Meat Toppings

If you’re a meat lover, start with your meat toppings. This will allow the meat to cook and release some of its juices onto the pizza, making for a more flavorful pie. Some popular meat toppings include:

  • Pepperoni
  • Sausage
  • Ham
  • Bacon
  • Ground beef
  • Chicken

Spread your meat toppings evenly across the pizza, leaving some space for other toppings.

Vegetable Toppings

Next up, it’s time to add your vegetable toppings. These toppings will cook best when they’re in direct contact with the sauce, so make sure to layer them on top of the meat. Some popular vegetable toppings include:

  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Peppers
  • Olives
  • Tomatoes
  • Spinach
  • Artichokes

Again, spread your vegetable toppings evenly and leave some space for the cheese.

Cheese Toppings

It’s finally time to add the cheese! This will help hold all of your toppings together and give your pizza that classic gooey texture. Some popular cheese toppings include:

  • Mozzarella
  • Cheddar
  • Parmesan
  • Ricotta
  • Feta

Sprinkle your cheese evenly over the entire pizza, making sure to cover all of the toppings.

Sauce Toppings

Lastly, it’s time to add your sauce toppings. These toppings can add a lot of flavor to your pizza, but be careful not to go overboard. Too much sauce can make your pizza soggy and difficult to eat. Some popular sauce toppings include:

  • Pesto
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Barbecue sauce
  • Hot sauce
  • Olive oil

Drizzle your sauce toppings over the pizza in a zigzag pattern, making sure to cover all of the cheese.

And there you have it! The perfect homemade pizza toppings order. Of course, feel free to customize your pizza with whatever toppings you like best, but following this order will ensure that your pizza cooks evenly and tastes delicious.
