coan.net: hold the anchovies!!! they taste like fish armpits!!

fish dont have armpits....

Ownercase: But they have finpits!

coan.net: Some quite obvious choices are missing. Salami, tuna, fresh garlic and my favourite jalapenos.. And of course i understand that listing all possibilities is quite impossible :)

puupia: Oh yes, jalapeños, I knew I was missing something essential there…

But salami is there, isn't it? As pepperoni. :)

Pedro Martínez: Yeah pepperoni is there. But its only a kind of salami, and not really my favorite kind..

And then in the meat section chicken is not listed. In most pizza places in Finland you can get chicken in your pizza easily, but turkey is more uncommon. I guess this might be the case elsewhere also.

Also sausage in the list is something that most europeans don't really know what it is. I'm quite sure coan.net means the american kind of sausage with that one. And that stuff its not really sausage at all :P

puupia: I think that when you look at the selection of toppings, it is clear that it is the American pizza what should be considered here. You can hardly get any other salami than pepperoni in the U.S., while here in Europe it is quite common to use quite a variety of salamis. Also the cheeses listed in the poll are rarely used in continental Europe (except for mozzarella, of course). We don't use provolone, cheddar, or Colby (which is actually a cheddar too). Instead, edam is very popular, as well as a number of blue-veined chesses. Then the bacon – the European bacon is not the same as the American one. And so on and so forth. You're right about the chicken, turkey, and I would also add beef. To sum it up, American pizza is simply different from European pizza. And I have different favorite toppings for each of them. :)

Pedro Martínez: Yeah, you are right as usual :) I've lived in US a bit and the pizza experience there is completely different from the european one.

I also like blue cheese in my pizza a lot.. Salami, pineapple, japeños and blue cheese pizza and i'm in heaven :)

puupia: Pineapple and bleu cheese together? You're a gourmet! :))

How about a pizza with smoked reindeer, chanterelles, crowberries and emmenthaler cheese? Not the most usual toppings. I had one like that a while a go and it was awesome!

puupia: I cannot even imagine how that would taste. Reindeer and crowberries are completely unknown to me, chanterelles I haven't had since forever ago and emmentaler is indeed quite unusual to be used as a pizza topping. I guess you can only get something like that In Finland or other Nordic countries, people are crazy enough there to prepare such a pizza…

Pedro Martínez: theres also road kill pizza...most are pre shaped!! lol

Bwild:

puupia: Jalapenoes was *almost* on the list. I actually spent about an hour doing internet searches on what the most "popular" toppings of pizza were - and like I mentioned, I probable had over 100 toppings at first... but tried to take off those that seemed a little less popular (leaving Almonds and Pecans on the list because I've never seen nuts on a pizza and thought it might be interesting if either of those got votes.)

But since I have to type in each answer - submit - then as more answers are added scroll down to add another answer, I tried to keep the list as short as possible while still trying to get the most popular.

So speaking on nuts on pizza - anyone ever see that and or try that? I'm not too big of a nut eater but for some reason it sounds like it might be kind of good on a pizza

coan.net: Nuts on pizza – that sounds to me almost as awkward as carrot on pizza…

Pedro Martínez: I thought carrot's sounded better then corn... but corn has more votes then carrots..

coan.net: I have had corn on my pizza, and it was not bad at all, but carrot… hmmm, I don't know, something just doesn't seem right with that… lol
