Restaurant or takeaway:
Anchovies, onions and black olives.
Capers and mushrooms?
Might, depending on the place.

Shop:
Aldi.
Asda deli pepperoni, with half the pepperoni removed.

Homemade:
More of a flan tbh.
😐
Veggies and Jus-rol, usually 'made' by a three year old.
Done in a normal oven, on a tray.

All thin as you like, bit of pepper, ta.

What insults to gastronomy do you philistines prefer?

Square ones from the Co-op. Well, rectangular really. Don't mind what topping as long as there's no mushrooms.

Plain old home made Margherita, adorned with rocket and parmesan, Garlic oil and black pepper.

I do secretly enjoy a good old hawaiian too mind, much against my thoughts that pineapple shouldn't be on a pizza.... 8)

The only objection I have to pineapple on pizza is that it highlights just how many people can't spell Hawaiian.

And I thought I was the only onion, anchovy and black olive pizza afficionado...

That's my favourite if making my own or a 'build-your-own' takeaway, but supermarket-wise I tend to go for pepperoni on a thin base.

Can't remember what it's called, but also partial to the really thin Romano base that Pizza Express do, topped with cured meats and rocket.

As an insult to gastronomy, matzos* with a smear of tomato paste, sprinkled with sliced pickled onions, cheddar, grilled pepper(from a jar), a pinch of chilli flakes and some panfried chorizo/peperoni/salami bang under grill till cheese melts then drizzle with oil from pan.

Actual pizza? Something very thin, topped with grilled chicken, spinach and anchovies and a little blue cheese

*other brands of giant cream cracker may be available.

It's all of the wrong, and yet divine

Homemade - pretty much anything. But especially pineapple.

And I consider myself somewhat a pizza snob. 😐

Asda Make Your Own from the counter 😀

Mainly as it's the only way I can get one without any tomato sauce on it (allergic). Usually get cheese with double Pepperoni, chicken and bacon. no oils or extra cheese.

I've been threatening to make a home made pizza for years, hasn't happened yet...

Despite this I'm equally threatening to treat myself to one of those wood fired pizza ovens when the youngest starts school and I can stop paying childcare (it is metaphorically killing me).

Me - I like Hi-why-Han? And can't spell for shit with a gentlemanly dose of siracha on it.

Don't eat it much, the ones you can buy are just fat and dough.

About 10 yrs ago I ordered something in a restaurant near Colfosco in the Dolomites. It was like a calzone but it was a lical speciality fancy plaited pizza, like a pasty-calzone hybrid. Nicest pizza I've ever had but I can't remember what it was called.

Homemade, stretched thin as possible, sauce made with loads of garlic, topped with anchovies, tuna, onion, sweetcorn, red pepper.

Reindeer and goats cheese is most excellent as well.

Pineapple on pizza is just wrong; so very, very wrong.

The Ciclo Montana thread reminded me of the Eddie Stobart pizza, lovely light mid ride snack.

my daughter's best friend from junior school is Italian, so we've had some great home made ones at their place. 'Highlight' was a veggie one with broccoli, asparagus and artichoke, my wife still raves about it.

(I don't like artichoke or asparagus so it passed me by)

Thin and crisp base.
Tomato sauce, but not too much.
Mozzarella, but in lumps not grated.
Bit of goats cheese.
Chorizo or some kind of spicy sausage.
Parma ham or some kind of salty meat.
Lots of ground pepper.

Nomnomnom.

Similar to theotherjohn, had pizza actually in Italy (northern high mountain cafe) and it was simple, yet exotic topping, with extra virgin olive oil drizzled over, thin crispy base, cooked in a proper pizza oven and fantastic. I do like American pizza and understand it's popularity, but experiencing the real thing is a should do (not must do, as eating pizza's not that big a deal).

@tomhoward Tartiflette pizza has just gone on my bucket list!

For normal consumption,

Thin base:
Pepperoni and some kind of fiery pepper or shrimp

Other top toppings have to include anchovies and goats cheese.

