Vendetta Roundtable: Pizza Topping Of Choice
Let’s just say I have a unique diet. For the most part, I’m strictly a carnivore. I’ll dabble with certain fruits and vegetables but a vast majority of my intake is protein. The lone exception is pizza. Those cravings for a good slice just come. I figured I would ask the group what their go-to pizza topping of choice was.
I mostly wanted to ask this question because I’m not too exotic when it comes to this. Most of the time, I’ll take the plain extra cheese pizza all day. If I’m getting a topping, 90 percent of the time it’s sausage. Other toppings I’m cool with include Pepperoni, Jalapeño, Mushrooms, Bacon, Basil (if it’s done right) (egg is lowkey good too) (I’ve never tried pickles on it…). The rest can fuck off.
Here’s what the group had to say:
Individual responses
Max Everett:
“As someone who calls on pizza when he is sad, happy, angry or just plain can’t be arsed to cook. THE choice is Ham & Pineapple, often times known as the Hawaiian. However, Domino’s in the UK puts mushrooms on their Hawaiian and you best get anything fungal away from my hangover snack so I will blanket my fave topping as Ham & Pineapple. Now, favourite doesn’t mean solitary, I am also a massive fan of Sausage & Pepperoni, Anchovies, Bacon & Jalapeños and Chicken & Fresh Tomato. But it has to be the controversial and dividing topping and more precisely Papa John’s version. The combination of sweet and savoury is top notch and if that makes me a psychopath, then so be it. I do further make the case that the internet has made hating on the topping popular, since most explanations as to why to omit pineapple from pizza toppings stems from its status as a fruit. Sorry to disappoint these people, but one of the main ingredients for a traditional pizza, tomato, is also a fruit.”
