Top 10 Best Pizza Toppings
Pizza is one of those foods that almost everyone loves, and a big part of what makes it so special is how customizable it is. There's a seemingly endless variety of toppings you can choose from, and everyone has their personal favorites. Whether you like to keep it simple with classic choices or get adventurous with bold combinations, pizza toppings can make all the difference in turning a good pizza into a great one.CHEESE, what would we do without it? I think that cheese is the tastiest and most original/unique pizza topping.
The best part about a cheese pizza is that it is for everybody (well, everybody except for vegans). Vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike can sit together, without being judged, and have the time of their life eating cheese pizza!
I think meat on pizza is disgusting and so are tomatoes. I had olive pizza all the time when I was little, and now I'm sick of it.
Cheese is almost always on the pizza whether you put other toppings on or not, unless you get cheese-less pizza (ew?). It's just the easiest, and pizza can be less expensive without toppings at certain pizza places.
Just a classic, and works so well all the time. Next to the fundamental trio of dough, sauce, and cheese, this is the best ingredient.
Pizza without pepperoni isn't pizza to me. I'll only eat pizza if it has pepperoni.
It wouldn't taste the same without it. It mixes up the flavor of the pizza instead of every bite being just sauce and cheese.
I like pepperoni plain too, but the thing is I hate pizza. Everyone is offended because I hate pizza. I just hate the cheese. I rip off the cheese and eat the dough.
I LOVE pepperoni plain and raw. I have a fat stomach though, but it is too YUMMY! I also can't spell, and I am addicted to burritos.
I don't really know why I voted for bacon because my family is vegetarian, and we don't eat bacon, well, not real bacon anyway. We used to get this vegetarian bacon which was made of a vegetarian food product called Quorn.
Basically, they were just these pink strips made of Quorn with vegetarian bacon flavoring on them. It was pretty artificial, and eventually, we stopped getting them because they were really high in salt.
Absolutely love bacon on my pizza! Bacon makes anything so good, especially potatoes.
Bacon is the absolute best on pizza, and I even eat bacon for breakfast too.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see pineapple rank in the top five of this list. Pineapple on pizza, or cooked pineapple in general, usually gets a lot of flak and is disliked by most.
But I love it, and pineapple is easily my favorite pizza topping. It adds so much more flavor and juiciness to the pizza, and pineapple goes great with it.
It doesn't seem like it works, but it does. The sweet taste really complements the pizza very well. Looking at the top two as of this point, cheese isn't even a topping. It's a basic part of the pizza.
Pepperoni is good, but I can live without it.
Sausage on pizza is HEAVEN! It tastes even better if the pizza is bought from Giuseppe's or Papa John's.
I like bacon on pizza too, except that it rarely has flavor. Anyway, everyone should vote for sausage! I do not understand why sausage would EVER be in fifth place when you're voting for the best toppings.
Although, my big sis is probably pleasantly joyful right now because her favorite pizza topping is pepperoni, which is so-called 1st place. I am never eating pepperoni again in my life!
Sausage is so amazing that I can use it on my pizza or in pasta if I want, depending on the day! It made me crave meat lovers pizza as my favorite food, and other meat toppings in general, like bacon and pepperoni!
Well, it is a funny topping. I did some research on the "mushroom topping" and, believe it or not, it was invented in 2000 as a millennium festival, according to my research. I might be wrong, but that's what I found.
They used to eat it to celebrate, then I started to eat mushroom pizza about four years ago. I personally think it's okay, but not utterly the best. I like pepperoni too.
The first time I heard of mushrooms as a pizza topping, I thought, "Eww," because I hate mushrooms. Then I tried a pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni, and peppers, and I loved it!
Especially the mushrooms, which was a huge surprise to me. Now I always want mushrooms as one of my pizza toppings.
I love chicken too. I just wish there was a chicken pizza topping that could have a great Italian flavor, maybe even one that could explode with flavor in your mouth like good pepperoni!
Chicken is the best ever topping.
How can it be classed as a yummy pizza if it doesn't contain traditional chicken?
It's always one of the most appealing topping choices whenever it's my turn to choose.
