Mamma mia what is your favourite pizza? (lemmy.world)

So I'm having a pizza craze so I'd thought I'd ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.

For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it's too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I'm not a huge fan.

Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.

Toppings - It's either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.

Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I'd have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.

Cheese layer - Don't really care, just don't make it cheap wax

Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons "Market" range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.

Frozen? It's either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands "NY" range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.

Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.

So what are your preferences in these categories?

When I do my own, I'll give the dough a long cold ferment (I've done sourdough and preferment versions of a recipe I like, it's pretty simple just adds some olive oil, Flour Water Salt Yeast has a really decent recipe as well) and stretch it thin.

Sweet + savoury is a favourite of mine, one of the best was

heavy herbed olive oil as the base, light
caramelised shallots
goat cheese
prosciutto
balsamic vinegar (good stuff preferred, but works with the thinner stuff) Did this with figs too, but you don't need it. As hot as you can go, had good results doing in one of my flatter bottom dutch ovens before.

Yeah I like Hawaiian, but it's way better with peameal bacon or streaky bacon than ham, even better with pickled jalapeños or some other hot pepper

The classic one that my partner and I had when we where dating was

green olive
bacon The place is closed down now, but it had a really thin, almost Italian style crust, to me that's a classic pizza.

Don't eat a lot of frozen, it's good to have on hand like frozen dumplings as a quick thing, honestly as much as loblaw's sucks (Canadian grocery chain) their brand (President's Choice) makes some really nice pizzas, or Dr Oetker.

Tend to order takeout from local places over chains
