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.
I love pizza of all shapes sizes and toppings, but if you want to know my favorite “you can only have this from now on” pizza, imma be a basic assed NY style pepperoni pizza bitch…
Facts. A pepperoni slice is what I judge a pizza place by. If you can’t get that right, I don’t care what crazy ingredients you shoved on the rest of your pies.
I do the same thing at diners but with a hot roast beef sandwich. Did you toast the bread? Is the gravy creamy and delicious? Is the roast beef heated on the griddle before serving? It’s the brown M&Ms of diner food.
It’s the platonic ideal of pizza.
You could even say it’s…iconic 🍕
Dripping so much grease you have to fold it in half and tilt it to let the extra artery clogging goodness drip down because what else are you going to dip the garlic knots in?
My favorite type of pizza is “nearby and warm,” though I’ll happily settle for “nearby”
Detroit style!
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.
Personally I’m partial to free pizza.
Pineapple 🍍
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.
I like a good buffalo chicken pizza with red onions, slathered in blue cheese
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!
Hawaiian with jalapeño and red pepper flakes
For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it’s very much in the same ballpark.
A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I’m feeling fancy
Olives, sundried tomatoes and italian sausage.
Detroit style. The crispy corner pieces!
Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza).
The dough is so thin, you roll it up to eat it.If non-Italian pizza are game then I wanna add alsacian Flammkuchen/Tarte Flambée
Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.