It goes well with pretty much anything.
Ham... Juicy ham. I love most all pizza toppings, but ham takes the cake, along with bacon.
Let's get ham above bacon! Ham tastes better, is juicier, and is less fatty than bacon!
Crispy, and with the cheese and tomato, it melts in your mouth.
Cut it into little bits and mix with chopped onions, then mix with garlic and put the pizza in the oven!
I really love Canadian bacon on my pizza. I even love Canadian bacon for breakfast as well. Canadian bacon is so awesome.
For me? I prefer an extra cheese pizza with pepperoni and olives.
Lots of people think they look yucky, but I find them to go perfectly with the pepperoni.
They are truly the best with pits. They have to be in, or they taste naff.
Up there with anchovies, really. Should be top two.
They're delicious! I cannot eat pizza without olives! And they're also very healthy.
It's the topping I always hope for. Pepperoni is so overused and overrated.
Chicken, mushrooms, and onions are the perfect trio for me!
I have acquired the taste for onions over the years. It gives a nice taste to the pizza.
It's so good. No justification is needed.
Obviously needs my first vote. Except for dough, the pizza sauce is the most fundamental component of pizza.
Just saying, I don't think I have ever had a pizza without tomato sauce on it, but that might just be me?
Finishes off the perfect pizza topping of double chili beef, double cheese, spicy chicken, pineapple, and garlic oil.
While meat is good, a few jalapeno peppers add something unique to pizza.
It is through tanginess that my vote extends to jalapenos.
Ah, just imagine the taste with pineapple and olives!
And a soft crust as the spice drifts through your mouth!
Almost picked pepperoni. BBQ sauce and chicken are better, though. Same with buffalo sauce and chicken.
BBQ sauce is actually amazing on pizza. I was lucky to accidentally discover that.
Mushrooms and black olives make for a delicious vegetable pizza. Green peppers are very, very good too, but go light on them as they tend to overpower the other flavors.
Top your fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza with cold sliced fresh tomatoes, and you'll be in vegetarian heaven!
They add a fresh, crisp crunch and a green splash of color to any and every pizza!
Green peppers aren't only very yummy, they are also healthy since they're a vegetable. I love green peppers!
Green peppers would actually complement the other flavors in a good way, despite the weirdness of it.
Seriously? Tomatoes are just number 16 on this list? I put chopped tomatoes on all my pizzas, and a load of tomato sauce underneath. I am disgusted.
The dream food for Americans is literally cheese on bread. I, for one, put all sorts of vegetables on my pizzas.
When you bite into the pizza, the juiciness of the tomatoes bursts out. It's so good!
Cheese, tomato, and garlic on top, oh my goodness, YES! Try it.
You can avoid garlic. It is not necessary, but it gives the pizza a great taste.
Yep, all you have to do is add half a packet of onion soup mix to a pound of ground beef, and you'll be in heaven!
This is a Midwestern thing that should be nationwide. It's the best.
Ground beef, I imagine, can be a finishing touch of sorts on a meat lover's pizza or something.
The best topping is anchovies. This topping was the real original topping that came out of Naples. I love all pizza toppings (except chicken), but anchovies give the taste of great Italian food - and I am not even Italian.
Anyone who doesn't like anchovies on their pizza is boring and a philistine. The best co-topping with anchovies is onions, although tomatoes, mushrooms, goat cheese, and feta cheese work well too.
The cheeses, in particular, will mellow it out.
Salty, delicious, perhaps a controversial choice for some, but always a winner when we make pizzas.
So many pizzerias don't even offer anchovies these days, but it's a real shame. Fry knows what I'm talking about.
I love salami on a pizza.
My favorite topping!
Meatball pizza. Everyone loves it.
I love basil on my pizza with fresh mozzarella and Italian sausage.
LOVE this one! But to the guy who said this was healthy... um, no. At least, the kind I get is deep-fried, thinly-sliced eggplant. It is crispy and greasy (in a good way) and savory.
If you haven't tried this, then you are REALLY missing out.
Eggplant actually tastes incredible on pizza. Plus, it's super healthy too!
