Mamma mia what is your favourite pizza? (lemmy.world)

So I'm having a pizza craze so I'd thought I'd ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.

For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it's too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I'm not a huge fan.

Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.

Toppings - It's either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.

Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I'd have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.

Cheese layer - Don't really care, just don't make it cheap wax

Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons "Market" range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.

Frozen? It's either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands "NY" range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.

Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.

So what are your preferences in these categories?

I'm a pretty good cook with a focus on bread making. I've been working on a perfect pizza recipe for years. I always have a frozen pizza dough in case of an emergency :)

My perfect pizza is thin, with mozzarella cheese in the crust, made on a pizza iron cast plate (way better than pizza stone) - I don't have a pizza oven yet.

Ingredients from the bottom - pizza dough, tomato sauce (with basil, oregano and garlic), cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar), red onion, ham, mushrooms, a little bit of cheese, oregano and jalapenos.

As for the store/take out pizza - I will never eat frozen market pizza and most of the global franchises are at best mediocre. I have few local places I like to order pizza from. They are good enough but still I prefer my own pizza.
