Top 10 Favorite Pizza Toppings Include Some Healthy Surprises
Pizza lovers will be excited to know, that in a recent study, pepperoni is still the most requested topping. But, other healthy toppings are working their way into the Top 10 favorites.
Huffington Post reports a Foodler study of thousands of restaurants found another interesting pizza fact. Of all the pizzas ordered, 37% are plain cheese. That's fine for children, but for many it's not a pizza without a lot of toppings
For people who like real toppings on their pizzas, here are the top ten things pizza lovers order on their pie.
- Pepperoni
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Sausage
- Bacon
- Extra Cheese
- Black Olives
- Green peppers
- Pineapple
- Spinach
The healthier toppings including spinach, pineapple, and green peppers are still at the bottom of the list, but it's a trend that is both surprising and encouraging. Interesting too, is mushrooms and onions are second only to pepperoni as favorite toppings.
For pizza lovers, the varied toppings lend me to think pizza has become a complete meal. All the basic food groups are simply included as a topping so no sides are necessary.
Notably missing from the list are the infamous anchovies. A lot of people talk about this topping, but few actually order it.
