 Since were all geeks and nerds here (and I include myself in those labels)  I presume everyone here loves or enjoys a slice of pizza.   So, just as an off-topic tangent thread, what are your favorite pizza toppings?  And is there a only one place you'll get your pizza pies from?  A small mom-n-pop pizzeria in your neighborhood?  Or any pizza will do, whether from a majors-seller or a frozen pie from the grocery store?     
 
(Sorry about the poll screw-up.   I hit enter before getting all the toppings listed and apparently you can't edit it after the fact.  I was gonna have like ten options to choose from.  If anyone on the Tested forum staff can alter it to show more toppings, please do so.)

Sausage, peperoni or any type of meat really, they all taste good in there own ways. I hope no one says pineapple, because if they do, they are wrong.

I love pepperoni with jalapenos.   A sprinkling of crushed red pepper is added too.   I'm a spice freak.

Pepperoni, green peppers (any kind of peppers really), bacon, onion, and hot sauce

Tomato, mozzarella, oregano, sometimes some basil and home mode pepper oil. Sometime I add some cheeses, like Conté, Emmental, Gruyère, and even Parmiggiano (and also some cheddar, but that's a shame). But nothing that would destroy all the flavors from the tomato or the mozzarella like all the stuff american use to put... I'm pretty conservative, except when I cook the Corsican pizza (with brocciu and figatellu), but I don't like this one.

Pepperoni out of those four, but I also enjoy Jalapeños, pepper, and any meat that isn't too overwhelming in flavor (i'm looking at you, sausage), like ham.

kinda depends. If I'm at a pizza shop I trust to cook the sausage properly and keep it fresh, I go for sausage. If I'm in a pinch and some nasty chain pizza place is the only option <cough>Dominos</cough>, I stick to cheese only. 
 
You never forget food poisoning.

@Fripplebubby:  
 
Yeah, when I went to make the pizza topping poll, I accidentally hit the "Enter" key mid-way through the list and that caused the poll list to be officially entered into the system and I could not go back and add more sadly.   I had like 12 toppings I was gonna list, but sadly, forum software does not allow the average user to alter poll options after the fact.  I was hoping a Tested forum staff member could add things for me, but I'm sure they're busy with more legit things to do.   This problem with editing and altering poll info has happened to me before on other forum sites.   I wish forum software would ask you beforehand whether your poll was completely filled out before posting it.  
 
By the way, you and me have similar tastes.   If you haven't tried one yet, get a pizza made with either hot or suicidal buffalo wing sauce if available in your area.   Its definitely unique for a spice freak.     In my area, there's a resturant called Giuseppes that makes a pizza with the hot wing sauce and cuts of tenderloin chickens on it.  Be sure your next to a bathroom though in the next 12 hours if your system can't handle the sauce.

For big chains, I usually order from Pizza-La.  My favourite pizza from them is their seafood pizza, has squid, onions, abalone, and shrimp with a white sauce.  Really really tasty.   
 
Not too many good local places for pizza around, and pizza here tends to be super thin crust unless you order from one of the big chains.  I prefer some bread to my pizza.  I also prefer light on the cheese, because I'm not too big on cheese really.

I want to go there now.  I love spicy foods and anything with hot sauce!

Yeah, their suicidal hot wing sauce is made with real, supermarket bought haberno peppers.   They made me test the batch when they made it up every week.  I used to work there about 5 years ago.  It's so hot that the only thing you taste is the heat and peppers when eating the food.   Its more of a thrill and dare to eat such a thing really.   Its definitely a natural high you get from eating the intense spicy food.  You feel very alive and aware when consuming such things.

@BaskervilleManor: I want to eat some of this now!  If I don't shit fire than it was not hot enough.  
 
I put hot sauce on everything pretty much and any kind of peppers I can get my hands on at the time.
