There is a game being played at Gaming Outpost. You may wish to join in on this thread.

And away we go with the silliness...
============================================

In John Cross' Multiverser game thread Cross Out a New World, John, I mentioned that there was a list of four hundred ninety-seven pizza toppings, and he said he wished he could see that.
Well, I'm wondering how many we can list.
Rules of the Thread:
Number your pizza toppings consecutively, so we can keep count.
List only toppings you have actually seen offered on pizza; you need not have tried them.
Combinations are only valid if they represent a single item. For example, "Ham" and "Pineapple" are both valid toppings, but since "Hawaiian" is just Ham and Pineapple, it does not count. On the other hand, "Ziti" is comprised of ricotta, mozzeralla, sauce, possibly meat, and macaroni, but it is a unique topping because these are combined into one thing and included as one thing.
If someone duplicates a topping, the first person to notice this should post that it was duplicated and correct the count.
I think that's sufficient. I'll start the list with the obvious:
1) Extra (Mozzarella) Cheese
2) Pepperoni
3) Meatball
4) Sweet Sausage
5) Mushroom
6) Beef
7) Pork
8) Peppers
9) Anchovies
10) Tomatoes
11) Brocolli
12) Shrimp Scampi
13) Ziti
14) Bacon
15) Ham
16) Pineapple
17) Hot Peppers
18) Sweet Peppers
19) Hot Sausage
20) Crabmeat
That seems a good start to me. What else?

27) Sun-dried tomatos
28) Black olives
29) Green olives
30) Apple slices
31) Avocado
32) Salsa
33) Pesto sauce
34) Lobster (sure, why not?)
35) Clams

Tristan tells me he has seen "cheeseburgers and fries pizza", which means we add:
42) french fried potatoes
43) bread
44) pickles
45) ketchup
46) lettuce
We've already covered beef, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and onions.
He also says
47) grilled chicken, which he says is different from both fried and roasted,
And he reminds me that I've had
48) spinach.
He's going to keep thinking.

I didn't realize we were counting pizza we made ourselves
54) Parmesan Cheese
55) Bologna
56) Bratwurst
57) Dutch loaf (there wasn't any other meat)
58) Does Tabasco sauce count as a topping? As much as I use, it should
EDIT, Scott, you cut me, I had to change all my numbers.
--JohnA1Nut

Counting dessert pizzas
59) Cherry pie filling
60) icing
61) Apple pie filling

I saw a news report about a girl that was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles. She would make any pizza she saw in the cartoon. On the show, she (The girl in the show) used
65) Whipped cream
I don't recall the rest, but I think most of them were mentioned. Are we counting pizzas we've seen on TV, or just in real life?

68) Cream Cheese (pizza I made once)
--JohnA1Nut

69. Blueberry pie filling
70. Chocolate chips
I remember I went to one fancy pizza shoppe in Atlanta during Dragoncon with J, and the pie tasted good enough, as long as you did not think of it as pizza. But I can't really remember the toppings.
I just saw a 'weird pizza' show on TV a few days ago.
They had the inventor of the BBQ chicken pizza on as well as some others.
72. BBQ sauce (in place of tomato sauce)
73. Fresh spinach leaves
74. Canadian bacon

I've bought 'four-cheese
pizza'...what's on it?
Pepperocinos in the corner of Papa John's boxes
Red pepper flakes on the table at Pizza Hut
Creamy garlic dipping sauce??????
75. Gummies
76. Pepperjack cheese (I've occasionally cheesed up a freezer pizza with additional sliced cheese).
--Playtester

your number 73 is a duplicate. MJ already mentioned spinach.
The other thing is that the pizza place my character called probably has 10 different kinds of sausage, 15 different kinds of pepperoni, 12 different kinds of ham, etc. So, that would make our list a bit more difficult.
--A1

cooked spinach and fresh?
--PT

Yeah, if we're counting roasted, fried, and grilled chicken as separate toppings, then 48 and 73 are both legit.
--Wodium

Point Made.

I need to pick up a menu from a local pizza place that has some unusual pies (including the aforementioned Shrimp Scampi pie). I will bet that they have a few that have not yet been mentioned. However, this is not a good week for that, so keep thinking about what you've had on pizza.

And ….Provolone, American Cheese, and Peaches….
