I also like a white pizza where the crust is lightly brushed with olive oil, then topped with gruyere cheese, chunks of ham, roasted garlic and caramelized onions.

You can bet the crust, sauce and cheese are of inferior quality. Sadly, all the toppings in the world won't hide that truth.

A plain cheese, tomato and basil suit me fine, also fond of sausage and mushrooms.

There are dozens of varieties, most of them grown at the Dole Plantation in central O'ahu, and many of them are tart, not sweet. So why use sweet ones on pizza?!

My husband loves the BBQ chicken- BBQ sauce, spicy hot seasoned chicken breast, red onion, bell pepper, pineapple and cheese.

I prefer- red sauce, hot sausage, blk olive, mushroom, red onion and cheese.

Thin crust.

Onions on pizza go in the oven raw and they come out raw.

You've got to caramelize them, minimally saute them, before you put them on the pizza...and it's a step too many for most pizza places. So you order onions and you get raw onion.

Raw onions are terrible on pizza! We have a Pizza Uno nearby and my friend likes one of their standard offerings, minus the onions. But every time we've ordered takeout, even though I've been very specific, they still include the layer of onions and they're pretty much raw.

but I love anchovies on a pizza. Anchovies and sausage.

But even without the anchovies, sausage is a must. Good Italian sausage and as much good mozzarella as you can get on it.

When my wife and I go out for a pizza the server knows that we want anchovies on half the pizza, but I want all that they would have put on the whole pizza. Basically, it becomes ½ with double anchovy, in addition to whatever else we got on it.

Another favorite is Candian bacon, thin-sliced tomatoes, and black olives. With anchovy.

Garlic, Artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and (if fresh) shrimp). They thought it was a great idea, and asked what it was called back in the States. I had no name, so I called it "Pizza Boston," and that's what they called it. Then I got my heart problems and had to strike cheese (and thus pizza) from my menu--a sad day that was, indeed. I have now had less than the equivalent of two full pizzas in the last ten years.

I will say, however, that I have enjoyed EVERY bite!

However, I'm flexible so I will pretty much eat anything on pizza except onions and anchovies. My friends and family don't like mushrooms, broccoli or tomatoes on their pizza so I rarely get what I really want since it seems silly to order a whole pizza for myself.

The smell, the texture, the taste.
But I love pizza. So when I call Vinny's Pizza and order a sausage and pepperoni (with black olives, onion, tomato sauce, etc)
with NO cheese, they always ask, "Is this panader0?"
