I think my favorite combo is Chicken/Bacon with BBQ sauce

While it's not my favorite I also enjoy Hawaiian pizza. Fuck the haters
I was going to agree with you and then you mentioned pineapple D:

I'm easy with most toppings but enjoy the bbq based pizzas from Dominos, Pizza Hut and the like. Also have kind of a soft spot for tuna and sweetcorn depending on my mood. Pretty much anything with plenty of cheese will do me. I'm more fussy about the pizza base, prefer deep pan.

pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, olives and peppers

Anchovies are a close second if I have something to drink

Chicken on pizza (or on pasta for that matter) = pineapple on pizza

Now, if y'all like broccoli, there is a nice combo going on, that's pretty common in Italian-enough pizza joints here in the civilized part of England, so maybe it's also available somewhere else.
It's called salsiccia e friarielli, which is sausage (Italian sausage of course) and a very leafy kind of broccoli (similar to tenderstem broccoli, but more leafy), on a mozzarella base, no tomato sauce.
It's easily GOAT

so ... best toppings then?
I mean seriously: Italian people, with very rare, local exceptions, would never put chicken on pasta or pizza.
We actually find it super weird when we see it used so widely abroad. :upside-down-face:

Best pizza topping, you say?
It's definitely too personal.
Folks from Naples would say that the one true pizza is the margherita (mozzarella + tomato sauce), and I'd agree in a sense that it's the most basic one that all proper pizza places need to get it right.
Personally, I like it more with buffalo mozzarella (which is technically incorrect, but also fucking delicious).

There are plenty of less traditional toppings that I'd recommend, but availability may vary of course.
Salsiccia e friarielli, or salsiccia e patate (sausage and potatoes) are among my favourites, maybe because I've got a mild tomatoes intolerance, who knows.
I wouldn't disdain a pizza with 'nduja (a super spicy pork sausage from Calabria, Southern Italy), something like: tomato, mozzarella (or smoked provola), 'nduja, maybe some spicy salami, why not. This is totally not traditional though, proper folks from Naples would yell at me for this, but fuck them I'm not from Naples I can do whatever I want :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

Ah that's a shame!
But good thing is, proper pizza places are easy enough to find in almost all capitals in the world.
London have plenty for example (even some branches of historic places from Naples that we didn't even have in Rome!), but fuck, you can find a proper pizza in Tokyo these days!


Also I don't care I've got the freezer full of frozen Chicago deep dish with stuffed crust crap :face-with-medical-mask:
