Your Pizza Order

Pizza, the 'Pineapple Belt' and America's hidden culinary divide

At first glance, pizza seems simple enough: Dough, sauce, melty cheese. Maybe some sausage or pepperoni. A few slices of fresh tomato. Or a thinner crust with bacon or basil. Or why not a double crust stuffed full of mozzarella and garlicky spinach? And now we're down the rabbit hole of American...

Since last time (March 16, 2023):
Sausage replaced Pepperoni for the 4th favorite pizza topping.
Black Olives are now tied with Bacon on the Popular Kids list.
Artichoke Hearts, Chili Oil/Chili Crisp, Olive Oil, and Pepperoncini are still not The Popular Kids, but they are no longer The Last Ones Picked in Gym Class either...they have risen to mediocrity!
Apple, Bamboo Shoots, and Pine Nuts all got a vote! No longer in the Shame Basement, they're among the Last Ones Picked in Gym Class.

I usually get pepperoni with jalapenos, and get it cooked well done.

Now the thing about ketchup is that it's not a by itself topping. It goes on pizza that's topped with fries

I think I will call the Warhammer 40000 inquisitors. Put whatever you want on it, but don't call it pizza, have mercy on us Italians

Asparagus is on the Shame Basement list, but I see Broccoli Rabe on a lot of fancy brick oven pizzas. I hate broccoli rabe. It's basically asparagus but worse, but if people are putting that stuff on pizza, I'm surprised nobody is doing asparagus.
