Pizza night styles
Which pizza are we actually ordering?
The takeaway list got you as far as “pizza.” This list is the next argument. Styles, not shops. The shop’s version of any of these will differ, and the notes say so where the name is not a protected recipe.
If someone does not eat pork, pepperoni, Hawaiian, and many supreme pizzas are a flag, not a last-place rank. Put that in the group vote.
Rank two options at a time. Leave out anything you cannot judge. You can share the result or, on a public list, add your order to the visitor tally.
4–8 options keeps it quick. Leave at least two checked. You can adjust the order at the end.
What is on this list
The order here is a starting shortlist, not a ranking. Notes are context so a group can tell similar options apart.
- Cheese
- Cheese means tomato sauce and mozzarella, with no added topping. It is the control pizza. If the group cannot agree, it is also the safest order to split.
- Pepperoni
- Pepperoni is a cured pork-and-beef slice and the standard North American topping. Skip it, do not merely rank it last, if someone does not eat pork or beef.
- Margherita
- Margherita, as takeaway, is usually tomato, mozzarella, and basil. A Neapolitan margherita is a specific style. A chain margherita is whatever that chain puts on the board.
- Veggie
- Veggie means vegetables and no meat, and the mix is not standard. Ask which vegetables, especially if someone dislikes olives or onions enough to refuse the pie.
- BBQ chicken
- BBQ chicken usually means barbecue sauce, chicken, and often onion, instead of a plain tomato base. It is a shop invention, not a regional classic. Confirm the sauce if you need it mild.
- White pizza
- White pizza means no tomato sauce. Olive oil, garlic, and cheese are common. Recipes differ enough that you should ask what is on it before you order one to share.
- Hawaiian
- Hawaiian, on this list, means ham and pineapple. Rank it as a preference. If the table includes someone who does not eat pork, treat it as unworkable rather than funny.
- Supreme
- Supreme means a loaded pie that usually includes pepperoni and several vegetables. The exact toppings are the shop’s. Ask before you assume it is the supreme you grew up with.

Questions about this list
Is margherita one official pizza?
Neapolitan pizza has a real tradition and an association that publishes a specification. A takeaway margherita is usually tomato, mozzarella, and basil, and it will not match a Neapolitan pie unless the shop is making one. Rank the pizza you will be eating, not the poster.
Why is Hawaiian on the list?
Because groups argue about ham and pineapple, and skipping it pretends they do not. It is a preference. It is not a moral position. Rank it where you actually want it.
