So I’m having a pizza craze so I’d thought I’d ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.

For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it’s too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I’m not a huge fan.

Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.

Toppings - It’s either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.

Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I’d have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.

Cheese layer - Don’t really care, just don’t make it cheap wax

Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons “Market” range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.

Frozen? It’s either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands “NY” range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.

Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.

So what are your preferences in these categories?

    Most of the obvious choices will be posted so I’d like to give a shout-out to tuna and red onion, it sounds wrong but is surprisingly moreish!

    Thin base, pistachio, rosemary, and green pesto base (no tomato). For topping honey, thyme, and goats cheese.

    I’m a pretty good cook with a focus on bread making. I’ve been working on a perfect pizza recipe for years. I always have a frozen pizza dough in case of an emergency :)

    My perfect pizza is thin, with mozzarella cheese in the crust, made on a pizza iron cast plate (way better than pizza stone) - I don’t have a pizza oven yet.

    Ingredients from the bottom - pizza dough, tomato sauce (with basil, oregano and garlic), cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar), red onion, ham, mushrooms, a little bit of cheese, oregano and jalapenos.

    As for the store/take out pizza - I will never eat frozen market pizza and most of the global franchises are at best mediocre. I have few local places I like to order pizza from. They are good enough but still I prefer my own pizza.

    I like variety but if I had to pick one the local pizza place has one thin crust with beef filet, shrimp, sliced tomato and onion.

    Italian sausage crumbles, sliced black olives, thin sliced white onion. Simple but with a rich depth of flavor.

    Pan pizza, marinara sauce, half mozzarella, half Provolone.

    Pepperoni, jalapeno, mushrooms, olives, chives, and pineapple.

    Pepperoni on top so it crisps on the bake, garlic and basil on the crust.
