Pizza toppings?

I am making an attempt tonight to use a new recipe for pizza crust and just in case it's really gross I want to cover it up with tons of toppings.

What do you like on your pizza?

Sausage Pizza for me. The pizza place I worked at used to roast Italian sausage then skin it and grind it up (It sticks together after cooking) and use it as a pizza topping. If you've got good sausage to start with it makes a great topping.

Pepperoni FTW.

I am thinking, sausage, pepperoni, candadian bacon, pineapples, bell peppers, red onions, black olives, mushrooms, and cheese..............

that way if the crust sucks we can just eat the toppings right?

Pepperoni and mushrooms.

Or spinach (with a bit of garlic).

Mmm, too many to mention...

Lots and lots of meat is always good... (pepperoni, chicken, spicy beef, pork, smoked sausage, bacon, sausage....)
Spicyness is always good too....
Ham and pineapple...
Chicken and spinach...
Olives, anchovies, capers....
Bolognese works suprisingly well...
As does potato, bacon and creme fraiche....
Egg on pizza is yummy...
Calzones are amazing...

.... as I said, way too many to mention, hehe :p

Plain cheese, New York style, thank you very much :D , though I do like the occasional pepperoni-and-onions (well done so the onions crisp a bit) and ham-and-pineapple is also good (never thought of sweet corn with that). Had mashed potatoes once on pizza and it was surprisingly not terrible.

i second the egg! and spiceyness is always good, yes (normal pizza with a spicy chilli oil to drizzle over is awesome). the potato one was great too (surprisingly) and like a small meal in itself

Yeah, but see, here we have either "normal" salami or that spicy, orange coloured salami (i.e. pepperoni in English) on pizza, and I only like "normal" salami.

And in the US, if my memory isn't toally messing with me, it was ALWAYS called pepperoni, yet wasn't necessarily or even most of the time the stupid spicy orange coloured stuff.

Bah, I hate this! :mad: :( :p

I generally like a variety of cheeses, meats, and vegetables. I like to get a well rounded meal out of my pizza rather than having just a slab of crust with tomato sauce and a bit of cheese and meat. It's healthier and tastier, in my opinion.

And compliments to Smunkee on a great thread topic.

They may have been, those evil Italian-Americans. Pepperoni on the East Coast, where I grew up and consumed mass quantities of it, is the smaller, orange stuff. Salami is Genoa or "hard" salami ... I'll pause now for the inevitable giggling ... which wouldn't be bad on pizza. Heck, purist that I am, you can cook just about anything on a decent pizza crust and it would be good! :D

I'm actually thinking of the little Pizza Hut pan pizzas we had on campus - they had "pepperoni pizza" and I'll be damned if that was the kind of pepperoni you're all talking about. Because if it was, I wouldn't have liked it. Plus, it wasn't orange. So there. *mopes*

Pepperoni here is a kind of sausage that roughly fits the salami catedory here...almost. Basically they will call any red coarse ground sausage that contains whole or mostly whole peppercorns salami and get away with it in the US. Most pepperoni doesnt quite fit that because it is fine ground and often doesnt have identifiable peppercorns. Adding to the confusion about salami here is that there is Salami which is a wet refriherated luncheon loaf type of sausage that is usually more than 4 inches in diameter and typically used for sandwiches and hors douvres plates and there is also dry salami which is unrefrigerated much drier and usually less than 3 inches in diameter. Dry salami is portable without spoiling (espesh with wine and cheese on picnics and camping). Dry salami thinly sliced is what you'll usually get if you ask for salami on pizza here. It's way less spicy than pepperoni.

Never thought of it, but sounds good. There's a place around here called Anthony's (probably a chain) that makes a pizza with spinach, artichoke hearts, eggplant, and garlic. It's really, really good, but I can only eat artichoke hearts sparingly. (Give me a bit o' gas.)

I am making an attempt tonight to use a new recipe for pizza crust and just in case it's really gross I want to cover it up with tons of toppings.

What do you like on your pizza?

