What should I put on my pizza?

I made a double batch of pizza dough on Sunday, and it will be ready to bake tonight. I can make 6-8 small pies, and I will certainly make a couple of pepperoni and caramelized onions, but does anyone have any suggestions for the rest?

Canadian Bacon and Feta Cheese. Best combination in my mind.

Still make the pizza like normal with the standard cheese, but then put the ham on it and crumble feta on it (not too much, just enough to get a crumble in each bite).

Pineapple is the only must have pizza topping for me. Actually, it's a must have at sub shops and pita shops too. Onion, ground beef, mushroom and pineapple is usually my starting point and anything else is a bonus.

Get some buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil. If you can, get some good Roma tomatoes to crush into sauce with a little minced garlic and shallots.

Sausage, Jalapeno, Red Bell, Red Onion.

black olives, yo

Actually that brings up a good question. @hawkinson76 are you making your own sauce? I wouldn't expect someone to make the dough and not the sauce unless they have already found the perfect pizza sauce. I already make my own spaghetti sauce, but haven't adapted it yet for pizza. Did you find a good pizza sauce? If so, what is it? Every sauce I have bought and tried have sucked.

Ham and Pineapple always. Barbeque chicken where a little barbeque sauce is drizzled underneath the cheese is cool too.

Chicken and Mushroom! DONE!

Cheese. I think you should put cheese on your pizza.

More pizza.

But what do you put on that pizza?

Thinly sliced fennel bulb is an excellent pizza topping.

green peppers, pepperoni and Victoria Taylor's chipotle flakes

Peanut sauce as the base, chicken, spring onions, mozzerella. Done!

Progressively smaller pizzas until you reach the point where you can no longer create a smaller pizza.

As Stephen Hawking almost certainly never said, "Pizza all the way down".

You mean like this?

This... So I can eat it.

Not enough uncanny-valley-of-horror Nanako. Won't going to stop me from putting it on repeat for the rest of the workday, though.

Marinated carne asada, sauteed onions and bell peppers, cotija cheese, salsa verde, cilantro

What's with mexican cooking and cilantro? There's always more cilantro than the mass of the rest of the dish.

"Oreo cookies and gumballs, my favorite!"

OMG THIS.

Fresh buffalo mozzarella is the best.

@Ravenlight: I have no idea, but man do I love me some cilantro.

Quarters.

How has this not been posted yet?!

Hot sauce

mushrooms and pineapples, guys. mushrooms and pineapples.

Make one a Supreme. Because supreme is the best pizza. It's right there in the name. Come on.

If it don't have pineapple, it's a wasted pizza.

Also, with 6-8 pies, experiment. Maybe an all-fruit pizza?

I'd also like to add that Genoa salami, cured sausage, and pickled hot peppers make an excellent compliment to buffalo mozzarella if you want more than a straight pizza margherita . And some chili oil to dip the crust in!

Goat cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon

What about cross-dressing-whatever-the-hell-this-is:

@TyCobb: I make a very simple marinara sauce using whole canned tomatoes, but is otherwise raw. I'm usually very light with the sauce, so the thin consistency isn't a problem, for me pizza is all about the crust (crispy on the bottom, almost raw on top) and a few simple toppings with bold flavors. My kids prefer thick sauce and lots of cheese, and I may make a separate sauce for them using a small can of tomato sauce or paste.

Feta cheese sounds interesting, but I don't know how it would react to a 500 degree oven, maybe it would be better scattered on top after it is out? And the ground beef recommendation reminds me that I still have carnitas left over from the weekend (I love making street tocos at home).

Pepperoni, ground beef, pineapple. That's my go to at this pizza place near me and it's so so good.

Prefer the simple pizza where it's either sausage & jalapeno or Canadian bacon & pineapple. No sense in making it more complicated than it needs to be.

@Jams: Beat me to it. Damn you.

pepperoni and MORE PROCESSED MEATZ

I'm surprised by the number of votes for pineapple. I'll eat it on mediocre delivery pizza because it will be one of the only toppings that isn't rubbery, but I haven't had an excellent pizza that uses it.

That's my Silent Hill/Clocktower/Amnesia all rolled into one.

Put it on the pizza.

@CH3BURASHKA: I do have some cream cheese icing left from the last batch of cinnamon rolls, I was thinking of making some sticks for dipping, but maybe sauteed apple pizza with an icing drizzle? even with half a dozen pizzas, I'd hate to lose one to an experiment.

@hawkinson76: The feta doesn't melt and gets nicely browned. What you can do is wait and quickly crumble it on half way through to the process. I have never had issues ordering it from local pizza shops so I imagine it is either fine in the oven at the beginning or put on sometime during the baking process.

Good luck on your pizza journey. Post pics of what you make; I would love to see how everything turned out.

Chicken and hot sauce.

This is by far the weirdest pizza combination I've tried but it's damn good; pepperoni, onion, ham and cheese. Once it's done baking, mix in a bowl ranch dressing and BBQ sauce and use that as a dipping sauce.
