As for toppings, I'm a meat guy but don't really like pepperonis. Maybe I haven't had good ones, but most of the time I feel like it just makes the pizza unnecessarily greasy
100%
Thick crust, stuffed with cheese preferred, but not needed. Pizza Hut's stuffed crust with the Hut Seasoning or the garlic butter has it on lock, but homemade can be just as good. Not a fan of thin crust and Chicago is way too saucy for me. I want a pizza, not a tomato pie.
Load that bitch up with all the meats. Sausage, Italian sausage, bacon, hamburger, chicken, steak, ham, you name it, I want it. But don't you dare sully that cheese with a greasy mess of pepperoni. Keep that outta here.
Black olives are cool, but of the other veggies I can eat (vitamin k is a no-no), none belong on a pizza.
You got cheese breads? You got garlic knots? You got wings? Cool. I'll take whatever. That shit's just as universal as the pizza itself. It goes with everything and they go great together.
Now I'm fucking hungry for pizza and it's 2am on a weekday, so nothing's open. Fuck.
