In an attempt to keep the food theme going, what do you like on your pizza? I eat LOTS of pizza, pizza bagels, French Bread pizza, English Muffin pizza, pizza rolls, pizza hot-pockets, pretty much every kind of pizza-related dish you can name.

My perfect pizza consists of:

Black olives
Lots of cheese
Various dead animals

That's it.

1. Meat.

2. Anchovies, if you can talk your fellow pizza-orderers into it.

3. As many veggies as people want to throw on it. I like stuff on my pizza. Lots of stuff.

4. Never pineapple. Never. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!

There was a Chinese place in DC in the 80s that used to do Chinese food on a pizza crust. That was surprisingly good. It's sad they didn't last.

What about crust? Do people like thick or thin crusts? I've got to go with thin. The purpose of crust is to hold the stuff long enough to get it into your mouth. It isn't a food in and of itself.

Here in Philly there's a thing called a "tomato pie". Crust and tomato sauce. No cheese. Very popular for some reason.

Thick crust, double cheese, sausage pepperoni and mushrooms.  Mushrooms are kind of optional.  Tomato sauce, of course.  Sometimes I like a cheese pizza with green olives, then put some sour cream on top of it.

The funny thing is, the idea for pineapple on pizza was to augment the addition of shrimp. If you've ever gotten that nautious feeling after eating shrimp, know that pineapple is supposed to cure it. BUT now I see pineapple on pizza with no shrimp. I'm not much of a fan of it, although pineapple is good for shish-kabob (Another thread maybe?)

I disagree with you there. I always eat the crust, ecpecially the bread-flour kind. When I was in the Army living in the barracks, I never let anyone have a second piece of MY pizza if they didn't eat the crust (We called it 'pizza bones', or at leat those that didn't want to eat it did).

We could also get into a whole white pizza vs. red thing.

Mostly when I eat pizza it's your basic red pizza, with I guess mozzarella as the main cheese. But sometimes I enjoy a good white pizza with a few different cheeses and not a whole lot of stuff (usually spinach or broccoli).

Generally I like Pepperoni pizza, as well as supreme pizza - the way Pizza Hut makes supreme pizza.  I'm not a fan of Hawaiian pizza, nor sauerkraut pizza.  I'm not all that fond of chicken pizza either, while I like chicken it just doesn't seem right on a pizza.

My favourite pizza is spinach and ricotta with loads of tomato. I like to eat alot of sea food, so sea food pizza's too. Most people I know can't stand sea food and don't know how I can eat it all on a pizza.  :smile:

You forgot to add garlic bread.

ham and pineapple is my favorite, though I'm more than happy to have a plain old ordinary cheese and pepperoni or cheese and canadian bacon. 

I used to like peperoni, sausage and hamburger.  However, and I blame my wife for this because she always suggested pizza when we went out to eat, I have eaten way too much pizza in the past 10 years that I simply don't like it anymore.   :bluesad:

Hamburger, mushrooms, EXTRA cheese, and light on the sauce. On  a thin crust.


(While in Japan, I got to try cuttlefish pizza.  Surprisingly good.)

You know, speaking of crusts, there's this local pizza joint in town you can get their "thick" crust pizza, and I mean that sucker is THICK.  It's almost like eating one of those big pretzels found at the mall.

As for the subject at hand, I'm a picky eater, I don't care for olives, mushrooms, onions etc.  I just like cheese, pepperoni and bacon on my pizza.  If it has sausage, I'll eat it, but it's not my fav.

DAMMIT, you guys are making me hungry!  Enough with the damn food threads, I'm trying to lose weight here...

1. "Everything" on it, meaning pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, black and green olives.

2. Greasy New York style pepperoni.

3.  The Thai chicken pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.  (Also, the garlic chicken pizza with bordelaise sauce!).

As for crust, medium thickness.  Not as paper thin as some New York style pizzas, but not as thick as Chicago style (where the taste of the bread can overwhelm the toppings).

Pineapple should never be on pizza. 

