California like it

[KamaAina]

61. The so-called "Hawaiian" pizza was invented in CA

and is considerably more popular here than in Hawai'i, where, I might add, at least one joint offers Spam as a topping!

[Arcanetrance]

62. Spam doesn't belong on pizza or anywhere near the human body for that matter

Ugh I had a room mate that loved spam you could smell it as soon as the can was opened

[sharp_stick]

70. Don't go to Hawaii

I don't know why but they put that crap on everything down there.

I went to visit a friend that teaches at Manoa and I swear the Spam came out as often as jello molds with marshmallows in Minnesota.

[KamaAina]

74. During World War II, it was just about the only meat they had

other than a few Okinawans who kept pigs, and made a bundle in the restaurant business.

Hawai'i must, however, bow down to Guam as the undisputed Kings of Spam. It's difficult to preserve fresh meat with their frequent power outages. So popular is the stuff on Guam that Hormel uses it as a test market for new flavors like Tabasco.

[sharp_stick]

75. Sorry, I meant that to come across as funny

but looking at my reply again I realize it looks more snarky than funny.

It was a different experience going down there and experiencing the place with friends and their families rather than tourists. I'd never visited before so I assumed it was going to be all luaus and mai tai's instead of the actual foods that they ate on a daily basis. I am someone who will eat what's put in front of me at least once and I kind of learned to enjoy the stuff....kind of, it's still not on my main home rotation.

That being said we did get a full on Luau a few days before we left and that more than made up for all the Spam and Egg breakfasts the other days.

[DinahMoeHum]

79. Hell they even have a "Spam Jam" festival every year. . .

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. two...one meat, one no meat -

Pepperoni/Italian Sausage/Jalapenos is my favorite meat pizza

Parmesan/pesto/roasted red peppers/sundried tomatoes/Mozzarella my favorite non-meat

[Arcanetrance]

6. Both of those sound good

[mucifer]

3. all sorts of veggies no cheese.

[jessie04]

5. Buffalo chicken pizza with jalapeños.

Emmmmmmm.

[Arcanetrance]

8. I love buffalo wings so on a pizzas probably even better

[Arugula Latte]

7. Verrrrrrry simple: Thin crust, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, a bit of salt

baked in a wood-burning pizza oven. It's called a "margherita" but I think it must be as close to "real" pizza as you can get.

[Arcanetrance]

9. That's exactly what it's called that is one of my favorites as well

It was named for the Queen of the same name who it was supposedly first made for

[fizzgig]

13. yup

[Denninmi]

10. Barbecued chicken pizza.

Yum.

[Arcanetrance]

11. You know of all the types of pizzas I've tried I haven't tried a bbq chicken pizza

[Denninmi]

32. We have a chain here called Jet's

They make a really good one. Chicken, bacon, red onions, Parmesan and mozzarella with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. As long as onions are kept to a minimum

I'm not too picky - though I'm not crazy about pineapple on any kind of pizza.

[Arcanetrance]

24. You and me both on the pineapple

[Art_from_Ark]

47. Shakey's Pizza in Japan offers pineapple pizza

Pineapple is not exactly what I associate with pizza, but it's actually not too bad

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. Chicken & roasted red peppers or pepperoni & black olives or EVERYTHING (no anchovies)

[Arcanetrance]

16. Blech anchovies when I was making pizzas that was the one topping I hated when people ordered

I'd curse their very soul for doing so

[Denninmi]

34. Anchovies - no thanks.

Years ago at a party, they had ordered a bunch of different pizzas. I just grabbed a slice of one loaded up with "everything". Including anchovies. One bite and it went into the trash.

[SeattleVet]

15. Double anchovies.

Thin crust (slightly charred bottom, bubbled crust), real mozzarella, good sauce. A sprinkle of oregano and olive oil. And double anchovies. That's it.

(If you're ever near Mount Vernon, NY check out Johnny's. Been in business since my mother was a young girl. Moved a couple of times, but still the same outstanding pizza. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I've yet to find anything comparable here in Seattle <sigh>.)

