Pepperoni/sausage and shrooms
Pineapple, bacon or ham and jalapenos
Puttanesca
White pizza, potato, caramelized onions
Detroit style with any of the wacky topping combos
Descendant Detroit Style Pizza Toronto. Order from Toronto’s best gourmet Detroit style pizzeria for pickup or delivery in Leslieville. . A favorite, but a bit of a schlep so we don’t go often enough.
My absolute favorite is a cheese pizza IF and ONLY IF it is New York style and done really well. Several places in Austin, including Home Slice and Baldinucci’s nail it. Baldinucci’s is about three blocks away. Fortunately it is too expensive to be a frequent item for us. I like sausage on Detroit style. I like pretty well the typical “everything” pizza and a vegetarian with bell peppers, onion, and both green and black olives, mushrooms if they aren’t dry. I will eat pepperoni, but for me a pizza with just pepperoni is only good the moment it comes out of the oven. It doesn’t take long to get sad. My wife likes Canadian bacon and black olives. So I make it fairly often.
I just remembered an excellent Taleggio & radicchio pie at a favorite, now defunct Berlin trattoria. Taleggio makes for a fine pizza cheese, as it plays nicely with my other favorite topping, fresh mushrooms.
Very rich, of course, and best to be shared.
I would be at the front of the queue for that one.
