Pizza Delivery Facts: America’s Favorite Toppings

When you look at the menu of any pizza delivery place, you’ll see a long list of toppings and specialty pizzas. We all have our favorites and go-to orders, but what toppings are America’s favorites? Well, that depends on who you ask. Different surveys ask different groups of people, so the results aren’t always the same. However, there is some overlap, and certain toppings always make it onto the list of America’s favorite pizza toppings.

 

Do you need some help choosing your next pizza delivery order? You can never go wrong with these top toppings.

 

Top Spot: Pepperoni

Although there are some variations further down the list, pepperoni claims the top spot no matter where you look. Honestly, it’s not a surprise. Pepperoni is savory and spicy and crisps up just so when cooked. It’s the perfect complement to mild and creamy mozzarella and sweet and tangy tomato sauce. If you have pepperoni, you have a great pizza.

 

A Close Second: Sausage

Sausage sometimes gets bumped further down the list, but it usually makes the top five. It’s a common alternative to pepperoni, so it makes sense that it comes in at number two. There are also many variations within sausage, so the type you use can have a big impact on the flavor profile of your pizza.

 

Coming in Third: Mushrooms

Some people really hate mushrooms, but most people like them on their pizza. You don’t often find mushrooms by themselves on a pizza, but they go well with other common toppings like pepperoni, sausage, and other veggies. They add a satisfying earthy flavor to a pizza that gives it sophistication and complexity.

 

Honorable Mentions: Extra Cheese, Bacon, and Onions

Because most pizzas have more than one topping, it’s hard to narrow down America’s favorites to just three. Across the various lists and surveys that collect information about popular pizza toppings, there are a few others that consistently pop up. The highest rated are extra cheese, bacon, and onions. We may no think of extra cheese as a topping, but it’s something we put on a pizza in addition to the basics, so it counts. Bacon is delicious and salty, so of course, people love it on pizza. Onions add a sweet and satisfying addition, and it balances salty and savory toppings.
