Pizza, one of our favorite foods. But how do you like your pizza?
One of my brothers insists that they be plain – cheese and sauce, that’s it. He says pizza should be pure and not muddied up with all the toppings.
Years ago, I used to order pizza from Dominos often, which was down the block from me. I used to get ham and green pepper as a topping, and the ham would be almost burned and curled up and tasted like bacon.
It was so many years ago, but I could almost taste it now, just describing it! Now I prefer veggie pizza toppings. My current favorite.
Here’s a list of 10 popular pizza toppings that many people love:
- Pepperoni – A classic favorite with a slightly spicy and savory flavor.
- Mushrooms – Earthy and rich, mushrooms add a nice texture to pizzas.
- Sausage – Whether Italian or spicy, sausage is a hearty and flavorful topping.
- Olives – Black or green, they give a salty, briny punch.
- Onions – Sweet or caramelized, onions add both flavor and a bit of crunch.
- Green Peppers – Crisp and mildly sweet, they balance out richer toppings.
- Bacon – Smoky and crispy, bacon adds a savory bite to your slice.
- Extra Cheese – Because who doesn’t love more cheese? Extra mozzarella is always a win.
- Ham – Often paired with pineapple for a Hawaiian pizza, ham is mild and delicious.
- Pineapple – A controversial topping for some, but it adds a sweet and tangy contrast.
