For those that love pizza, you might already know this, but today we celebrate a little known holiday known as “National Sausage Pizza Day”! The Mike & Carla Morning Show, big pizza fans, talk about the simplicity of just ordering a one topping type pizza and all that it offers!
Although “sausage” comes in at #5 on the list of favorite toppings, we truly think it’s the heart and soul of any pizza you might order. Chicago, Detroit, Boston style pizzas…you gotta love the flavor sausage brings to your Italian pie! However, truth be told, pepperoni comes in at number 1, which seriously, pepperoni? C’mon, give us some substance, some uh, meat! We know pepperoni is a “meat” but not the same thing.
Also in the Top 5, Mushrooms, onions and rounding out the list would be sausage! And don’t get us started on “pineapple” on a pizza…that is so un-American!!!! When it comes to the most “disliked” topping the grand prize overwhelming winner is anchovies!
Now, if you want to take it one step further, you can read up on the most liked/disliked pizza combinations…an article published by YouGovAmerica which throws out some impressive stats when it comes to pizza toppings!
Pizza is always a hot topic and everyone has their favorites now matter where you’re from and no matter what you like on your pie.

The origin of the word “Pizza” is a little unclear but Dictionary.com states many etymologists believe it comes from the ancient German Lombardic word bizzo which means “bite.” Some etymologists think that the word comes from the Greek word, “Pitta” which has the root word of pita referring to brand bread.
In any case of the meaning, the doughy-saucy goodness is so popular that customers can order it in many different shapes and sizes. The best part is that you can add just about anything to the top of pizzas… Except pineapple. Sorry, not sorry about it.
According to History.com, “the modern birthplace of pizza is southwestern Italy’s Campania region, home to the city of Naples.” That is not to say that the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians didn’t create their own form of what we know today.
This round favorite food possesses many great qualities of convenience and taste. You can find pizza on street corners in New York to upscale restaurants in high-rises with city scape views. Many customers like to pinch it, folding it in half or inside out folding it in half. There is no incorrect way to eat a pizza. Don’t listen to the haters.
Pizza places were ranked based on their Google review star rating. Each business was chosen with more than 200 customer reviews.