I'm not a big fan of pizza in general, but I do like Pepperoni, and the meat lovers pizza.  That had pepperoni, ham, sausage, chicken. 

Down the Jersey Shore, during my vacation, they had the following:
Peanut Butter and Jelly pizza,
Oreo Pizza (Pizza, with the cheese, sauce, etc.  Had oreos, whole oreos, on top.)
French Fry pizza (Pizza, etc, except, instead of oreos as a topping, there were fries.)

Are these found anywhere else?

I prefer thin crust with extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage and ham.

When done right White Cheese or Grandmom Pizza is the best.

Besides that all veggie pizza is good.

Peperoncini and a huge amount of dönner kebab. you should only be able to see the crust( witch is my favorite part after the kebab), and to that some spicy kebab sauce.

Anything these guys make: www.debonairs.co.za (http://www.debonairs.co.za) ~ Great pizza!

Or I could go with my usual topping of flies and stinkbugs.... :buggedout: :buggedout: :tongueout:

I usually enjoy just a plain old cheese pizza which I like the most, but I also enjoy BBQ pizza (BBQ sauce, meat, and I think some kinda of sauce which I am not sure what it is.  BLT pizza which is great, but messy.  I also enjoy pizza with pepperoni and bacon.  I once made a cheese-less pizza and it was quite good overall. 

Well, I see that just like in real life, the only vote for anchovies is mine.

We anchovy-eaters lead a lonely life.

I really want a Dominoes pizza right now :smile:

They are pricy...but so good.

Anchovies is one thing I MUST have on pizza ... when I was in the Marines and living in a squad bay you'd order pizza and people would always try to bum or buy a slice of it, so I learned that if you get anchovies or even extra anchovies you would not be asked for a slice and if you were you just said "It's got anchovies on it." and they went away. So now I always get them on pizza, but in addition to that I like about anything on them.

There is one place around here that still uses a wood fired pizza oven and make it the REAL ITALIAN way, not the Americanized chain version, they are about 30 miles from me but well worth the drive. I really like the seafood pizza, with shrimp, squid, octopus, anchovies and assorted veggies and crushed tomatoes (not sauce) all topped with feta, mozzarella, and asiago cheese.

Fast food pizza like Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns etc ... I'll pass.

Dominoes has gone down in quality over the years.
I got a pie from them not too long ago and ended up throwing almost half of it out because it was so bad.   :thumbdown:
Both the sauce and cheese were incredibly bland.  Circus said it best...it did taste like sweaty feet. 

I like to go out for pizza but rarely do because all of my friends love to load their pizza up with vegetables, all of which I hate.
Green peppers, onions, olives, you name it, I hate them all.

The only thing I like on my pizza is meat and cheese.
I prefer thin crust.  Thick crust to me is like a burger that's 90% bread and 10% beef. 

My all time favorite is Pizza Hut thin crust with pepperoni and extra cheese.   :smile:  :thumbup:

This topic just reminded me: there's a pizza place not far from here called Pizza Schmizza that sells alligator pizza.  I've always wanted to try alligator, and pizza kicks ass as it is.  Hmm... I must make the two work.  If it tastes awful, I'll just call one of my starving friends over and let him go to work.

The fact that you profess to know what sweaty feet taste like scares me. YOU are the reason coulrophobia exists.  :bouncegiggle:

I don't think it'll be bad, gator is really good meat and we eat it hear at least twice a month. It's good deep fried and dipped in sauce (BBQ, Ranch, whatever).

Alligators are very close to the top of my list of animals I really really want to eat.  Unfortunately, I can't get it locally and I can't really afford to get it shipped to me. 

Kangaroo is currently the pinnacle of that list, and the same issue applies. 

Funny thing is I've had alligator but I couldn't tell you what it tastes like. I've had alligator stew in Cajun places and all I could say is it was OK, made a perfectly good Cajun stew. Probably I was tasting the spices more than the alligator.

I'll eat almost anything on a pizza except seafood. I prefer either a serious deep dish style or a very thin crisp crust. Soggy crust will RUIN an otherwise good pizza.

