Your Pizza Order

[Gradine]

Depends on the circumstance and how I'm feeling:

I want a red sauce pizza: What the patented "we piled a ton of meat on this", though jalapenos and black olives are also appreciated.
I want a white sauce pizza: Chicken, bacon, garlic. Classic.
I'm building my own pizza: Anchovies, Artichokes, and Kimchi (conspicuously missing from your list!). Maybe some scallions and sriracha if I'm feeling frisky

One of my local joints though has a white sauce pizza with shrimp and sriracha and it is the greatest thing ever.



Death before mushrooms

Heh. Surprisingly, nobody complaining about pineapples... but one of our top results is an absolute dealbreaker. Which is why it's impossible to buy one pizza for more than three people, I suppose.

It's funny, because pizza is the shareable food. And yet, you're right. More often than not, when you have three or more people, you just end up either ordering a bunch of pizzas, or have to default to cheese.

Look at the top vote getters so far (six or more votes):
Anchovies (6)
Bacon (7)
Jalapenos (7)
Raw Onions (7)
Mushrooms (15)
Pepperoni (19)
Pineapple (8)
Sausage (11)

Of those, I personally know people who would consider any given one of those a deal-breaker.

And if you put them all together on one pizza, and maybe replace the marinara with ketchup, you'd have a New Zealand Special!

Thing about mushrooms is a lot of joints use the disgusting canned versions. Im always cautious about getting shrooms from a new joint.

Only because someone upthread complained that no one was complaining about it, I'll go record and state, unequivocally, that pineapple on pizza is an abomination.
Seriously, ...

Spoiler: pineapple even looks like eldritch horror!

The problem I've noticed with ordering a pizza for more than one person isn't the toppings, it's stubbornness. There will always be that guy, the person at the table who will absolutely refuse to compromise at all, to anyone, regarding pizza toppings. In that guy's mind, he has decided long ago that a pizza should not, cannot, and will not, ever, under any circumstances, have any pineapple on it because pineapples do not belong on pizza and you will either agree with him and accept that fact, or nobody will be allowed to eat pizza in his presence.

And the more people you have involved in the decision-making process, the greater your chances of involving that guy.

(Sorry. Do I sound bitter? I might be a little bitter.)

The nice thing about being that guy is that that guy, more often than not, gets his own pizza all to himself.
Which, ultimately, is the whole point to being that guy.

He also tends to get to eat it at home, alone, where he won't be bothered by other people who might like pineapples on pizza and tabletop roleplaying games.

Not in my experience.
It's called the "droit de DM."

Ugh. I hate that guy.

On the one hand, I have always advocated that you should try new things. And compromise is awesome.

On the other hand, my faith in humanity has recently been shaken by the discovery of a post-apocalyptic wilderness known as "New Zealand" with fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave .... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria ... and ketchup and spaghetti larded on poor pizzas as an affront to all that is good and holy.

To be clear, I have no problem with pineapple on pizza. It's not my favorite, but I won't let my preferences dictate what others are allowed to enjoy.

Which is a good analogy for lots of things in D&D campaigns.

And life, now that I think about it.
