No pasta on pizza. No chicken on pizza. No salad on pizza. Just my rules.

I agree 100%
No pineapple or ham either

I will allow ham only w pineapple but I don't allow pineapple so...

Only toppings I like if any pepperoni or mushrooms that’s about it but 95.5% of the time I’ll order a plain pie

Any combination of sausage, mushrooms, onions, green pepper, pepperoni, or Italian beef is fine by me. 

Deep dish spinach is outstanding!

Peppers, mushrooms and onions is our go to. Along with a grandma pie to have leftovers. We skip the meat most of the time as it gets too greasy and my stomach says no to pepperoni. I am too old to eat that stuff! There is a local place that makes a sopressata pie with hot honey. It is delicious but I pay for it after eating. I dig the deep dish with sausage when in Chicago. It gets a bad rap, but it's good. Even if it takes an hour to get your food and you take half of it home.

No ham??..strange..

No ham and no prosciutto either. And yes no pineapple.

No prosciutto either??..can't believe it!!

No. If it is high quality Italian product from Parma you do not want to cook it. Same with Iberico from Spain. It should be served with ripe melon or fresh figs. Most of the time when I have had it on pizza, you cannot even bite through it. It's not the good stuff.

Usually they put the prosciutto at the end, no cooking..ham, bacon, turkey, chicken, prosciutto and pepperoni are the commons here..some like gyro on their pizza, not me..

I know you have posted pics of ham on your pie. I know I said I would try it. But I never have nor will I ever in the future, order a pizza with pineapple or ham. Just not going to happen. 

Hawaiian pizza is one of my favorites. The combo of sweet and salty is so good.

NO PEPPERS..what is the Italian beef ??..

An Italian beef sandwich is a "Chicago thing".
Google it or youtube it, and you can read all about it.

And basically you just throw the Italian beef and peppers on your pizza. It's fantastic. 

Got it..what we called here pulled beef..i don't think you can find that kind of pizza here..

Funny as we get older, we just can't eat the "good stuff" anymore. My friend ordered chicken wings at the Blackhawks game last night. I indulged on 2 wings, knowing damn well I would be running for the Tums when I got back home. Hahaha

Yep. My kids love wings, and we have a great place not too far away. They do not seem to bother me. Basically deli meats other than turkey and chicken are a no for me. No more fried food, which means no more parmigianas, cutlets, onion rings, or calamari. And I rarely get food at events unless I am starving. Can't remember the last cheeseburger I had. But I am told it is ok to get a hot dog with sauerkraut since it is fermented LOL. Back to pizza, we keep it simple, most times with no meat. And hey if you enjoy a Hawaiian or a salad pizza, no judging. I have had some good "flatbreads" with innovative toppings. Black olives, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and even sardines. But it is not pizza.
