I've found that people tend to be very passionate about pizza toppings. In fact, I've had many an argument with someone over what toppings to get on a pizza. So, what's your favorite thing to eat on a pizza? Don't hold back now!

Tuna

Widget_b_fr4kbxvfb5myex1egwom

I know you think I’m CRAZY, but I first had tuna pizza when I was in Italy about 8 years ago and I have been in LOVE ever since, love I tell you!

You HAVE to try it.

Do it!

Spinach

Who needs tomatoes (or sauce for that matter,) when you have spinach and cheese?

It’s one of my favorites!

Pesto

Widget_a7doocu8le3oez5ra3jyde

I don’t love pesto on pasta, but when it’s on pizza I am a BIG fan (this is actually a picture of the pesto pizza at Vito’s in Los Angeles— one of my FAVORITE pizza places EVER.)

Goat Cheese

Widget_b_trccgmffxkr3yfaao0pa

I am a goat cheese FANATIC (I eat the stuff plain, with scrambled eggs, in salads, on sandwiches…) and goat cheese pizza is no exception.

Best cheese ever made.

I’m sort of addicted to it.

Artichoke Hearts

Widget_aglibmjvhhoyndckrpblgm

I love artichoke hearts (super good on sandwiches, in salads, in omelettes…), but they’re especially good on pizza.

Oooh these look like really good ones too. Big and juicy… YUM!

I know!!

Wild Mushrooms

Widget_ckkzqrpvnllrzgfk19ywui

You have to be pretty careful when it comes to wild mushroom pizza, because sometimes the mushrooms will TOTALLY overpower the whole pizza. So beware…

Spider Pizza

eeek. i was desperately craving pizza after viewing this guide. Now? Not so much…

Kalamata, black, Greek, ANY olives

Widget_ce6scogyle6o3ydxx7vxe-

In a very close second come olives, always my topping of choice when a kid. I got lots of “oooh yuck”s because of it. I could still eat a can of olives, or a gourmet container of briney olives any day. Mmmm.

Kalamata are the BEST.

One of my favorite new discoveries are the stuffed Kalamata olives at Whole Foods— so good !

 

Fried Egg

Widget_atrrju2idnhpqwl2fupwdj

You haven’t lived until you’ve had pizza with a fried egg on top.

I would put down five of these, especially if you stash some bacon under those eggs.

3456291677900

Bring on the bacon products.

by susie  08/31/2009

I KNOW. Eggs are one of the best foods in the world. That’s why I can’t talk to those friends. They disgust me!

Ricotta Cheese

Widget_bqkngnrrzfvqr4lwjkpnbc

Forgot mozzarella. Pizza with soft pillow ricotta is where it’s at.

Fennel

Widget_chbmyjwu5gfyp_t_wwpb1i

When used as a pizza topping, fennel is usually accompanied by some kind of sausage, and it’s usually delicious.

-621293768
by susie  08/24/2009

Mmmm I love fennel and it def. adds some fabulous-ness to pizza. Esp. when sausage is involved as well.

by elisa  08/24/2009

I’m such a fennel fan! Once I ate at this restaurant where they put fennel inside the water pitcher to flavor the water, and it was amazing!

3456291677900
by elisa  08/27/2009

So does my family! My mom always makes amazing fennel salads.

Potato

Widget_ako9ufwc9cd7t4bejnjw3o

I’ve talked about my dislike of potatoes on Guidespot before, but potato pizza is one of the few instances where I will give in on the potato issue— this just looks too good to say no.

yuck.

Hahah— what’s not like? Carbs on carbs!

-619992718
by ethwiny  08/27/2009

I’ve had some potato pizza. It WAS good.

Olives

Widget_djvtgztehn85wal9lqwafs

Sometimes a simple olive pizza just does the trick.

Pineapple

Widget_a0jmc223hbvanflqtjlpa5

I could care less about the ham, just GIVE ME THE PINEAPPLE.

Buffalo Chicken

Not be be confused with BBQ chicken. I love buffalo chicken fingers, so this the ultimate marriage between those and another favorite, pizza. Sadly I don’t live down the street from my favorite buffalo chicken pizza place anymore!

I’ve made my own too, but have never been able to recreate the stuff at the pizza shop.

3456291677900
by elisa  08/27/2009

I tried recreating my favorite white pizza at home, and it’s never the same. SIGH.

If there are any Brazilian pizza places in LA (I’m sure there has to be) you should check one out. They always have awesome pizza toppings and combos.
