed the stuffable crust, so now they are apparently looking for different things to put in it.
I saw the hot dog stuffed pizza somewhere online. Sounds gross.
Grilled chicken is very good on white pizza!
My son's favorite is bar-b-cue chicken pizza
sausage/hotdog stuffed crust is fairly common in Asia. If you wanna be freaked out sometime find a japanese Pizza Hut or Dominos menu.
