Have you ever stopped and thought about just how many different pizza toppings people put on a pizza pie? It’s really incredible if you stop and think about it.
The interesting thing about pizza toppings is that what is considered to be the most common toppings change from country to country.
Favourite Pizza Toppings Around The World
For instance, the most favourite pizza topping of Americans is pepperoni. In Japan the most favorite topping is squid. In Brazil it’s green peas. Now that’s one way to make sure you eat your vegetables. Russian’s prefer something called mockba, which is a sort of fish medley.
In the Netherlands folks live a double dose of everything – double cheese, double onions and double beef, and in Melbourne the preferred pizza toppings are shrimp and pineapple.
The reality is that people will turn just about anything into a topping for pizza. People are constantly coming up with new pizza toppings. Check out some of these pizza toppings from around the world.
- Broccoli
Peanut Butter- Philly Cheese steak
- Clams
- Crickets
- BBQ Chicken
- Pickled Ginger
- Minced Mutton
- Eel

- Cheese
Ok, cheese is a pretty well-known topping, but did you know that mozzarella cheese accounts for approximately 30% of the total cheese output in the world? The bulk of that mozzarella winds up on the top of pizzas all over the world.
The thing about pizza toppings is that there’s really no wrong topping. If you like a certain food, and you’ll eat it when it sits atop a pizza pie, then that’s a pizza topping. It’s a simple as that. At Melbourne Pizza Delivery, we will try anything on top of a pizza, there are no rules!

Hmm, ‘peas’ and ‘coconut’. We truly are only limited by the imagination.

I think that the Dutch do it best – “double dutch”. That seems like taking the statement “you can never have too much of a good thing” to a whole new level.

It reminds me of the guy in Venezuela who sells 860 different flavors of icecream. His house special is “pabellon criollo” – a traditional Venezuelan meal of beef, rice, plantain, cheese and black beans, I think I would rather have it on a pizza than in an icecream.

I don’t know. There is something wrong with hot Pineapple
Your making it up as you go along! If to define anything Russians prefer to put on their pizzas, it would be chicken, or corn or (yuck!) mayo!
MOCKBA, by the way is how Moscow is written in cyrillic letters
BBQ Chicken, Baby Spinach, Black Olives…is a yummy combo.
“Hold the hot Pineapple, please!”
