LAST POLL RESULTS

34.8% of you voted 🍕 Pepperoni in Friday’s poll: If you had to choose, which pizza topping is your favorite? (With only 10 answer slots in a Beehiiv poll, we couldn’t fit every topping on the menu — sorry to the toppings that didn’t make the cut.)

“Oh yeah, pepperoni makes a pizza.”

“Pepperoni cups, to be exact.”

“I like it plain best.”

“PEP STILL THE BEST.”

“I really prefer just cheese. But I’ll get pepperoni for the kids and give my dog the pepperoni on my slice.”

“Actually, my go-to is sometimes referred to as the Chicago Special: sausage, mushroom, onion, and green pepper. It’s a wonderful combination. If I’m getting Neapolitan-style, my favorite is ’nduja and Tropea onions — spicy and delicious.”

“Sausage… but add fresh basil, jalapeños, and caramelized onions.”

“I love this question! Sausage is a sure thing for me. One place we order from doesn’t have the best sausage, so with them, I go with the bacon, which is delicious.”

“Bacon, pineapple, mushrooms, black olives, onions, sausage, ham, banana peppers, with garlic aioli sauce instead of red sauce!!”

“Pineapple and Canadian bacon.”

“Pineapple, but only with ham! (Sorry, it’s delicious.)”

“Ham, pineapple, onion, peppers.”

“A combination of Kalamata olives, jalapeño peppers, round-sliced pickles, and sometimes pineapple goes well on a hand-tossed pan pizza.”

“MEAT, sometimes olives!”

“I like a pizza with all meats — no pineapple for me.”

“Any and all pizza is great (except pineapple)!”

“Mushrooms AND pepperoni. If just one, then definitely mushrooms.”

“Onions — they add flavor to just about any dish, including pizza. Obviously, you can’t just eat onions, but they made us pick just one. I like the meats, but I REALLY like a good veggie pizza. All items shown are delicious if you get a great pizza.”

“Sweet, carmelized.”

“Onions and ANCHOVIES. Your bias is showing.”

“I noticed you left off anchovies.”

“Since broccoli isn’t on the list, I’m going for the nontraditional olive.”

“I like the spinach and white sauce pizza best, and the jalapeño pizza comes in second place.”

“Spinach is just the start of a well-balanced meal; add mushrooms, garlic, ricotta, black ground pepper, and basil… all right there in the palm of one’s hands or balanced on one’s fingertips… but why no choice of basil?”

“How is cheese not an option?! Extra cheese plzzzzz ;)”

“What a cruel survey! Who can choose just one?!”

“No box to check for ALL?”

“I allow myself pizza once a month, and it’s pitiful how much I anticipate it. Olives, mushrooms, green peppers, and anything vegetarian. The only thing stopping me from piling on the toppings is the price. So, it’s basically a one-topping pizza for me.”

“Who doesn’t eat pizza?!?”

“I don’t eat pizza — too much salt for me.”

“Pizza has been verboten for many years ’cause diabetes. Recently, we’ve found zero-carb wraps that they sell at Aldi. They are a little thin on their own, but baking two of them together with a cheese binding to crisp up the bottom, then adding sauce, cheese, and toppings — ham and pepperoni last time, plus another layer of cheese — then putting it on a rack on top of a cookie sheet under the broiler for 5 to 7 minutes makes a darn good replacement.”
