Nearly anything can be added to a pizza and it will taste amazing, but there are some toppings pizza lovers go back for again and again. According to Covington, KY's Riverfront Pizza & Sports Bar, the most popular toppings can be broken down into three categories: meats, vegetables, and fruit. Here, they discuss which toppings are the best loved in each category, as well as what to try if you want something new.

The Top Pizza Toppings

Meats

Of the top five most popular toppings, three of them are meats: pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. Year after year, pepperoni is the overall winner across all of the categories. It's even more popular than extra cheese.

You can't go wrong with basic meat and cheese, but if you're looking for something different but still heavy on the meat, consider a sausage, pepperoni, and pineapple pizza. While Canadian bacon is usually paired with pineapple, its sweet flavoring deliciously complements the spices in pepperoni and sausage.

Vegetables

Typically, the best flavor combinations are found with one meat and two vegetables. Try out bacon, onion, and spinach for a BLT-inspired pizza that'll make your taste buds happy.

Fruit

The only fruit that makes it into the top 10 list of pizza toppings is pineapple, which comes in at number nine. Pineapple and Canadian bacon are an old-school favorite that stays popular with each new generation.

If you want to try something new but still want to stick with savory, consider a custom order of cheese and apple. These two flavors complement each other perfectly, but for the best taste, skip the marinara and go for a white sauce instead.
