53. You're doing it all wrong.

As you know, pineapple and bacon are not pizza toppings, no matter how many people eat them. There are enough emergency room x-rays floating around for you to know very well that people sometimes use things in the wrong way; just because someone else did it doesn't make it ok. HOWEVER, who ever gave you the idea that spinach and artichoke hearts aren't pizza toppings? I think they're both classic. I've also heard the term "white pizza" to mean just an olive oil or oil-based sauce base. I don't know if alfredo sauce counts or not; I'll have to talk to the other board members about that.

These other things you mention are simply no more related to pizza than is sweet and sour chicken or a roasted goat. I don't know what you're doing there. (except for roasted garlic and broccoli, which is fine)

Vegetables scream when you cut them. Seriously. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #51

Well, you had me up until the sausage part. The first five make a great pizza! HopeHoops Oct 2012 #50

I can have it either way. I do like the sausage though. geardaddy Oct 2012 #52

From your selections, I'm guessing you're a vegetarian, yet ... surrealAmerican Oct 2012 #58

There are only ten options. Yes, I'm a vegehegian, but I am seriously creative in my toppings. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #65

Why is it that mushrooms always win when I post this poll? HopeHoops Oct 2012 #64

NO SPINACH!? Neoma Oct 2012 #66

You have to scroll down. Spinach, mushroom, and artichoke is one of my favorites. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #68

Hawaiian. ellisonz Oct 2012 #67

Replace the bacon with Morning Star Farms breakfast strips and I'm good on that one. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #69

Nobody votes for sausage ThoughtCriminal Oct 2012 #70

Sausage is everything you can't use for anything else. Scrapple is what you can't use for sausage. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #72

Yep ThoughtCriminal Oct 2012 #79

"toenail fungus"? I've never seen that on the menu. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #80

Sausage is the best meat on a pizza. geardaddy Oct 2012 #89

banana peppers. Good stuff on pizza Flaxbee Oct 2012 #71

We get pepperoncini (sp?) in a jar for that. Banana peppers are too mild. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #73

Okay, okay, there ARE peppers that are too hot... HopeHoops Oct 2012 #74

None sakabatou Oct 2012 #75

Heathen. At least use Tabasco. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #77

Tobasco doesn't stick to the pizza sakabatou Oct 2012 #81

It does too. I do egg and cheese tortilla wraps with Tabasco - sticks there too. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #82

Fine, I'll try it sakabatou Oct 2012 #84

Usually the original, but I like the green as well (milder, but still good). HopeHoops Oct 2012 #87

SUPREME. nt Lisa0825 Oct 2012 #76

Supreme implies meat. I'll go with the Vegi-meister sort. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #78

I also like Veggie Supreme. Depends on my mood :-) nt Lisa0825 Oct 2012 #97

Lots of meat, and NO mushrooms. Can't stand 'em. Rochester Oct 2012 #88

Mushrooms rock. I don't do meat anymore. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #90

All the more meat for me then, and all the more mushrooms for you :) Rochester Oct 2012 #93

Sounds like a win-win!!! HopeHoops Oct 2012 #94

Feta, Garlic CreekDog Oct 2012 #100

Oh, no. Feta, garlic, spinach and black olive. You need to fill it out. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #105

I can't say that I really hate pizza, but I don't much care for it and rarely eat it. Arkansas Granny Oct 2012 #102

You need to find a New York style pizza joint (with draft beer). HopeHoops Oct 2012 #106

Asparagus - parboiled and then cooked thru while on top of pizza. aikoaiko Oct 2012 #104

I've done that. Our asparagus patch is quite prolific. It makes good pizza. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #107
