Let's get something clear. Pizza is important.

The only thing second to importance in pizza is the toppings that go on said pizza. And this is where most people tend to fundamentally disagree.


u/NuclearWinterGames asked:

What is the most underrated pizza topping?

Here were some of the answers.


A Little Leaf Makes A Big Difference

This is how my husband orders pizza for me. Not even kidding.

"I'd like a cheese pizza with basil. Extra basil. And then when you think you have enough, reach in and clear out that container. Then head to the storage room, grab all of the basil and add it. When you're done with that, head back to the garden and pull the whole plant. Then go next door and grab any of their basil. When you're done, you're about half way there."

I love him.

Aepples And Banaenaes

Extra Salt

Anchovies get a lot of reflexive "eww, gross" reactions from people who probably have never had a pizza with anchovies, but they're great.

Fungus Yum-gus

Mushrooms, every time I say that mushrooms are my favorite toppings I get a "eww" as I reply but I don't know why. They're so good.

A Little Extra Crunch

Basil? Onions? Chicken? None of these are underrated. 99% of places will have these options. The only guy below with a real underrated one was the potato guy.

A real answer is roast corn. A lot of it too. Cheese, a little onion and pepper and a crap ton of corn.

Spicy But Less Greasy

Salami. The flavor isn't as strong as pepperoni, but still definitely there. More importantly it doesn't curl up and get burnt on the edge with a pool of grease in the middle.

All Parts Of The Cow

I dunno about underrated exactly, but green chili is an excellent topping that's hard to find outside parts of the southwest. Potato is definitely underrated, although tater tots specifically are meh. Most underrated, in my opinion, is cow tongue, which is amazing on a pizza.

Mm Good

Pineapple, apparently. I'm sad for those of you who have never had a good Hawaiian pizza.

For those of us who have... spinach! Saw it on the Pizza Hut web app and decided to try it. I used that, olives, red peppers, and meatballs with the Balsamic drizzle. Called it Pizza Caprese and it was amazing! Got weird looks when I picked it up, but the second time, I told then they should try it sometime.

A Little Bit Of Pasta

Macaroni

Toppers Pizza has a macaroni pizza that's the best damn thing you'll ever have. Especially if you get the buffalo chicken mac and cheese tall boy. Truly superb.

Also, Kwik Trip has surprisingly good food. Their mac pizza is pretty good, just add hot sauce. They also have a bacon mac pizza but it's harder to find.

More Kinds Of Spicy

Sausage. Not that people don't like sausage on pizza, but in Massachusetts out by Cape Cod, where there's a huge Portuguese community, a favored topping for pizzas (not to mention filling for omelets) is chourico, and its less-spicy cousin, linguicia. I don't doubt there're a lot of other local toppings the general public doesn't know about.

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

Blue States Are Taking A Page Out Of Trump's Playbook With Alerts About SNAP Benefits

President Donald Trump and his administration are facing criticism as blue states post alerts about the loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
