When it comes to pizza, toppings are incredibly important. No matter how good the crust and sauce are, it doesn’t matter if a terrible topping is added to the pizza.

A new survey says that it has determined America’s least favorite pizza topping, according to a post on YouGov.com. The results are based on a poll that included 6,000 adults from the United States.

According to the results, America’s most disliked topping is anchovies. The small fish has a big taste and is often the butt of bad-pizza-topping jokes. While people not liking anchovies on pizza may not be surprising, the survey also revealed several other unpopular pizza toppings.

While 61% of respondents said that they don’t like anchovies on pizza, 52% also said that they don’t like eggplant on pizza. Artichokes were the third least popular topping, with 44% of respondents saying no to them.

I’d rather use a freezing outhouse than a hot, steamy, bug filled outhouse.

In China and SE Asia, they put pineapple on pizza.

Not sure what rock you've been living under but pineapple on a pizza or "Hawaiian" pizza has been around for at least 50 years in the US, probably longer. And is my favorite pizza.

For years I’ve been putting the anchovies on the cooked pizza.

If you put ranch dressing on your pizza, please don’t be my friend.

I spent just over a month in Naples. There was this little place that made the best pizza. It was very plain, just crust and sauce if I remember right. It was addicting it was so good.

That indicates REAL cheese.

Problem with most pepperoni, especially at the “dollar a slice” joints favored by homeless people and college students is that it is NOT MADE WITH PORK! Often made with chicken or beef, especially if said joints are owned by Muslims.

Here in North Jersey, the takeout pizza places are often owned by Egyptian Christians and are only a step above Dominoes.

The quality of ingredients is very important.

Yay pizza wars! I luvz me some pineapple and ham! But you’ve never had real pizza toppings until you’ve visited Japan. Squid ink (Ikasumi)! Cod sperm (Shirako)! Corn! Mayonnaise! Fermented soybeans (Natto, a confection so nasty...well, ya gotta try it)! Oh, yeah, and pepperoni.

Back when the movie Ratatouille came out, I made some for my family. Big flop. The recipe called for anchovy. I think anchovy is under appreciated as a flavor builder. Obviously many would disagree.

Been to Japan, had the pizza LOL

If they didn’t use anchovies, they screwed it up. :>)

” After a half century on earth I’ve only recently discovered the glories of these 3 toppings on pizza: fresh basil, jalapenos, and ranch dressing.”

Dittos on the jalapeños. Also, when I was stationed in San Antonio in the Air Force in the 70’s, I was introduced to chorizo on pizza. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!

Who the heck decided to put pineapple on Pizza? BTW Living in Italy for almost 2 years, nothing beat their pizza which was always single serve.

[right way right]

My personal beef is that BBQ sauce does not belong on pizza.

Heck IMHO BBQ sauce does not belong on BBQ, you serve it on the side.
