Favorite pizza toppings?

Cheese enjoyer be like

Another one I really like that’s not quite as deadly as the one I mentioned before is my go-to vegetarian pizza, where I usually top it with (apart from the tomato sauce and cheese) pesto, red paprika and sun-dried tomatoes.

In the US we have something called a Margherita Pizza, named apparently for Queen Margherita, but that story is contested. Our Margherita Pizza is fresh basil leaves and patches of Mozzarella cheese over sauce

Yeah, this is the ”proper” Margherita. Over here it’s often simplified to be more like the ordinary ”plain cheese pizza” you refer to.

Fascinating! I'd love to hear more about Swedish food culture if you're ever interested! I considered studying abroad in Sweden for a time (before covid hit and took studying abroad off the table).
In the US we have something called a Margherita Pizza, named apparently for Queen Margherita, but that story is contested. Our Margherita Pizza is fresh basil leaves and patches of Mozzarella cheese over sauce, as opposed to a standard (or plain) cheese pie which is all cheese. Funnily-enough, your Salami pie is probably much more authentic to Italian Pizza, as what we in the US call Pepperoni is a facsimili of Italian Salimis. Over here Salami goes on Sandwiches more than anything else (and it's wonderful).
All those pizzas you described sound incredible! Right now (at least in my part of the US), Chicken Bacon Ranch is having a real moment which sounds a bit similar to the meat ones you described.

Yeah, to be honest I wish we had more codified names for Pizzas in the US. You just kind of order by what you want on it, named specialty pies are a rarity.

Interesting, over here in the Midwest Margherita pizza is most prominent for having lot's of sliced tomato. It's like everybody has a different idea of what it is lol.

Hm, nice question indeed. Idk honestly why people are so triggered by non-cheese pizza. My favorite non-cheese pizza is pizza marinara, basically it’s pizza with tomato sauce, oregano, olive oil and garlic. I know it sounds a bit too basic but believe me it’s delicious lol, it’s a staple of pizza menus here in Italy. It’s also lighter and a bit cheaper than cheese pizza, which is pretty cool. Justice for non-cheese pizza!

That sounds absolutely heavenly! I feel like garlic (clove, if possible) is so underrated. Like, when people ask me "what are you cooking, that smells great", 90% of the time the answer is garlic. Or thyme.

My friend , pizza with no cheese ain't pizza and can people on this site mention other food than pizza I didn't join the cult of pizza did I?

You absolutely did, my friend. Now rehearse the 108 mantas that we'll be reciting to the holy stone oven.

I was incredibly confused by the title because I believe OP meant to say a pizza that isn’t margarita, because that’s what’s supposed to be said here. I wholeheartedly assumed this thread was about eating pizza without cheese which sounded borderline sociopathic, and intriguing.

Anyways, as stated it’s not really “cheese pizza”, cheese is an ingredient. There’s many types of it. Grouping all of it together is quite reductive. There’s a New York slice, Chicago deep dish, Detroit style, Sicilian slice and napoleon pizza just to name a few. I’ve disliked virtually every American pizza I’ve tried. Too fatty and greasy, and I usually love fatty and greasy! I’ve not truer Sicilian, but I’ve tried napoleon and it’s great ?, light and fluffy and easy on the heart, just like me!

But to maintain the spirit of the awkwardly phrased question, my favorite pizza toppings are veggies. They never disappoint. Additional meat feels unnecessary to me.

Oh believe me it is.

Right? Garlic is really underrated. I feel like most people aren't big with it because it's easy to mess up quantities, and too much garlic kinda overpowers the flavor of the rest of the dish, basically ruining the entire dish's flavor, but garlic in the right quantity? Absolutely delicious.

IKR?! We have a true man of culture and pizza right here. Neapolitan pizza is literally the greatest thing humankind has ever conceived and I am NOT exaggerating.

I think it's one of those "It looks like a normal pizza but tastes different" bait-and-switch kinda things that gets people here. If you were served one and not told what it was, you could pretty easily think it's a classic mozzarella and marinara pizza until you bite into it.

Yknow I could totally see that; I'd probably feel pretty betrayed if I was really jonesin' for a regular slice ( ߹꒳߹ )

 

[PrismRed]

My sister's favorite is tuna salad and mayo, not my first pick but it kinda grew on me too.

I love cheese pizza so the next best thing is pepperoni. And I'm a bit used to getting pizza by the slice since I've went to a pizza place that does that (Pint and slice, they have delicious pizza plus the upstairs is a bar).

The original Neapolitan pizza marinara is without cheese or toppings and it‘s crazy good especially in Naples.
I’ve been making it this way since I stopped eating animal products 12 years ago and really, good dough, a wellmade sauce with lots of garlic and some fresh ingredients like champignons, arugula, onions or broccoli is all you need. Add some olive oil (don’t go for the cheapest) and voila. I don’t think cheese is remotely necessary for a good pizza and often just dominates the flavor too much. Also, having worked at a pizzeria, you do not want to know how cheap most of that cheese is ?

My man, my dude, my legend, another appreciator of the Neapolitan pizza marinara ?

My neighbor's restaurant has a chicken parmesan pizza. It's pretty much standard sauce and cheese but it has some chicken on it as well. I thought it was really good.

I just watched that movie last night, Tough Guys Don't Dance. One of my favorites of all time. OH MAN OH GOD is great, but there's an even better line later on:
The main character Tim is being tailed by these mafia grunts with cheesy voices, and suddenly Tim has a dog which he hasn't had all movie.
The monsters attack him and kill his dog, and as one of the monsters lies at his feet bleeding out, begging for mercy, Tim says "YOUR KNIFE. IS IN. MY DOG!!!" and walks off.

Non-cheese pizza? What kind of vegan blasphemy is that! That's not even pizza!

I love pizza that has a mix of sausage, ham, and green peppers. Doesn’t matter what else it is with. Just needs to have those three.



Also pineapple can be optionally a part of the whole deal, but you can do without.

Everyone loves a Cheese Pizza. It's the classic, and often only correct answer.​

Still, everyone needs some variety every now and then. Maybe it's the guilty pleasure Hawaiian slice every once-in-a-while, or a Friday Night pie with chicken and broccoli on half. Sometimes bad Pizzerias can make great specialty slices!

On my town's main street, we have a very mediocre pizza place called Tino's. There crust is always underdone and their sauce is too sweet. Still, they make this bangin pie called The Walter. It's chicken with General Tso's and Buffalo sauce, drizzled in Ranch and it absolutely RULES!!!

What's your favorite non-cheese slice?

Meat Lovers, a lot of kind of meat, pepperoni, sausage, beef slice or dice, you name it. Ah don't forget a hot sauce on it.