Banned from any pizza I eat - PINEAPPLE - it is insanely tasty but it clearly evolved for upside down cake not pizza.

Stopped at a restaurant in San Francisco just on chance, didn't realise it had won all sorts of award and was mitchellin guide recommended etc.

Had a Detroit style "Motorhead"

Square pizza cooked in blue steel pans from detroit
and topped with wisconsin brick mozzarella cheese, white cheddar, tomato sauce and garlic butter toasted corners. Topped with pecorino, oregano, garlic, extra virgin olive oil

Toppings were - pepperoni, salami, mushroom, bacon, sausage, ricotta, basil

Cooked in a gas oven at 550 degrees

Honestly, probably one of the best meals I have ever had, the missus (who is an insane foody, has done something daft like a 1000 trip advisor reviews) is still banging on about it 2 months later.

Homemade with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and lots of blended jalapeños all over it. Finished with some rocket once it's out of the oven. Currently cooking them on stones in the oven but I plan to make a pizza oven in the garden...once I YouTube how to make one and get my father in law to help.

I can assure you MSG is not harmful at all. Guarantee to make your food taste good really give it a try. You can also add some to your stew or soup etc ... 😛

Mine is Ajinomoto but it's made in France ... How the hell does Japanese MSG became the norm in French food I don't know. Yes, the French food taste good because they might have secretly sprinkled some MSG to enhance the flavour just that you they don't tell you. 😆

Homemade – thin base and not overloaded with toppings. For me, chicken pieces, sweetcorn or peppers and mushrooms. Then mozzarella cheese. As stated above, the sliced seems to work better than the grated.

Top tip (think may have read it on here) is invest in one of these cast iron skillets. While pizza is in oven, heat the skillet up on the hob until it’s seriously hot. Then finish the pizza off by placing it on the skillet just for a minute or so when out the oven. It really crisps the base up nicely.

The skillet also works really well for cooking homemade nan bread.

While I like building a fire as much as the next man, I find it hard to see how to justify a wood-fired pizza oven. They’re a lot of money and I can’t believe the pizza would be that much better than the skillet method. And realistically, once the novelty wears off, how many times a month are you going to use it?

Rarely buy supermarket pizzas these days, not because I'm a snob, just the way it's played out recently.

My favourite takeaway pizza is usually a straight up pepperoni, love it

But since getting an Uuni we have pizza a lot more, it's a nice bit of family time. Usually it's a margherita with a couple of extra bits (chicken, ham, sweetcorn etc). The guaranteed winner is garlic pizza - thin base, olive oil and crushed garlic

Mmmm, need to do some pizza this weekend I reckon

I am yet to find a pizza I didn't enjoy.

That being said, given the choice proper italian woodfired pizza with one or two meaty toppings takes some beating.

Had one in France with goats cheese, honey and walnut which was pretty awesome.

I can make a mean pizza from scratch - wish I had a proper oven.

Aromi in Cambridge do a pizza with a butternut squash sauce instead of tomato, I'd recommend it highly.
For takeaway it's pepperoni and sweetcorn.
Pineapple can **** right off.

Great thick chewy base. Crispness is on a par with baggy shorts. Invention of the Devil.
Piled with various meats then covered with strong cheese. Kebab is good but any dead mammal will do. Vegetable matter is ok if mushrooms, pineapple or baked beans. Not really important as in life.
Having said all that those two chaps on some telly programme with the wizened old witch/cook did a reasonable one for the mass market. Fairly thick and chewy.

You know, I'm glad you said that. I like both thin crust deep pan, given the choice it'd usually be a coin flip in my head. Maybe I'm missing something but I've never really understand this pursuit of a pizza base you could shave with as some sort of holy grail of pizza making. "Yes please, give me less food" does not compute.

But I -like- bread.

One of my favourite "waiting for the taxi whilst beery" take-out places used to be 39's in Blackburn. They did a deep-pan pizza there that was about 2cm thick, and it was mega. You felt like you'd properly eaten something when you'd finished, rather than a cream cracker with a few onions thrown at it (plus a bellyful of something absorbent was a good idea after a night on the lash).
