One of my kids likes pineapple on her pizza. Just pineapple. Another prefers pepperoni. Just pepperoni. The last two … cheese. Plain ‘ol cheese. Me though? Bring on the toppings! The more obscure the better! One pizza place in my hometown actually adds shredded potato to their pizza and it is out of this world! …
