Which pizza topping ruins it the most?
- Thread starter capitalCORN
- Start date
local pizza place has a “cubano” pizza, so ham pork pickles mustard, I haven’t tried it yet, but I willeventually
I'm... not crazy about hot banana peppers.
This the kind of turn-on that makes you ashamed after.
Onions that aren't prepared first. Diced is fine, caramelized is best, but don't just throw some long stringy ass rings on my za and put it in the oven.
Probably tomatoes, especially if you're just dropping wet, sopping slices from a large tomato on there. Way too much liquid and it changes the entire consistency of the pizza for the worse.
Putting them on top can mitigate that, but you'd be better off putting some chopped sundried tomatoes intead.

Tomatoes
If you try and feed me a pizza with tomatoes and mushrooms, I will politely excuse myself from the vicinity
- They're overkill; you have an entire sauce made of tomatoes
- Shit texture; just a soft mess
- Flavourless garbage, unlike sundried, "The Best Tomato"

Thinking of this from the perspective of "if someone doesn't want that topping and tries to pick it off, it leaves its flavor on the pizza and therefore it's ruined", it's mushroom, onion, and any seafood. For my palate, it's mushroom and any seafood.
Pineapple is not only delicious on pizza, it doesn't leave a pineappley taste so if you have bad taste in pizza topping you can take it off and still enjoy the pizza.

Worst for me is anchovies because I don't like them so I cannot eat pizza with them on but also:
Onions - I love onions but they're not great on pizza cuz they're so strong and the crunch doesn't feel like the right texture. Will still eat the pizza not worries.
Jalapenos - I love these too but they are overpowering on pizza so better withou (will still devour it either way).
Shellfish - Of any kind, hate it all, on or off pizza.
Pineapple would be my single favourite topping on a pizza though.

Probably would have said mushrooms in the past. I absolutely love the flavor, but growing up the texture would literally make me cringe. I've managed to mostly get over that in the past few years. So now I'll join the chorus saying pineapple.
You must not cook. Onions are in the vast majority of recipes on this planet. They're probably the most common aromatic in all cuisines, along with garlic. And there's a decent chance they're already in the tomato sauce that's on the pizza.
Most of the posts in this thread are just embarrassing fussy eater confessions. :) (Mushrooms? Onion? Ha.)
I'd say bell pepper doesn't generally add much except excess moisture.

BBQ chicken pizza is the real travesty, rather than the pineapple + ham pizza people love to hate on. Let's take a sickly-sweet sauce that's meant to contrast with spicy/smoky/salty meat and pair it with bland white chicken meat. Might as well squirt some Sweet Baby Ray's on your Lunchables.

MAYO.
no-one can live in japan and not say mayo. it's on every other pizza here and it's so gross.
mushroom, pineapple, olives, onions, peppers, whatever — i am fine with any of that on average takeout pizza. but mayo? get the hell out.
there was also a phase here where squid ink was a popular pizza topping and base ingredient turning the entire crust black. that was not good either.

oh my god yes, so degoutant
also, anything sweet. Not really a fan of bacon/ham either, tbh.
my go to pizza toppings are sausage and mushroom so ya'll are lame.
Pineapple shouldn't be a topping that's a go to. It spills over to the whole pizza and makes the cheese taste weird.

Onions is the fastest way to get me to not eat a pizza, especially since they're hard to see and peel off.
Outside of that, esoteric stuff like sardines. Then you have peppers and veggies.
I actually like pineapple.
In the realm of unexpectedly good toppings, Salami is great, if a bit greasy.

For me it's olives. I'm ok with like a very light application of olives, but yeah whenever someone orders olives it's like fucking covered in them and it takes over the whole damn pizza. It's way too salty and I don't want an olive flavored pizza. Like if I had the olives on the side I'd be down. I think part of it might be I like cold olives more than like cooked ones too.
Surprised at all the mushrooms in here. Must be the shitty canned ones. Like nice thinly sliced baby portobellos on a pizza is fucking delicious, especially with pepperoni.

I had almonds once and they were too damn crunchy (duh) so I wasn't a big fan. I still like the pizza, though. Can't really think of anything I wouldn't eat. A pizza place near me has mustard sauce and even that was pretty good.
Pizza is nearly impossible to screw up.

yea i've had pizza with rubber mushrooms and it was garbo but then had pizza with mushroom that melts with it and is soft, it was beautiful
quality is key
I like salty olives. Hate the black ones. But too much of just about anything it kinda ruins it. Like I can deal with onions, but I've had places basically cut up an entire onion on top before. Pizza places charging per topping means they think that they need to dump a cup of every topping your order on top.