I take it you are not in the US? It's about US$9.00 lbs online, but we have a fish monger that comes around every other week with fresh seafood and other not so common meats that you can't get in the store easily and he charges $5.00 lbs for it, which is cheap compared to some common meats. 

I had Kangaroo in Australia years ago, I can't recall the favor.

I am in the US Cheeze; I guess I'm going to have to look again.  Last time I looked I didn't find anything that cheap.

Here you go ...

http://www.cajungrocer.com/fresh-foods-alligator-c-1_15_16.html (http://www.cajungrocer.com/fresh-foods-alligator-c-1_15_16.html)

$8.47 a lbs ... check the shipping cost, it seems that 5lbs or more as the best shipping rate.

5 lbs of Gator meat is $61.29 shipped to my address. If you order from them I also HIGHLY recommend you get some BOUDIN (I can get that in stores here, it's freaking wonderful)

I've ordered from this place a time or two and as I recall had good luck with them. Over half our food is ordered online since I have such a weird waste ... try buying Zataar in Kentucky.

Anywho ... it's the shipping of frozen meat that will get you, so you might want to ask a local grocer/butcher if they can get it. They might have to order it but there should be no shipping on it. I order most frozen meat products in the winter time, as the shipping is less because that don't have to use cold packs, this cuts the shipping by 2/3 from some places It comes in frozen and I just pop it in the freezer until I'm ready to use it.

I highly recommend https://www.bavariasausage.com (https://www.bavariasausage.com) too, fantastic natural casing franks and brats ... if you've never had them you are missing out.
I severed them at a dinner party one time, people at first thought ... "what a cheap bastard serving hot dogs" ... then they tried them, then they went into a food orgasm. 3 years later I still have folks telling me about those franks being the best they've ever had.

Thanks Cheeze; sadly, I don't have access to freezer space at college.  I'll have to see about getting some for Spring Break or something.

Ah! College might I recommend Ramen Noodles and Mac and Cheese. That was my budget in college ... well actually mac and cheese was a luxury.

Ramen makes me violently ill...don't know why, but it does.  Most of what I eat at school is mac and cheese and Dinty Moore microwavable beef stew.

Alligator flavored Ramen noodles... now there's an untapped market!

I like chicken hearts in my Ramen noodles.

I like black olives,green peppers,jalapeno peppers,mushrooms,lotsa cheese,and those little crused red peppers. Meat......Italian sausage!

I can't eat Ramen noodles. Smell lke jail. That's the main food in county jail. Whole cell would smell like dirty feet and Ramen noodles. One of the turnkeys remarked that-"This place smells like ass and noodles!"  :bouncegiggle:

I don't know where or when, but I definitely have to use that line soon!

QuoteAnchovies

Shouldn't that be 'Salty Sea Kittens'?

I used to eat Ramen noodles all the time up until a couple of years ago when I had a blood pressure scare and had to change my diet. Turns out I've become sodium sensitive and Ramen  is extremely high in it.  I used to mix it with almost anything.  Ramen mixed with Tomato Soup is really cool.

(http://trevanosborn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ramen.jpg)

Are the noodles themself high in sodium or is it mostly in the powered flavoring that usually comes with them?

I keep several packs of the noodles at work for a quick snack with frozen vegtables, shrimp, and various low-sodium soups and Asian sauces. But I always throw those packets of flavoring in the garbage, viewing them as evil little heart attacks in a foil package.

Actually, I think that it was more the flavoring packets than the noodles themselves.

I think it's just the favor packet, it's about 99.9% salt with a dash of bullion. The noodles should be like most noodles with only a touch of salt in them. I rarely use the so called favor packet and find some equally unhealthy additive to put with it like Teriyaki Sauce which in mostly salt or Hoisan Sauce, Fish Sea Kitten Sauce etc.

They're spicy, and often pickled over here.

I love that stuff.

We have those international grocery markets here where you can buy it by the quart - and for cheap, too.
