I often make my own pizzas from scratch. I find pounding the dough therapeutic and I can have anything I want on them and I'm often found wandering Asda trying to find some new,tasty topping.

Suggestions welcome

I like to cut a roll in half and use that as the base. It stays soft. Marc puts barbecue sauce, chicken, and Mexican cheese on his.

Chicken and bbq sauce is one of my favourites. Do you mean an ordinary bread roll? Soft or crusty? I've used French stick and Paninis before.

My fave pizza in Venice was Quattro Stagioni - prosciutto, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and cheese. Mmmmm.

Or try goats cheese and onion marmalade.

Yes, I've used those breads too. I'm not sure what you people call your rolls, but I think I'm talking about a soft roll?

Anything made of bread that fits in my hand is a roll

I've never eaten artichoke,do they have a strong taste and are they slimy? I love onion preserve,never thought of having it hot.

That's more or less our basic pizza,without the basil. I put bbq sauce with it sometimes.

Make one. If you can't wait for the dough to rise you can buy pizza flour. You can cram as much as you like on and smother in cheese.

I prefer my pizzas to be mainly vegetarian, I like strong cheddar, extra tomatoes, pineapple, oregano, onion, mushrooms and peppers. Meat wise a little ground beef, possibly ham if I'm adding pineapple and occasionally pepperoni

Fairly conservative I know.

Calzone I like with lots of meat, bolognaise and meatballs

I'm going to be looking for other sauces. I can't think off the top of my head what would taste nice with pizza dough.

I can only eat the tuna. I can't stomach seafood. It sounds nice but the texture puts me off.

I think a really good night with a man would be making pizza together and sitting in front of a real fire eating it,with a bottle of wine.

Artichoke hearts taste great and are not slimy at all.

One of the most pleasant pizza surprises was a chicken caesar salad topping

Slices of tender chicken (cooked) then when out of the oven, topped with baby lettuce leaves, parmesan and a drizzle of caesar dressing

No one likes sweet pizza?

Nutella and banana or strawberries

Creme fraiche with all of the fruits

I promise they are both good!

Along with all the standard toppings I also like anchovies on mine ... Not too many though as they are a bit salty

Sounds like that one was 'adapted' for tourists tastes. I've had Quattro Stagioni in many places in Italy (it's my absolute favourite and rarely seen on a menu in the UK). The name means Four Seasons and it's usually a veggie pizza with produce from each season arranged in quarters on the top. I've had all sorts on it, the best being one with fennel along with the artichoke - scrummy!

Try a twist on a classic. Cheese and ham for example. Rather than just ham and mozzarella, try a fancy applewood smoked ham and tallegio cheese.

A good tomato sauce is key though. When you have a good one, keep the recipe!

A recipe I gathered from Corsica years ago.....

Baby spinach tossed in chilli oil, spread to make a bed, make a dip in the middle, break an egg into the dip(a duck egg works really well)and sprinkle with a few bits of goats cheese....Yummy!
