You have Dominoes Pizza in the US? Weird.
I like tuna but Tuna Pizza sounds a bit, erm... fishy.

LOL! The tuna thing was an expression. I never tasted it on pizza, it's just the smell of tuna makes me run away, and probably the main reason why I don't eat seafood.

Yes America has Dominoes. They are in every single corner. I live in a big city and there's about 15 dominoes around. But I dislike it now ever since they got a new recipe.

*drools over that pizza posted by Warrior* (the one full of toppings, not the other one ;) )

Too bad the Dominoes Pizza here doesn't look that good. ;))

Generally I go with all the usual, boring toppings:

Tomato (sauce, paste, chunks - bring it on!)
Cheese (the more the merrier)
Most kinds of meat (sausage, pepperoni, bacon, chicken, etc)
Green (bell) peppers
Onions (in moderation)
Black (but not green) olives
Mushrooms
Pineapple (only with ham in a "Hawaiian pizza")
Garlic

And so on.

Usually I prefer the thick crust (Chicago style) over the thin (New York style) but will have either depending on my mood or what's available.

All these specialty pizzas (like brick-oven, BBQ chicken, and so on) sound delicious too.

The only 'usual' toppings I really don't like are green olives (though I can live with them if necessary ;) ), anchovies, and tuna (which I'd never heard of until recently).

So yeah, I like pizza...or maybe it's just lunchtime. ;))

I just love Gattis pizza so much. I wouldn't recommend the buffet to anyone who may have this pizza place around them. It's better to order and pick up. They are very quick with orders, I will admit ;)

The way they cut their pizza is perfect. They give you more slices and it's big or small, depending on appetite. It's ze best.

We use to get dominos pizza. Then mum started getting joes pizza. Yeah the toppings are nicer but they hardly have any tomato paste on them. They have as much on the whole as dominos would on one piece. That isn't an over exgeration ever.

I have to say I am dissapointed in Gatti's. It is clear their crust is frozen. My family and I like to go out to CiCi's, a buffet like Gatti's but with more pizza than salad bar or other stuff. I know CiCi's is in Texas and Colorado but I don't know where else. They make their dough fresh which is really important for good pizza place.

But I have an advantage over any other pizza restaurant as my mom's specialty dish is pizza. She makes her dough from scratch, her own sauce, cooks it on a pizza stone in the oven. And I will say that I have never had any pizza that comes close to topping it. And I'm saying that regardless of the motherly position she has with me. Everyone we've had for company who's had the pizza says the same thing.

As for toppings, my favorite hands down is ham and pinapple. Just can't beat that. But I also like peperroni, sausage, sometime veggies. The only toppings I don't like are anchovies, olives, jalapenos (yes we do those here in El Paso) ore any other spicy peppers. Something my parents and I have recently discovered that makes a really good pizza is peperroni, ham, and pinapple. Good stuff.

Be watching for the release of my spiritual warfare novel under a new title: "Call to Arms" by OakTara Publishing. A sequel (title TBD) will shortly follow.

The world is split in 2. The pineapple on pizza haters and the pineapple of pizza lovers. No one is inbetween(from what i have gathered). I am on the hate side.

We have a Gatti's here in town (although ours is called "Mr. Gattis"...wonder if that might be a different chain). And we also have a CiCi's Pizza about 30 minutes south of us...and you are absolutely right, CiCi's is definitely superior. Better quality and selection, although Gattis has a Galaga machine, which means it's likely going to get my business. ;))

What? No love for the pepperoni and jalapeno pizza here? :P

CiCi's pizza is great too!

I'd rather the crust be frozen before then not FencerforJesus. Imagine the mold that would be on it if it wasn't :-

I started getting Gattis pizza a few months ago, and I'm fine. No food poisoning ;)

My family doesn't eat any diary except for butter, so when we make our own pizzas we do an imitation type of cheese which is also fairly good.

I'm curious but why doesn't your family eat any diary besides butter? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I can't help wondering how you get your calcium. ;)) I don't like butter but I'm very attached to milk. We use margarine instead of butter but I don't use that much.

I'm not sure how frozen peppers would do, even if they are thawed out by the time the pizza is cooked.

We almost always put frozen veggies on our pizza before we bake it. They thaw and heat while it bakes. The only problem is if they have too much frost on them the pizza gets a little soggy. I put fresh broccoli and cauliflower on once and the didn't really cook they just browned a little and stayed raw in texture. (I'm not crazy about raw broccoli and cauliflower)

Thick crust / Pan pizza beats thin crust any day.

I found my worst pizza topping. I was looking up what was on the spaghetti pizza I had had (spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, meatballs, mushrooms, onions, and oregano) and saw a BLT pizza (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo). I think Shadowlander would agree with me that mayo is the worst topping for pizza. I hope they add the lettuce after the pizza is baked otherwise that would be gross.

I think I actually tried some pizza with tuna on it when I was in Germany.

I don't mind at all. :) To make a long story short, because of health related reasons- such as the asthma that my brother had, over ten years ago we changed our eating. We didn't "go on a diet" but actually changed our eating lifestyle, which included leaving behind meat, sugar, white flour, wheat, diary (ideally, even butter, but we have chosen organic butter and use it, in addition to olive oil), and many other things. It also included eating a lot more raw, organic, veggies, spelt and kamut flour (my dad makes his pizza crusts out of kamut flour, as well as bread and buns), and more fruit. Since going off milk, my brother's asthma has indeed cleared up. :) To get calcium? One cup of raw broccoli will give us enough calcium as one glass of milk- and the calcium in broccoli is ultimately better because it's raw, uncooked. The nutrients are alive. With the kind of milk that is bought in stores, it's pasteurized, which has, in effect, cooked the nutrients, and any good calcium in it has been destroyed or negatively changed by the heating up process. :) So, to get calcium, we eat lots of raw broccoli and cauliflower (both of which, I must admit, I really quite like), and we also eat unsalted/cooked/etc organic almonds, and because we eat a large quantity of raw veggies, we get more than we need of calcium through that. :) Anyway. :)

I must say, I've got to try spaghetti pizza soon! :) It sounds good- do you know if you precook the spaghetti before you put it on the pizza? (I would guess so). Mayo on pizza, wow... and I agree about the lettuce. ;)

They make pizza without tomato sauce!!! That's a sin!!! No offense to people who prefer it without tomato sauce, but I love tomato sauce.

favorite- cheese
worst- mushrooms or anchovies

I had this really awesome pizza once, we ordered cheese but the orders got mixed up so we got something else (it was like beef or hotdog or bacon)- we atre it anyway and it was really delicious.
Edit*- ^spagetti pizza? now I'll have to try that.

That's interesting about the milk / asthma relationship. I didn't remember that broccoli has calcium. It sure has a lot of good stuff in it.

I must say, I've got to try spaghetti pizza soon! :) It sounds good- do you know if you precook the spaghetti before you put it on the pizza? (I would guess so).

I would assume you would have to cook the noodles before putting it on the crust. Otherwise there would need to be a lot of liquid which would make the crust soggy. The meatballs would need to be precooked too.

By the way, nice Nancy Drew avatar. ;)
