Happy National Pizza Day! I’m just trying to live up to my tag line and talk about food as much as possible.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza?
2. What crust do you prefer?
3. What sauce do you prefer?
4. What toppings do you prefer?
5. What brand do you prefer?

 

[umyesh]

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? 10
2. What crust do you prefer? Stuffed crust will always be my fave. I need to figure out how to make it myself…
3. What sauce do you prefer? Red sauce. Sometimes I like a bbq sauce for bbq chicken pizza though.
4. What toppings do you prefer? Ham, pineapple & slivered almonds.
5. What brand do you prefer? We have a place called Brick Oven that I love but it’s pricey so we only get it for special occasions. For cheap I prefer Costco. For delivery I prefer Pizza Hut stuffed crust.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? I'm a tenner!
2. What crust do you prefer? One the thinner side, but with butter and garlic seasoning. Like a breadstick, lol!
3. What sauce do you prefer?Red unless others kind of pizza call for different
4. What toppings do you prefer? Sausage, crumbles with Banana peppers
5. What brand do you prefer? I'm not sure. I like the store brand. I like the real Mom and Pop pizzarias, but it's hard to find crumbled sausage!

ETA: BBQ, red onion, and crumbled goat cheese is a fav when we make at home. We grill our pizza! Though DH just got a Pizza Oven...

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? 10 and boy did I miss it when I was eating only soft foods.
2. What crust do you prefer? Thin crust
3. What sauce do you prefer? Red
4. What toppings do you prefer? Ham and pineapple when ordering from a pizza place, frozen... sausage, pepperoni, hamburger
5. What brand do you prefer? I look for the smallest pizzas I can find in the frozen section. Locally I have found 2 different brands that aren't bad. One is Totino's, other one is "That's Smart". Once in awhile I'll splurge on a local pizza place. Prefer it to national brands.

As someone who once worked at Pizza Hut for nearly 6 years I feel like I should be an expert on this subject but that was before I went Gluten Free.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? I’d say a strong 7 if I discounted the fact that most gluten free pizza bases probably taste woeful to be quite honest (if my GF bread adventures were any indication)
2. What crust do you prefer? Thin Crust
3. What sauce do you prefer? Depends on topping quite honestly - probably top two would be BBQ or Cranberry
4. What toppings do you prefer? Either Ham & Pineapple or Chicken & Cranberry if I’m thinking takeaways. My favourite frozen pizza toppings were usually Spinach & Mozzarella but I’d end up adding other toppings to bulk it out (usually onions, tomatoes and a deli meat (ham, bacon etc) if I had it)
5. What brand do you prefer? None now as if I was going to do it I’d make my own with either a gluten free pizza base mix

or a gluten free wrap (totally non traditional I know but I’m intolerant to one of the main additives that seems to be in 99% of GF bread/dough products)

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? Maybe a 4... depends on my mood
2. What crust do you prefer? Thick or hand tossed
3. What sauce do you prefer? Marinara or BBQ or alfredo
4. What toppings do you prefer? I like different depending on mood... taco... chicken... odd things like potato (a place by here makes a killer loaded baked potato pizza)... Thai chicken pizzas good too...) I had a cheese curd brat pizza the other day that was pretty tasty... yeah werid toppers
Fruit pizza or desert pizzas are my favorites

5. What brand do you prefer? mmm I dunno again depends on mood

“A tenner” I love that! I’ve never tried sausage crumbles with banana peppers so I guess I need to! We have grilled pizza at home and my DH has a pizza oven too! Twinners!

Yay for another ham and pineapple lover! I’ll have to give Totino’s and That’s Smart a try.

I’ve never heard of chicken & cranberry pizza! I would be willing to give it a try but I’ve never seen it offered anywhere. Your spinach mozzarella plus more sounds good too.

Ooh Kari all those weird toppers sound like they’re definitely worth a try, especially the loaded baked potato! I think I’ve had Thai chicken before and liked it (from CPK I think?). Yes to fruit and dessert pizzas too!

I love Pizza, so at least an 8, but I have to be careful because I become fat intolerent due to pancreatitis. My hubby and I now make mini pizzas using tortillias, so you use less cheese.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? 10!
2. What crust do you prefer? My GGF immigrated from near Naples and opened a pizza restaurant in NY and I grew up in NY so I am pretty picky about my pizza. The pizza I prefer is probably closest to Neapolitan -- hand-tossed, crispy on the bottom but with a thicker, chewier outer crust. I also love Chicago stuffed style pizza.
3. What sauce do you prefer? a bright fresh tomato sauce (but no big blobs of tomato. I have issues. )
4. What toppings do you prefer? Mostly meat toppings. Pepp and black olive is my favorite.
5. What brand do you prefer? Just NO to chain pizza - I don't really like any of them. We have a world famous gourmet pizza place near us (Pizzeria Bianco) that is amazing (it's been repeatedly named best pizza in the US by Bon Appetit and a bunch of other places and the owner is a James Beard Award winner) but it's (obviously) super hard to get into. So, we usually get pizza from our local NY-style pizza joint, Ray's.

2. What crust do you prefer? hand tossed

3. What sauce do you prefer? pizza (red)

4. What toppings do you prefer? my fave is the classic pepperoni & cheese but I also love a good deluxe add jalapeños!!!

5. What brand do you prefer? most of them, but we have a local mom&pop that is my FAVE!

lol! You made me giggle. Give the banana peppers a try. I'd love to see what you think. I used to love Sausage and peppers, and onions, but somehow once our pizza came with banana peppers. That slight change in flavor was fun, and became a fave!

I haven't heard of those toppings, but we have weird ones too! Some we have like Taco, but I've never heard of potato! We have Penne a la Vodka pizza, and of course, lol... Salad Pizza. Which isn't actually bad. But, weird.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like pizza? TEN!!!
2. What crust do you prefer? Thin
3. What sauce do you prefer? Red
4. What toppings do you prefer? Meatball; or ham & pineapple; or pepperoni; or Marghertia; if frozen I like the "supreme w/o olives"
5. What brand do you prefer? Grotto's or Ledo's, if frozen I usually buy Red Baron brand

 

[HavaDrPepper]

They aren't bad for frozen but IMO nothing beats a fresh handmade pizza whether it is made at home or a local pizza place.

I like to make mini pizzas with tortillas too. We even make them on bread when I don’t want to make dough.

You have a right to be picky about your pizza. Chicago stuffed pizza sounds so good right now! I haven’t had one for a very long time. I’m with you and don’t like tomato blobs because I don’t like tomatoes haha you’re the first one to mention black olives; my MIL only likes black olives on pizza which has always been weird to me.

Love all these gifs Kiana! My kids all like the classic pepp & cheese so that’s our family go-to.

I love your enthusiastic “TEN!!!” My daughter likes meatball pizza too but we’ve discovered good meatball flavor is hit or miss.
