What type of toppings do you use for your pizzas and why? Multiple choice.
I buy cheap pizzas and then add my own toppings, cheese veg, bacon, fruit. Always nice
I love a spinach and ricotta cheese pizza. They blend in well together and are very tasty.
Vegan by virtue of food consumption, and quite fussy when it comes to food.
Mushroom going try meatballs liked chicken
That's great to hear. How many times a week do you have pizza?
Always ham & pineapple 😋
cheddar, chopped bacon, barbecue sauce - all for flavour
I also like ham and pineapple
That's okay. It shows how much it's a favorite type of food!
I usually buy Iceland or Chicago town iceland ultra thin are nice
Spinach because it's healthy. I am not sure the rest of the pizza is.
Do you bake the pizza yourself or do you get delivery? Spinach is good for a topping on a pizza.😀👍🌈🍕
Because of all my dietary restrictions, all my gluten-free foods have to be made from scratch.
I used to make my own GF until I started to react to other grains, so now grain free - no flour so no pizza! I chuckled at your healthy spinach - which it is, for some - but it was the first major reaction that I had which showed I had a histamine/mast cell issue so I can't eat that either! Fortunately I love roasted vegetables and can eat a wide range of others and make a great watercress salad with extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing. Happy eating!
Sorry to hear about the spinach causing issues, bookish . It's nice to know that you can do either roasted vegetables and/or watercress salad. Do you have apple gorgonzola salads sometimes, too?
You could make your own with potato starch and cornflour. I do it but it turns out different every time. Always edible though. Gram flour is good too. It’s made from lentils. The gf pizza bases in the pizzerie vary so much. Bx
Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately when I first went GF I found I was eating more corn-based stuff and it made me ill (as does rice). Potato is cross-reactive with corn and I have a sensitivity to both. Corn is a pain because it is in everything from supplements to sticking plaster. I'm using an antiinflammatory autoimmune diet so no nightshades anyway, and lentils and I don't get on - I tried lentil, and pea, pastas and home made bread with gram flour- big mistake! So I don't buy anything ready made or even pre-chopped and don't use any flour. (Once in a blue moon I make a cake with coconut flour and cooked apple which is nice as a treat.) When I was just GF I used to have the Dr Oetker GF mozzarella and it was really rather good. Half the fun of cooking is the happy surprises so I like it when things don't turn out quite the same! It is always a surprise for partner as I love to cook but can't taste what I'm doing!! Cheers x
What about using almond flour to bake pizza/cake/pies?
The autoimmune diet excludes nuts (and seeds) as commonly inflammatory and often being a sensitivity for those with AI conditions. I have reintroduced some nuts and do eat in moderation but only soaked first. And to be honest, it is easier when there is a lot that you can't eat if you change your diet completely. I don't miss pies and seldom miss pizza and cakes. I don't use most fats, don't eat meat, can't do cheese/tomato/mushroom.....you get the idea! Fortunately partner isn't a cake eater so I don't have to have sweet stuff in the house and when he makes (very yummy) bread I get as far away as possible from flour and yeast and usually go in the garden for a few hours to minimise symptoms. I have histamine issues and other things that make it simplest to stick to really fresh, real food, home cooked - no additives, no junk, no leftovers. Lots of veg, some salads, herbs and fruit, eggs, a little fish, some nuts, lots of fresh ginger, organic wherever possible. At one point all I could stomach was chicken broth with cooked carrots so I'm doing well!
Tom, cheese, anchovies Black olives
There you are. Anchovies! I have even tried sardines or herring on it - plus onions and cheese with a touch red spicy red pepper flakes.
Is the herring in wine sauce? I like anchovies and sardines, too, but it depends when we can get them.
I use the herring in tomato sauce or olive oil. Perhaps the strangest topping I have used was one I found in Buenos Aires. No tomato sauce, a layer of bechamel sauce, another layer of [cooked] yellow corn, and a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. I can't understand why, but it works deliciously.
Trying to cut back on cholesterol, but gotta have feta if Asiago isn’t available. Double spinach and pickled yellow pepper rings, veggies. No meat, thin crust. Good with once every two months. Sodium is a killer for me. ❤️🏄♀️
Do you bake the pizza yourself? If you have homemade pizza, it can be low fat/cholesterol/sodium. My mom sometimes cooks homemade pizza for us and then we can add our own toppings and eat a side salad with it. She helps bake mine with gluten free flour/crust.😀👍🌈🍕
You can’t beat homemade pizza, but I usually have it delivered. One day I’ll make one myself.❤️🏄♀️
Both ways are good, but it depends on what you want for a topping. Some of the places don't have everything even if they're listed now and then. I would love to have banana peppers, but we don't have those here right now.
I like mushroom, green pepper, black olives, mozzerella cheese BUT I also like chicken and spinach more of a white sauce.
Can't eat tomatoes, so I try to enjoy pizza with garlic/alfredo/pesto/basil etc. as a base. So, a spinach, garlic thing works for me.
I make my own crust in a bread machine and use non fat veggie toppings on Whole Foods Pizza sauce. Basil, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, diced sweet potato, chopped kale and or green or regular onions. Pretty much anything. I also add spices.
It's a fraction of the calories with out meat and cheese and pretty healthy.
Small to medium in size, with red and green sweet peppers, and sweet corn.
Red onion, mushroom, red/ yellow peppers, chilli,pineapple and chorizo. Mozzarella.
