The only topping that I like is pepperoni. I will try anchovy some time. I love anchovy.
I think tomato on top will make pizza too watery.
Getting hungry

I have a dehydrator now, and all my plants are going strong but haven't fruited yet, I'm expecting hundreds of pounds, so with your suggestion, I bet dehydrated would work great.
Or maybe roasted first. Got me thinking.....

Pita Pocket split in two and toasted well.
Rub/drizzle EVOO to taste.
My half gets sardine or anchovy oil only.
Cherry maters cut thin on top.
Fresh Basils cut thin.
Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella cut thin.
All this on the Pita pocket interior,original crust down.
Baked in toaster oven until cheese bubbles.

That sounds so easy and tasty and just the right size!

Marsha,
I think half dehydrated tomato slices should work fine as pizza topping.
Pizza gets done in a short time ( ~20 minutes ?) so there is not enough time for fresh raw vegetables to cook properly. That is why I don't like any vegetable topping. Maybe canned mushroom.
To each her/his own.

This just goes to prove a good chef or cook doesn't have to like or eat the food they serve other people.

I like to buy dehydrated tomatoes and re-hydrate them to about half way.

Chef, I wasn't going to say anything but now that you have... CAT FOOD ON PIZZA???????

I use a pizza topping recipe for roasted eggplant and cherry tomatoes that has become a favorite, but you could probably eliminate the eggplant.

Basically you cut, salt, drain and rinse the eggplant then toss with oil and roast under the broiler for about 6 minutes, stirring after three. In the meantime you halve cherry tomatoes and toss them with minced garlic. The tomatoes then get tossed with the eggplant and it goes back under the broiler for about three minutes.

This pizza uses fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of Romano cheese over the eggplant/tomato mixture (no sauce). If I were doing it without the eggplant, I'd probably toss some fresh basil over the pizza after it came out of the oven.

I don't make pizza but have someone buy it for me at several local places.

Different tomato sauces, some better thanothers, and different toppings to chose from as well/

I NEVER want to see anchovies as a topping, they look like little skeletons to me.

What I want is sausage, green peppers and mushrooms.

For me, Bell pepper, black olives, mushrooms and I won't refuse extra cheese... Or extra sauce...

Growing up the only pizza I ever saw was the frozen ones.
Then about the time I was maybe 12 or something our church went on what we called a singing were groups of folks go to other churches and sang.
There were duets and quartets and so on.
To me is was very boring, I just wanted to go home and be with my dogs and cats.
But after one of these events we all stopped at a Pizza Hut.
It was very disappointing because they didn't have T Bone Steak or hamburgars.
They ordered the pizza and I burned the roof of my mouth out with hot cheese I couldn't get off.

Then there is the whole argument on what is going on the pizza that takes place.
I hate this kind of stuff and it ruins my dinning experience.
Then the Pizza pigs that seem to always be on hand.
I eat slowly and if I have to share with pizza pigs I end up with nothing.
Did I mention the dreaded buffet pizza places, gag me with a spoon, yuck.

There are two places in Austin I like one is called Rounders and the other is the Austin Pizza garden.
Why I like them is because they serve killer hand made Stromboli and/or Calzone.

When we were moving from one foreign Army base to another we were enslaved to the US government "commissary".The closet thing at that time(when they had it, very rare) was a Chef Boy R Dee box that had all the fixins for one pizza.It was a real treat for us at the time.We had to substitute salamis for the pepperonis since that did not come in the package.Pizza has come a long way,imagine here in Fl.shrimp,lobster and of all things pineapple!Then at one outlet you can get a pizza sized chocolate chip cookie as desert withyour pie.

To me a good pizza is one with soppressata sweet Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese.
The last time I had one was some time ago I made it myself.
I remember the look on the guys face at the meat market when I told him I wanted the whole thing of soppressata I think it was like 2 feet long.

Does anyone ever make (or wish to admit to) making little English muffin pizzas? I'll confess only if someone else does. Oh wait, I just did. Oops.
