What is a good way to top a homemade pizza?

Question

We just made a homemade pizza the other day and topped it with pizza sauce, sausage, pepperoni, green olives, and cheese. We want to come up with some new good topping ideas.

Answer 1

the only way I like pizza is Tomato sauce, pepperoni' mushoom green peppers and cheese.

Answer 2

Buy a jar of good Organic Passata, which is basically a simple Italian plain tomato sauce made by crushing and sieving tomatoes. Shallow fry some finely chopped Onion, Garlic and grated Ginger. Add the Passata, to it, and then some freshly chopped Basil, Oregano, and Thyme (dried or Freeze dried will also do - Barts do a good selection of Freeze Dried and dried herbs). Add some Salt and Pepper, and a pinch of Paprika, maybe Chilli if they like that, and just a pinch of Nutmeg. Then add a teaspoon of Sugar to take away some of the natural acidity of Tomatoes, and you're basically done. Alternatively, if you want to do it the really easy way, most supermarkets now sell fresh pasta sauces, that are really excellent also as pizza sauces for homemade pizza - which I often do. Some of my favourites are plain old Napoli tomato sauce, Arrabiatta, Amatriciana, and even Bolognese sauce with the minced beef in it is actually really tasty as a pizza sauce, with cheese and pepperoni and mushroom, etc. on the top. Mmmmm.....

Answer 3

Mix some barbecue sauce in with the pizza sauce.

Top with cooked, diced chicken, diced red and green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives and cheese (especially Parmesan, mozzarella, provolone or an Italian cheese blend).

Also, ham, pineapple and mozzarella toppings make a delicious pizza.

When I was in college, there was a place that served Apple Butter pizza. On a cooked pizza crust (Boboli works very well for this), spread a thin layer of peanut butter, then a layer of apple butter. Top with mozzerella cheese and broil to melt and brown the cheese. Everyone I know either loved it or hated it - no inbetween.

Answer 5

Sautee some onions in butter and sugar until they golden. Feta cheese and chopped greek olives are soo yummy.. I have even done this with bits of pepper jack cheese. Those ar good for a gourmet style pizza.

I have also done anchovies... I guess that is a matter of taste.
I love black olives, peperoni, and pineapple together...

I have heard of chicken bbq pizza, .... tasted it once and it was alright...

Answer 6

You could top it off with onions, pineapple, ham, bacon, garlic, mushrooms, black olives, chicken, anchovies, spicy sausage, fire roasted peppers, barbeque chicken, broccoli, spinach, egg plant, beef, artichokes, sour cream, sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus, shrimp, crab, lobster, fish, hot pepper sauce, pepper flakes, sliced tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh herbs, smoked salmon & etc. etc.

You should also try dipping your homemade pizza in dipping sauces. You could also come up with your own signature topping combination. You could basically put anything that you like on your pizza, guarenteed it`ll taste delicious :)

Answer 7

Feta cheese, pear and walnuts,ground black pepper. I don't add any other ingredients, as the flavors start to fight against each other for attention. I also love Mozzarella, roast beef, French mustard, plum tomatoes. I cover the slices of roast beef with the mustard, roll it and cut into about 2" pieces, slice /dice the tomatoes add the cheese,add a little black pepper before serving and voila. I need to go scavenge for food now, i've made myself hungry lol.

Answer 8

Get some deli ham meat, thinly sliced and cut into small pieces. Add some pineapple chunks and sprinkle cheese on top of it all. After you bake it, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the pizza. It's so delicious!

Any type of sausage or cured meat will work well. Be sure to include fresh veggies to complement the meat.