Mushrooms, Mozzarella cheese and Parma ham Enjoy
Thanks now I want pizza...😅🍕 I'm pretty much an any type of pizza fan. Right now craving "The Boss" 4 cheese, sopressata & spinach from our favorite no fuss pizza joint.
Pepperoni, cappicola, mushrooms, ANCHOVIES! Not necessary all at once. I like to vary the combinations
Oh, yeah! Once in a while anchovies!😋
They all sound good for either on their own one at a time or all together.
I like pineapple, cheese on my veggie pizza with peppers and a tick garlic mayonnaise to deep in the crust
Pineapple! What is wrong with people? That is so wrong! 😂
Just mozzarella tomato and basil. The traditional Napolitano pizza.
That’s fantastic! I have pizza now and then. We had done pizza night once a week when I was younger.😀👍🌈🍕
Hello Activity2004
My personal favorite which I make myself is cheese pizza with olives and smoked oysters. Yum yum.
This sounds good. Are the smoked oysters in a can? I love pizza with olives (both types), cheese, pineapple, spinach, banana peppers, red peppers, etc..
Hello Activity2004
Yes the smoked oysters are in a can. I really like smoked oysters, so thought I would try them on pizza, hooked for life. I also like pizza with anchovies, but seem to have fallen out of style and hard to find today. My kids and grandkids all big on pizza, I on the other hand draw the line on having pizza for breakfast and do get burned out on pizza if served more than twice a week.
I don't eat pizza, i'm allergic to cheese ☹️☹️☹️
I like chicken and beef on my pizza garlic sauce and some creamy cheese also i love green peppers on my pizza ☺️ but the meat has to be halal in order for me to eat it ☺️
This all sounds really good for a pizza topping and sauce, Hiba. There are certain things that we don't have on our pizzas unless they are kosher or vegan/vegetarian/fake meat, too.
That’s so cool ☺️
It sure is!😀👍🌈🍕
It really is I wish restaurants would make everything kosher ☺️
There’s a few restaurants that are just kosher kitchens before they are opened. Some don’t do meat and others don’t do dairy products.😀👍🌈🍕
I like chicken 🐓 and Bacon 🥓 mozzarella, pepperoni, chipotle ranch. We get a chicken, bacon and chipotle ranch. It is really a good combination.
Mushrooms, black olives, pepperoni, spinach, chicken
I like non of these toppings as i hate Pizza.......urghhh
I do not eat a lot of pizza but I love them with lots of salad 🥗
Once a month as a treat makes nice change
Cheese and tomato 🍅 don't eat meat. Yummy 😋
I like Meat feast, Peperone, and Four Cheeses.
Hello Activity2004
It is only fitting that alone with pizza topping we like best is worst pizza topping. years ago my then wife fixed a pizza with calf liver on it because she felt I needed some liver in my diet. Divorced her 45 years ago.
Uggh, yuck!!!
I’ve had enough pizzas to last me a lifetime as I lived in Italy for fifteen years. But yesterday I made a gluten-free one and had it with jam and margarine. It was delicious. Like a giant jam butty. Con amore Bx
Great poll Leah, I really fancy pizza but because I am gluten free and vegan I make my own -
Tend to have grated vegan Cheese, Tomato, Basil Pesto and If I am being an animal I may add Marniated Tofu or Vegan Bacon 😁
This sounds really wonderful, Debs.! I will have to see when I can get a few of the peppers and try adding them to the next pizza when it's possible. Thank you for the idea.
Not keen on Pizzas
I like Pizza Jalapenos tear my stomach up any more & I'm not sure about any kind of fish but all the rest is cool!
Do you put black and green olives together on your pizzas or just one or the other?
I. Don’t eat pizza ,
Thank you for saying that about the poll, Hidden . Much appreciated.
Your pizza sounds really good!
What do I like on mine?? Well, there's mushrooms, both black/green olives, spinach, feta cheese, pineapple, chicken, fake other meats, anchovies, sardines, etc.. If we baked our own and had a gluten free crust/flour, then we make them medium-large sized. When we buy them, we just have to bake them in the oven and wait to see how the temps./ingredients do in the heat. The last pizza I had, it was gluten free and had fake meats for a meatlover's pizza. Really good!
Oh pizza oh pizza, I yearn for thee.
Once upon a time, I used to love extra cheese with halal spicy salami. Second favorite is extra cheese, spicy ground beef and pineapple. Gotta have garlic dip on the side as well.
This sounds really great to me for a topping. Yummy!😀👍👍🌈🍕
I like Pepperoni and black olives on mine
Both toppings sound good for a pizza. Do you bake the pizza yourself?
Yeah pizza and I have cheesecake once a month
Have to be careful with what I eat, so no veg/fruit. I have double chicken, double pepperoni and have the garlic on the garlic dough balls.
I actually make my own short cut custom Pizza I start with 2 slices of olive oil brushed, and toasted sprouted whole wheat bread, then top with a semi chili chunky salsa, a sprinkle of Italian dried herb seasoning, and a slice of goat cheese melted on top of each slice of bread. Sometimes I will add leftover sir fry vegetables, and or nitrate/sulfate free turkey bacon pieces that I keep frozen in my freezer. This custom Pizza is as my little nephew would say "Yummy in my tummy"I usually make a soup also with leftover stir fry vegetables, and or stir fry brown rice and then I add some extra firm tofu,, baby kale, and low sodium organic powdered vegetable seasoning. to boiling water. This meal is done in 15 minutes, and made on my meatless Mondays.😀