[Arcanetrance]

17. I can't stand anchovies everyone else in my family loves them but not me

I know what you mean about good pizza I moved to Texas and haven't been able to find any

[hobbit709]

18. Pepperoni, anchovies, jalapenos.

[Arcanetrance]

20. On a side note you live in Austin right

Where do you get pizza I'm curious cause I'm gonna be helping a friend move to Austin and pizza is usually a good thing to get

[840high]

19. Black olives, mushrooms and ham.

[Arcanetrance]

21. Any particular type of ham

[840high]

51. Whatever pizza place has.

[applegrove]

22. Tomato sauce, ham sliced thin, real Mozzarella, and artichoke hearts.

[Arcanetrance]

23. Do you like a particular ham

[applegrove]

25. Black forest will do. I haven't had it in a while. A roomate of mine used

to make it. It was wonderful.

[Arcanetrance]

26. I like black forest ham and black forest cake for that matter

I also like Serrano ham on my pizza

[applegrove]

27. Don't know Serrano ham. Will look for it when I make it next week.

Thanks for inspiring me.

[Arcanetrance]

29. Your welcome I will warn you it can be expensive sometimes

[frogmarch]

28. Poe’s pizza

Crust: a white potato boiled in beer and then mashed and added to some garden brine vinegar, plain yogurt, corn meal, whole wheat flour, white flour, sugar, salt (use your own judgment on the amounts of each)

Let crust dough rise for several hours, punching it down once or twice, then spread it into a pan or pans

Sauce: pureed garden tomatoes mixed with melted cheeses and seasonings

Topping: chopped onions and green peppers, mushrooms, some kind/s of meat if you must, liberal sprinkles of cheeses, whatever

Mmmm

[Arcanetrance]

31. That sounds interesting I'll have to try that

[frogmarch]

35. Here’s a video showing Poe making it.

My friend Poe Ballantine (his pen name) is the author of Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere. (The Love & Terror documentary will be released this spring.)

Good pizza! (I omit the cilantro.)

[JimDandy]

30. Two... one a white sauce the other red.

White sauce, chicken, artichokes, basil and garlic.

Tomato sauce, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni and dill pickle slices.

Yummm. My mouth is watering just thinking about them...

[Arcanetrance]

33. I've never had dill pickle slices on a pizza

[JimDandy]

36. It's delicious! Cooking the pickles on the pizza

dries them out slightly and the flavor of everthing together is sublime.

[Paulie]

37. Two kinds

Deep dish sausage, pepperoni and extra cheese.

Thin crust roast beef and garlic.

[Arcanetrance]

38. I've never tried roast beef on pizza

[Paulie]

41. Most places use sliced Italian beef

But list it as roast beef. It's really good.

[catnhatnh]

39. Thin crust...smoked scamorza cheese...

bacon...onions....

[Arcanetrance]

40. Mmmm smoked scamorza

[Chan790]

42. Traditional New Haven Tomato Pie.

Tomato sauce, fresh chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil, a dash of oregano, and a good sprinkling of pecorino-romano.

No mozzarella. Healthier, cheaper and a light lunch. They'll hold the Pecorino Romano if you ask for it vegan.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

43. Spice, earth, and salt

Pepperoni, mushroom, and green olives.

[7wo7rees]

44. This is not crazy, it is awesome.

Sliced meatball, breakfast bacon and jalapeno.

[Arcanetrance]

45. I like sliced meatball on pizza id probably try a slice with the other two things as well

[a la izquierda]

46. Fried eggplant and mushrooms, no cheese nt

[beemer27]

48. Thin Crust Shrimp Pineapple and Feta Cheese

This is the tastiest and bestest pizza I have ever had.

[Boom Sound 416]

49. Frutti di mare

But only in Naples

[2theleft]

50. I have two...

white sauce, crab meat, artichoke hearts, cheese

or the margherita.

[Inkfreak]

52. Whatever's on it at that moment. Except mushrooms. Hate that shit.

I do love this pizza called Grandmas Pie. It's a crisper crust with garlic, marinara and fresh mozzarella. But in patches or clumps. So each bite is heavier on a certain flavor. I dunno if I'm describing it right, but it's tremendously fantastic.