Meat - the more the better. Salami, pepperoni, ground beef, Italian sausage (both sweet and hot), ham, bacon, Canadian bacon,and my little bro's specialty - homemade venison sausage.

Veggies: onion, black and green olives, mushrooms

Toppings disallowed: pineapple, bell pepper, pinapple, potatoes, pinapple, scrambled eggs, pinapple, mayonnaise, pinapple, squid, pinapple, squid ink, pinapple, green salad, pinapple, asparagus, pinapple, broccoli, pinapple, a lot of other horrible stuff that the evil pizzarias here in Japan have attempted to inflict on my pizzas, and pinapple

I get the feeling that you don't like Pineapples... :p

My friends who went to Japan, tried to order a pizza... when they asked (in Japanese) the size of their pizza's they were told...
2 Kilometers in Diameter...


and they also found out that Sea Urchin does not make a good topping for pizza...

Like we said, the Japanese have evil, 3V1L ideas as to what constitutes pizza toppings.

And they will often times NOT TELL YOU what's on it until AFTER you take a bite.

And pineapple is one of the best toppings.

Finally, a thread arrives that ive earned a doctorate in.

Tastes vary so much per person that you really cant say one topping is better than something else...

Except anchovies.

Thats just nasty.

Salty, slimy, gritty fishy, oily nastiness....you people who like them should atone for your sin!

So should anyone who thinks theyre too good to tip the poor guy who has to bring you, your pizza.
You people suck all the donkey balls on the planet...

Those poor slobs burn thier cars into the ground, use about 10$ in gas a day, and suffer higher insurance premuims, just to bring you something you were too lazy to come and get yourself.

Pizza is a luxury item.
Its exspensive.
If you cant afford to tip, you cant afford pizza.

If you can afford to blow 20 bucks on one meal, you can afford to give the driver at least a couple of bucks.

The better the tip, the more the driver will appreciate it, and hook you up when you call back next time.

If your porchlight is out, or your house numbers arent clearly visible from the road, say something...

though for the tipping thing, we don't tip so much in this country. or in fact hardly at all - you tip when you've had exceptional service; its not expected really. so when i get pizza delivered i have thought about tipping but never have cos it would be kinda weird and the pizza guy usually just drops and runs off again... plus they charge for delivery too.

Not sure how much difference there is in pizza delivery in the UK.
Any idea how much they make an hour?

Where I work, the drivers dont get any part of the delivery fee.
Most places have merely added it as a way to increase the price of your pizza, where they used to offer free delivery.

What would you consider "exceptional service"?

i don't know. like, exceptional service in a restaurant where they've been really nice and friendly and helpful. just doing their job doesn't really warrant a tip. just the way it goes in this country

Yeah, but see, here we have either "normal" salami or that spicy, orange coloured salami (i.e. pepperoni in English) on pizza, and I only like "normal" salami.

And in the US, if my memory isn't toally messing with me, it was ALWAYS called pepperoni, yet wasn't necessarily or even most of the time the stupid spicy orange coloured stuff.

Bah, I hate this! :mad: :( :p

Salami is less spicy, cut thinner, but bigger around and usually reserved for cold-cut sandwiches.

Pepperoni is more spicy, cut thicker, smaller around, and usually served on or with something, like on a pizza or with crackers.

Of course, one can eat both plain or together. :)

From the numourus complaints I have heard, it tastes like medication to them. I guess there is a popular child's med that contains ginger root to mask the taste because every Japanese I've fed it to has said the same thing, it tastes like kids' meds.

They don't eat a lot of it, or dairy products period. This is starting to pick up and I can find more cheese in places (it should be noted by more cheese I mean I found something other than pizza cheese and pre-sliced American).

Just to add, J cheese is usually bland processed unidentifiable cheese. It's often advertised as "mild" (an English word J advertisers LOVE to death). Fortunately we have a better selection at the import stores here in Osaka. But for those w/o J experience, think of an Asian market in a fairly homogenious city. You might find a selection of fish sauces, but not on the scale of what you'd find in a market in Bangkok.
