There aren’t too many people that would turn their nose up at a pizza. That’s because pizza can be prepared in a thousand different ways.
As such, pizza can take on a thousand different flavours; and almost all of those flavours are all in the toppings. Due to the diversity of pizza flavours, no matter what makes your taste buds dance, there is bound to be a pizza that’s right for just about everyone.
The Flavour Is All In The Topping
The topping is what really makes a pizza so delicious. Let’s face it, cheese matters and so does sauce, but the real meat of a pizza, the thing that brings it to life, is the pizza topping. It’s the topping that has that magical ability to change the entire pizza flavour completely.
Toss on some anchovies and you’ve got a unique specific flavor. Exchange the anchovies for broccoli and the flavor changes instantly. Garlic awakens certain taste buds and crushed red pepper sets them on fire. This is what makes pizza such a universal food.
Pizza is eaten all over the world, and each group of people tops it with their own special items. In Japan the favored topping is squid. In India, it’s curry. Brazilians like green peas, and Americans prefer pepperoni. Even the well-off people eat pizza, albeit with toppings most people in Melbourne wouldn’t dream of.
Escargot, fresh lobster marinated in aged cognac, truffles, you name it, pizza toppings can be anything from exuberant and lavish to basic and common, with each of them giving your taste buds their own special party.

Hy guys,
there are so many flavours of pizza, it’s hard to decide which one to take.
My current favorite is roasted pumpkin, pine nuts and ruccola. Give it a try

The flavour is in the pizza topping, but don’t discount the base – I’ve had some shockers! My favourite base is thin and crispy. My favourite topping???? probably smoked salmon with cream cheese and chives – nice!

I don’t know whether its because different pizza ingredients are sourced from produces, however the best pizza that I have ever had its that where the ingredients are sourced locally.
Unfortunately the pizza from the big boys just does not compare to the small local pizza bar’s.
