I dunno, Mike, my wife always makes derogatory comments whenever I'm making pizzas because I take too long adding the scenery. She doesn't realise that there's a specific order in which the details must be added: tomato sauce is the most important, and always first and very generously-applied, then the pepperoni, so it can be buried under the grated cheese, preventing it from turning into hardened, wizened rat turds, like it would if added on top of the cheese.
I always use two cheeses, too, mozzarella first, then old cheddar. After that, the mushrooms go on, followed by the peppers - red, green, orange, and yellow, all in very generous amounts, and sprinkled liberally with salt and pepper. Olives are next, both green and ripe, also in copious quantities, and I always finish-off with a can of crushed pineapple.
Of course, it also takes longer in the oven, and it appears that the necessity of eating it with a knife and fork, as did all my Italian ancestors, is somehow offensive....after all, it is impossible to pick-up with your hands, as it collapses under the weight of the toppings. Perhaps I should build stronger benchwork?
Now I'm hungry...
