If you’re looking for the perfect excuse NOT to cook tonight, I’ve got you covered: today (9/20/22) is National Pepperoni Pizza Day!
A new poll asked pizza lovers about 30 different toppings, and whether or not they belong on a pizza. Pepperoni received the most “yes” votes of all the toppings, but it wasn’t unanimous — 7% of people voted NO?!?!
The other toppings that at least two-thirds of people say DO belong on pizza include:
- mushrooms
- garlic
- onions
- bacon
- chicken
- sausage
- green peppers
- ham
- roasted red peppers
- pesto
The pizza toppings that only about HALF of people are cool with are:
- spinach
- tomato slices
- black olives
- jalapenos
- pineapple (42% said no to pineapple)
- sun-dried tomato
- ground beef
- banana peppers
- barbecue sauce
- ranch dressing
- artichokes
- broccoli
The pizza toppings that at least two-thirds of people said do NOT belong on pizza are:
- fried eggs
- asparagus
- zucchini
- eggplant
- anchovies
- shrimp
- corn
(There’s a full breakdown, here.)
