  • Favorite Pizza Toppings

    A few weeks ago I had a wood fired pizza it was very nice, no tomato or mozzarella, just Prosciutto lightly stewed Pear and Gorgonzola.

    Do you have a favorite topping?

    Re: Favorite Pizza Toppings

    I haven't built my oven yet, but have been making homemade pizza for years. (after reading the wood fired manual I realized I have a lot to learn).

    Anyway our family favorite is our "Seafood Pizza" - made one tonight:

    Homemade Pesto sauce
    Shrimp and imitation crab meat
    Red onions
    Fresh garlic slices
    MozzaCheese and sometime a little Asiago

        Diced tomatoes, Mozzeralla, fresh basil. The original is almost always the best.

          Although I love most anything on pizza; from shrooms to peppers to goat cheese to any pork, beef, or veal product, onions, or a simple drizzle of EVO with a little garlic and "spice concoction".
          I have to side with CS. There is just something special about good fresh tomatoes (San Marzano), fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves I just snipped out back, heck you can't beat those 3 items just on a plate with a good balsamic. MMMMMMMMMMM

            My current favourite is:
            tomato sauce on first, then Anchovy fillets, capsicum & mozarella

            Cheese Kransky is nice instead of anchovies
            Cheers

                  Its so hard to stop at a few. I make my own garlic powder (see my profile) so I always load it up with garlic.

                  I also like onions, 'shrooms and peperoni.

                    doesn't matter the topping if it is not prepared properly. raw mushrooms and bell peppers on the pizza is quick and unsavory . like onions . like some cheese require different baking temperature .
                    just because it is a favorite topping , does not mean it will taste well on any pizza. i can present the most tasty toppings and make the worst pizza .

                      my favorite has been the same for a while now, and simple: olive oil, diced tomatoes, basil and prosciutto. a little mozz on there is good, but not even necessary.

                        I think this is where we need to be once our ovens are up and going, toppings on a 90 second pizza should be simple put tasty, as posted some topping don't have time to cook.
                        I found roasted tomato a lite sprinkle of soft cheese fresh garlic and roasted eggplant a great combo.
                        So what is your great combination, some one must hiding a great secret, lets hear it.

                          I find the traditional margharita (sp?) toppings dashed with olive oil after it is cooked is the best, but I am not too happy with the amount of water from the tomatoes after the pie is cooked. What is a fix for this?

                            I deseed, rinse and pat dry then chop, or for slices I make them as thin as possible and pat dry. Speaking of that, I have started brining all of my fresh vegetables for a couple of hours and that really helps. I do not like excess moisture on my pies (or grease, but that is a different issue).

                              I use canned San Marzanos, run them through the medium blade on my food mill, then through a fine strainer twice. Gets nearly all the water out. The downside - you see just how much water (waste) there is. Each can probably only generates 50% of its original volume.
