Pepperoni remains the single most-ordered pizza topping across nearly every region, but the toppings ordered alongside it have shifted noticeably over the past two years toward spicier and more textured additions.
What's trending up
- Hot honey drizzle, usually added after baking rather than cooked on.
- Calabrian chili paste as a base layer under the cheese.
- Thinly shaved fennel or pickled red onion for acidity.
- Whipped ricotta dolloped on after the bake for a cold-hot contrast.
Classic combinations that still hold up
Mushroom and truffle oil, sausage and roasted red pepper, and the plain Margherita all remain reliably popular because they balance rather than compete — no single ingredient overwhelms the others.
An under-ordered combination worth trying
Fig, prosciutto and blue cheese rarely appears on a delivery order but performs well in reviews when people do try it. The sweetness of the fig balances the salt of the prosciutto and the sharpness of the cheese, and it works especially well on a thin, less doughy crust that won't compete for attention.
The most interesting order isn't the topping itself, but the order it's added in — a cold ingredient dropped on after the bake reads completely differently to the same ingredient cooked through.
A note on dietary trends
Vegan cheese blends made from cashew or oat bases have improved enough that several listings in our directory now offer them as a standard swap rather than a specialty item, and gluten-free crusts are increasingly baked on dedicated trays to avoid cross-contact.
