I like basically everything except Canadian bacon.

eatable, filling, just not very palatable.

(39,652 posts)thin crust
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.

(20,176 posts)I don't want anything else on my pizza because it is a simple perfection, like café-au-lait or the humble potato chip.
redwitch
(15,261 posts)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.

(287 posts)I like sauce, too.
That's about it for me, tho
Chan790
(20,176 posts)Pizza sauce, dough, cheese. A simple pie.
Perfection.

We are in complete agreement as to what makes a great pizza -- pizza!

(78,249 posts)As was the mai tai. I had a few of those in my nine years in the islands, but not a single Hawaiian* pizza (that I can recall).

(78,249 posts)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?!
Chan790
(20,176 posts)It comes in one variety. Canned.

(22,239 posts)I actually like the sweetness of the pineapples they use on pizza....it gives it a certain contrast to the palate.

(28,394 posts)Thin crust, of course.
ZombieHorde
(29,047 posts)Sometimes I get onion and green pepper, and sometimes I get Canadian bacon and pineapple (Hawaiian).

MerryBlooms
(12,248 posts)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.

(20,176 posts)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.
Rhiannon12866
(255,533 posts)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.
ballabosh
(330 posts)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.

(2,710 posts)I used to like sausage and onions and black olives, but I can't eat onions so much anymore.
I like pepperoni, too.
I like all kinds of pizza.

Systematic Chaos
(8,601 posts)Cheese or no, my favorite combinations usually involve mushrooms, onions and jalapenos. Maybe toss in some peppers and green olives too.

Ohio Joe
(21,898 posts)It's the shit.
SeattleVet
(5,903 posts)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.

beemer27
(599 posts)The best pizza for this guy would have thin crust, red sauce, shrimp and feta cheese. Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
DFW
(60,186 posts)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!
nilesobek
(1,423 posts)olive wedges that taste fantastic. Not canned but fresh vacuum packed. So anything with those olives on it.
IrishEyes
(3,275 posts)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.

(14,400 posts)Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Polish sausage, hamburger, and any other meat they have available. Except pepperoni.
panader0
(25,816 posts)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?"
