Sausage is my favorite pizza topping.
 
I always start with plain cheese. Toppings can be a distraction for awful pizza and as a New Yorker who has had the blessing of living in Brooklyn for most of her life, and later on having half my in-laws being Italian, I know what's up when it comes to really good pizza and I know exactly what to look out for. And from what my husband told me I've apparently impressed my in-laws..

And regarding pizza, I am an unapologetic snob about it.. (I'm still polite though.. I won't criticize but I wont return either..) I don't eat pizza outside of NY if I can help it, and if I do (like if I am on vacation) then it is chain only (like Dominos, Pizza Hut, or Marcos (esp. down South) or recommendations from older relatives who lives there.

When I moved up here, my brother swore up and down that he knew the best pizza up here and although it was pretty good from the places he took me to or got pizza from over the years, I completely changed his mind, my SIL and their kids when they had a slice from the place near my house.. he said if the kids like it, then he knows it is good.. so now when they want good pizza, they come all the way over by my house for the pizza. LOL

…I can’t imagine how scary it must have felt to have cooked pizza for Italian in law, eeeek….well done, though…you’ve not only lived to tell he tale but they keep coming back for more…and more…that’s sensational…
 
I didn't cook the pizza.. lol I just recommended the place up the block from my old apt, while they were helping us to pack up our stuff and they loved it.. and yeah, these people really know their shit when it comes to pizza though..

And it was because my FIL insisted on us taking 2 personal pies with us on the drive back up north with our second truck, that helped me pick out a really good pizza place up here when we got here.. I don't normally eat pizza on the road as it has both wheat and dairy, but I didn't want it to go bad either since it literally came from Totonno's, which is literally one of the oldest pizzerias in NY, let alone the U.S.


So after we ate it on the drive back up, we noted everything that we loved about it while it was still fresh in our minds and we used that to pick the pizza place near us when we unpacked the truck the next day. The fact that the place up here sold pizza by the slice, like the ones in Brooklyn was one of the first things we noticed, and after trying both a regular cheese and a pepperoni slice, we knew that had exactly what we were looking for. Bonus points for the fact that they have a brick oven that they actually make their pies in.. as opposed to places near my Mom's house in Long Island, where they brag and advertise the fact that they have a brick oven, but then used it to hold pizza boxes and other stuff.. and worse still, the oven they actually baked their pies in was gas..
 
I got to go with the good old pepperoni. It is not only a great choice, but also one that I have never had a pizza place try something strange with.
 
Maybe we should vote on best pizza dough since that's the most important part...I mean if the crust isn't good it really doesn't matter what we top it with...
 
I like supreme on thin crust. If I can't have that, then my second choice is often canadian bacon and mushroom on thin crust.
