Pizza Toppings

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:00 pm

About to stretch myself out some dough for the nights tea -

Question is what are your favourite pizza toppings? I've got a few different things in but I'm after ideas.

Generally I'm a pepperoni type fella but lately I've been getting the meat out of sausages and putting that down with some chilli.

Pepperoni and bolognese

In Italy less is more with pizza toppings so I like to keep it traditional with donner meat and pineapple.

Call me boring but you can't go wrong with a pepperoni or even a margherita. Less is more.

Tuna, anchovy, red onion and extra cheese with chilli oil

Simple Ham and Pineapple or Sweet Chilli Chicken.

4 cheeses also decent.

Minimal toppings, ALWAYS on a thin base, none of this deep pan or stuffed crust nonsense.

A basic margarita with fresh basil and mozzarella and some pepperoni will do me.

You've never had a Giordano's Chicago style!

Pepperoni and red onion is the correct answer.

Claret knight · Post by **Claret knight** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:15 pm

Pepperoni and lots of fresh bullet chillis with a bit of Mr Naga in the sauce base

You’re right, I haven’t

Pepperoni, green peppers and red onions.

I sometimes collect from our local Italian restaurant when I want authentic/traditional, pepperoni or chicken kiev.
When I want fully loaded, it's Asda large thin and crispy. BBQ base with steak, red onion, bacon and mushrooms.

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:23 pm

Ham and Pineapple

Sweet Chilli Chicken

4 Cheeses

fanzone · Post by **fanzone** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:30 pm

Ham chicken and pineapple with black pepper

Billy Balfour · Post by **Billy Balfour** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:31 pm

Mushrooms and/or good quality ham. I wouldn't trust anyone who wants to add pineapple. It's just wrong. Like someone adding jam to cheese on toast.

Use chilli tomato puree if you want a bit of heat on a homemade pizza.

I make my own sauce but I've got a chilli leftover so yeah I will tonight

lucs86 · Post by **lucs86** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:51 pm

Sweetcorn and jalapenos

Elbarad · Post by **Elbarad** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:22 pm

Just mushrooms

AGENT_CLARET · Post by **AGENT_CLARET** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:24 pm

Nduja sausage, chorizo sausage, jalapenos and red onion, Basil not oregano

On my homemade poolish pizza dough base made at least four days before its needed, I fully recommend making poolish pizza dough it's fantastic, if anyone wants my recipe that I took about 1 years of playing around to perfect it I can post it if needed it's about a 65% hydration dough so not to difficult to work with

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:24 pm

Ham, pepperoni, spicy beef, mushrooms, pepper, red onion, sweetcorn, jalepenos

Jakubs Tash · Post by **Jakubs Tash** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:25 pm

Fresh green chilli to add the desired bang.

When Toni still had his place in Great Harwood, he would make his chefs special which had salami, pancetta and peaches. Incredible taste I’ve never been able to replicate.

I also enjoy a white pizza with onions, olive oil, garlic and cheese.

exilecanada · Post by **exilecanada** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:40 pm

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza from PapaJohn's. Green pepper, onion, steak, mozzarella, provolone, with garlic sauce as a side dip. The only pizza I ever order, a little on the expensive side but ohhh sooo good.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:55 pm

Anchovies, mushrooms, chillis, basil

what_no_pies · Post by **what_no_pies** » Wed May 17, 2023 10:58 pm

I often whizz up a quick one on a wrap.

Ketchup and tom puree on the wrap, half a mozarella ball torn uo, but of grated cheese, nduja and some roquito peppers.

Fresh basil leaves added afterwards elevate it.

Just back from Italy and honestly the above isn't a bad substitute for the real thing.

houseboy · Post by **houseboy** » Wed May 17, 2023 11:15 pm

I like most things, especially a bit of spicey, but pepperoni with mushrooms is excellent.
I must say though that although I like both sweetcorn or pineapple shouldn’t be within a mile of a pizza. And stuffed crusts don’t exist in Italy to the best of my knowledge.

roperclaret · Post by **roperclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 11:29 pm

Quick tip. If you ever have to order from Domino’s make sure you tick the Italian base option. So much nicer than their standard doughy base

Barbecue sauce, chicken, jalapeño slices and then….grilled /blackened / caramelized mandarins or grapefruit. Trust me.

California Colner · Post by **California Colner** » Thu May 18, 2023 3:11 am

Tuna, mushrooms and onion

Beetroot and goats cheese,had it in London after watching the clarets at Chelsea,boy did it work with a good drizzle of chili oil

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Thu May 18, 2023 6:55 am

Developed a taste for tuna and red onion whilst on holiday in sorrento. Absolutely delicious.

Other than that, basic thin crust margherita with pepperoni added.

Please

I'm not a sweet person but the banoffee pizza we make on Pizza Party nights always steals the show.
Carnation caramel for the base of preferably home made dough. Add slice bananas sprinkle with brown sugar cook at 850 degrees and then add scoops of good quality vanilla ice cream.

Slice to share.

Big fan of Nduja Sausage on a Pizza. Probably not hot enough for you but excellent.

Sound nice but what are you cooking it in, a nuclear reactor?

Had it for the first time on a pizza at weekend when we ended up here https://www.rudyspizza.co.uk/pizzerias/sale

Really enjoyed it and probably the best base I have ever had

Big fan of Rudys. I would recommend to anyone (theres a quite few of them dotted about the country now)

Pretty cheap and the quality is exceptional, especially compared to Pizza Express etc
