    chose other because pizza with extra cheese means an extra topping but it could also mean plain because its all cheese.

    but this is the best pizza it is a good source of calcium but it can cause diabetes because of the flour used in pizzas so best in moderation.

    I went with all three because, depending on my mood, I love pizza plain, or with toppings.

    Pepperoni used to be my favorite, but it doesn't agree with my stomach anymore.

    Sausage is always a good choice; it nicely blends with onions, too.

    Bacon and onions sounds good as well.

    I also like corn, but I have to put that on myself. I still haven't found a single American pizza place that offers it.

    I can do Hawaiian, but I wouldn't buy it for myself.

    Everything pies are always fun, but get a little pricey.

    Finally, I also chose "Other" because I developed a taste in Japan for pizza with mayonnaise instead of tomato sauce with Pototoes.

    Most poeple don't know this.Well... New York city folk do.
    But a Pizza is only as good as it's base or crust.
    A Pizza should be doughy.Not crisp or thin.Biting into a Pizza
    should be chewy and soft bread dough.Those who order a thin
    & crisp Pizza have no bidness ordering a Pizza.
    If you Order Domino ... insist on original recipe,hand-tossed.

    As a diabetic I can assure you that the flour used in pizza's does not cause diabetes

    Ten years ago, I'd've agreed with you, but lately, no one wants to be around me when the toxic fumes start enveloping the room. :fart:

    PS- isn't it awesome that you don't have to go searching for the fart icon?

    Deep dish or hand-tossed. Italian Sausage, or only cheese. Or mushrooms and onions. No green peppers please.

    We have Pizza every Monday cause of the Monday special and I don't have to cook.

    Again,people tend to focus on Toppings.If a Pizza doesn't have a
    proper base { The Crust } all the best toppings in the world
    won't mean a hill of beans.The most important part of a Pizza is the
    Bread.Don't focus so much on Toppings.
    It's like focusing on how a Politican dresses or talks.That isn't
    the important thing.
    How good is cereal if the Milk is outdated and the bowl kinda
    dusty.

    Why have a pizza without any topping???

    I have ham, capsicum, onion, salami, and a very small amount of cheese. I hate cheese but it holds everything together!

    They're called "bell peppers" here in the States.

    You know Mak, I can't begin to relate how much Australian English I've learned from reading your posts - they're great! :)

    BTW - Happy Birthday!

    I used a few of them Saturday at a church barbecue I cooked at - grilled some salsiccia, then let the sausages soak in a mix of vegetable broth, tomato paste, Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, peperoncini, Anaheim peppers, and bell peppers that I'd simmered on the stovetop - kind of like giardiniera without the vinegar.

    The Southerners are impressed that a Yankee can actually cook something! :D

    If you're talking about the delivery stuff - Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, etc. - then I'd agree.

    But... there are some places in the Northeast (NY, NJ, PA,) as well as in and around Chicago, that make pizza the old-school way - thin crust pizza cooked in a coal-fired, brick-lined oven.

    Pixxa Hut isn't bad, as long as its thick crust pizza! Dominos is terrible. I wouldn't feed that much to my dog. But a nice pizza cooked in a brick oven sounds oh so yummy...:)

    I think its a matter of preference. And for the record, New York style is thin crust.
