There are many toppings you can choose to put on a pizza from mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, pepperoni… or pineapple, if you're a weirdo. With all these modern day toppings it is easy to forget where pizza started. In Italy, pizza originally only had a few ingredients, flat bread, tomato, mozzarella, and basil. This combination was called “Pizza Margherita” to honor Queen Margherita of Italy in 1886. Most common pizza toppings and their rating- Margherita pizza- Certain restaurants still serve a Margherita pizza to this day and has respectable toppings. The tomatoes add a nice, sweet flavor and the basil balances it out. It is a simple yet delicious combination of toppings. This is an 8/10 pizza. Meat lovers' pizza- Meat lovers' pizza toppings are what the name implies. It’s a normal pizza but instead of having just pepperoni it has 3 types of meat. Most commonly meat lovers' pizza will have pepperoni, sausage, and ham. Most of the time restaurants are not stingy with how much meat they put on the pizza and are not afraid to give you a heart attack. Meat lovers' pizza is one of the better pizzas. it is also filling because of how much meat is on the pizza. This is a 9/10 pizza. Pepperoni pizza- Pepperoni pizza is the standard pizza at every kid's birthday and social gatherings, and for good reason. Pepperoni pizza is simple but sustains so much flavor with little effort. The pepperonis add a salty flavor that is just the right amount. Pepperoni pizza is delectable and a staple in American cuisine. This is a 10/10 pizza. Cheese pizza- Cheese pizza is an okay pizza. Unless the cheese is a special type of cheese like real Italian mozzarella, cheese pizza is not that good. Mostly little kids eat cheese pizza because they think pepperoni is too spicy or for some other lame reason. Usually no one over the age of 8 years old chooses to eat cheese pizza. This is a 4/10 pizza. Mushroom with pepperoni and/or sausage This pizza is an alright pizza, I wouldn’t order it but if it’s at a party I would eat it. This pizza is literally pepperoni or sausage pizza with mushrooms on top. The mushrooms don’t really add that much flavor but do add texture. This is a 6/10 pizza. Jalapeño pepperoni pizza- Jalapeño and pepperoni are some of the elite toppings on pizza. Some people will say jalapeños are too spicy, to this I say grow up. The jalapeños are not too spicy and they add so much flavor to the pizza with the already flavorful pepperoni. This is a 9/10 pizza. Vegan pizza- Vegan pizza is… actually alright. Vegan pizza usually has tomato, mushrooms, onion, peppers, and black olives. It is basically an excuse for a “healthy” pizza. The vegetables have an okay flavor all together. This pizza is a good excuse for eating healthy and tastes alright. This is a 6/10 pizza Pineapple pizza- Pineapple pizza is an atrocity. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put a super sweet fruit on pizza needs help. People can argue that pineapple pizza is good and gets too much hate. it doesn’t and deserves the hate. When biting into it you get the nice flavor of pizza and then you bite into a piece of pineapple and are faced with the reality that you are eating a pizza with a literal fruit on it. This combination just should not exist as there are only a few people who actually like pineapple on their pizza. If Queen Margherita was given a pineapple pizza in Italy, she would have left royalty. 2/10 pizza, it’s only receiving this rating because it has pizza in the name.
