For the most part, we make our own pizzas here at home. My son likes to help, and he generally makes his part of the pizza (which is most of the pizza!) and I make mine with my preferred toppings. We both love onions and mushrooms on our pizza. He likes cooked, crumbled ground beef OR sausage, and pepperoni. My favorite is cooked shredded chicken, it goes great with the mushrooms and onions. He eats his leftover pizza the next day and looks forward to it.
Out of all of my children, he is the one that was never really interested in learning to cook much. He has started to be much more interested in the last couple of years, asking questions, etc. He loves to sit and put the stuff on the pizzas when we make them. I am always glad to see him interested in helping a bit, and enjoy that he feels good enough to help make the pizza.
Tonight's pizza seemed extra tasty. I think I was just hungry!
Picture is mine, we made this pizza on an oblong cookie sheet, so it isn't round. But who cares? It's delicious!

It seems like most men love pepperoni and lots of cheese!

I always use a rectangular pan. Glad he feels like helping. I go with pepperoni, sausage and bacon usually

We don't eat much bacon as the son doesn't really care for it. One of the few things he doesn't like. I have a tendency to like more vegetables and less meat on mine, but I know a lot of people want lots of meat on theirs.

I sometimes have pizza from dominos or pizza hut. The popular toppings are cheese toppings

Our Domino's are barely even edible, in all honesty mostly just disgusting. And we used to have a Pizza Hut on every corner, it seemed. Now we have only one left, and it's miles from here. We do have a lot of pizza places.

The last Pizza Hut pizza I had was chicken sausage, mushrooms, black olives, tomatoes...I think.

We are down to one Pizza Hut, I think. It's just not very popular here, and the one we have left is miles away.

I like the toppings of Hawaian piza. It's topped with pineapple, cheese, tomato sauce and ham or bacon.

I like Hawaiian pizza sometimes, with either Canadian bacon or ham. Different, but tasty.

It certainly looks good! You make me want to do English muffin pizzas, where you halve it, then proceed like usual. I usually like ground beef and sometimes cheddar over mozzarella. I used to eat pepperoni, but I absolutely love mushrooms and onions.

I do make English muffin pizzas sometimes. Then I freeze them and have one now and then for lunch or dinner with a salad, so good!

It looks delicious. I love plenty of cheese and a variety of meats. Also onions, peppers, black olives and mushrooms. I may have left something out.

We tend to get carried away at times with the toppings. Just depends on what all we have here at home.

My Dad absolutely loved anchovies. I do as well. The problem being, I am the only one in my entire family that does like them, so if I get some and try to sneak them on my pizza, everyone complains they are sickening, etc. Eat some for me, please!

Come on over, bring Kitty. I will make you a pizza. You can even take home the leftovers.

I don't honestly know how people eat out all the time. Prices are nuts. I'm glad he is trying to cook, it's so much cheaper and healthier.

That does look yummy! I am a vegetarian and I love toppings loaded with colourful veggies. Onion, mushroom, all three colors of bell papers, olives and I love few small pieces of pineapple here and there. I know that there are many who hate pineapple on their pizza. Olives and pineapple are my favorite.

I like most vegetables on Pizza, especially mushrooms, onions and black olives. Spinach is good with chicken, especially. I prefer the meats that are less greasy.

Veggie lovers is wonderful. I like green peppers a lot on mine, but mine are not ready to pick yet so we didn't put that on the pizza. Pepperoni is my least favorite topping. I have never really cared for it.

I’m not much on pizza, but I prefer veggies. In fact, the way I make pizza when I want it is a “matzah pizza”: a piece of matzah with chunky vegetable spaghetti sauce mixed with regular pizza sauce. Perfect size for one, and thin crust, too!

I personally love vegetable pizza. Sometimes I make my part of the pizza we share with just veggies, but since I was informed I was anemic, I am trying to eat more protein. Some days, that's just hard to do. I have made my own little vegetable pizzas using English Muffins, which I really like.

Like you, I make most of my pizza at home. I like some of the store bought brands and the pizza from restaurants, but there's a certain amount of both pride and comfort when you create your own at home.
I like garbage pizzas. Sausage and pepperoni with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, black olives, spinach and garlic. Anything else handy too. Just no pineapple, please.
I will sometimes use taco seasoning in hamburger crumbles and use refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers and black olives in a modified salsa as pizza sauce. I top with sour cream. I use the same recipe for pizza crusts as I use for bread dough, only I add Italian seasonings, garlic and wash the dough with butter before baking.
I'm hungry for pizza now, lol.