[LiberalEsto]

53. Artichoke hearts, black olives & broccoli nt

[RFKHumphreyObama]

54. The local pizza chain store does a wonderful pizza on request

Melted cheese, hollandaise sauce and mushrooms. Absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, if definitely unhealthy

[Arcanetrance]

65. How do they keep the hollandaise from curdling or seperating

[PasadenaTrudy]

55. Margherita

done Naples style. Simple!

[RebelOne]

56. Extra cheese and lots of mushrooms. n/t

[warrprayer]

57. Mushrooms

[noamnety]

58. Marinated mushrooms, goat cheese, bacon.

Bonus points for chive blossoms and sage leaves on the crust but it has to be homemade for that.

[lastlib]

59. Meat--none of the green sh1t. It ought to be a felony to put vegetables on a pizza.

[In_The_Wind]

60. I love a while clam pie with fresh garlic and black olives.

[Rambis]

63. Deep Dish anything but alas it can't happen

[Arcanetrance]

64. They make gluten free pizzas I can't vouch for how good they are but they do make them

[Rambis]

66. Yeah tried them all

Not bad but the flaky wonderful softness of bread and scones is gone. I won't even start on the lack of black beer, soda bread and malt vinegar.

[Arcanetrance]

67. They need to find a way to kick celiac disease in the ass

[Myrina]

68. Spinach ... mushroom ... pepperoni ....

YUM.

If it has to be 'chain' pizza, then my heart lies with Rocky Rococco's pan style pepperoni from Madison, Wisconsin.

[Arcanetrance]

69. I don't care for any of the big chains but I did start going to little caesars on occasion since I

was informed they give healthcare to all employees regardless of full or part time status. Mind you I think no chain can be as bad as when I was visiting friends in florida and they got pizza from this place called hungry howies

[geardaddy]

71. No particular favorite

Any combo of the following:
real Italian sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni, crushed garlic, anchovies (a few go a long way) onions, black olives, basil, spinach

[BainsBane]

72. artichokes and roasted garlic

fried eggplant would be nice too.

[Arcanetrance]

73. Garlic just belongs in almost everything

[Avalux]

76. It's called the 4 Tenors!

layer of fresh sliced tomatoes (instead of sauce)
mozzarella, provolone, ricotta AND gorgonzola cheese,
roasted pinenuts
fresh tarragon
black peppered crust

This is the best pizza in the whole entire world.

[Arcanetrance]

77. That sounds amazing I want to try it

[Avalux]

78. If you're ever in San Antonio - this is the place:

http://www.romespizza.com/

Locally owned, everything's good, and I live close enough where they deliver to my house!

[NuclearDem]

80. Just vegan cheese and tomato sauce.

I'm a purist.

[Arcanetrance]

81. Lol I know plenty who don't do toppings

Its interesting to see the range of thoughts as to what makes a good pizza some with a mix of veggies and meat, some all veggies, some who don't do veggies period.

[DinahMoeHum]

82. White clam pizza, Frank Pepe's style. . .

http://www.pepespizzeria.com/

Other than white clam pizza,
I also like various vegetables in combinations (choose among onions, peppers, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, artichokes, broccoli rabe) thin crust, either garlicky white sauce or tomato sauce.

[LumosMaxima]

83. My standard:

Pepperoni, mushroom, onion.

If I want something different, I love a garlic chicken white pizza (no tomato sauce). I love pizza, but I don't like tomato sauce & it doesn't like me, so white pizzas are, like, the greatest thing ever.

[Shrek]

84. Multiple varieties of bovine and porcine meat

Topped with extra layers of 3 or 4 different kinds of cheese.

[Kingofalldems]

85. Thin crust one side onion the other bacon.

[IrishEyes]

86. Mushroom, tomato, broccoli, extra cheese.

That about covers it.

[Arcanetrance]

87. You know broccoli has been a surprise topping
