Well, I wasn't going to go over to her house with a loudspeaker and
drawn firearms demanding that she put down that cheddar and come out
with her hands up, but I can give my opinion.


Here's a list of possible toppings from a pizza place:


Meats:
Grilled Chicken
Breaded Chicken
Breaded BBQ Chicken
Breaded Buffalo Chicken
Hamburger
Bacon
Proscuitto
Canadian Bacon
Pepperoni
Italian Sausage
Chorizo
Breaded Veal

Veggies & Mo
Mushrooms
Portabella Mushrooms
Broccoli
Artichoke Hearts
Hearts of Palm
Arugula
Eggplant
Fresh Basil
Fresh Garlic
Spinach
Pineapple
Banana Peppers

Black Olives
Diced Tomatoes
Sliced Tomatoes
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pesto Splash
Pesto Base
Carmelized Onions
White Onions
Green Onions (Scallions)
Sliced Bell Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
Roasted Red Peppers


Cheeses:
Asiago
Ricotta
Gorgonzola
Blue Cheese
Feta Cheese
Fresh Mozzarella
Extra Cheese

Seafood:
Baby Clams
Baby Shrimp
Anchovies
Scallops *market price
Lobster *market price




In my opinion, none of the seafood belongs on pizza. We tried the
clams. The flavor didn't work.


I like the variety of cheeses and would add even more, but I don't think
anything blue belongs on pizza.


I like the pork products on pizza but can't imagine the chicken or
anything breaded. Maybe smoked meats are what make the difference.


Somehow all of the veggies work for me except the broccoli. I wonder
why that is.
