Legitimate Pizza toppings include (and are pretty much limited to):

Pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, mushrooms, anchovies, olives, meatballs.

The only acceptable cheeses are mozzarella, ricotta if it is white pizza, and the parm you sprinkle on top.

Not quite hell-worthy (because they are arguably modifications of existing toppings) are ground beef, bacon, and tomatos.

As much as I enjoy "burrito pizza" or "bacon cheeseburger pizza" I realize these are anathema (good hint: you've stuck another dish entirely on a pizza).

Similar with broccoli and spinach -- delicious indeed, but entirely too healthy to be on a dang pizza.

And chicken is just wrong wrong wrong

Pineapple works better on chicken than beef. Mmm. Teriyaki chicken sandwiches.

hip deep in pie

I don't have an opinion of deep dish vs. thin crust. It's all good. The only things I object to on pizza are pineapple, chicken and corn. (I encountered the corn thing a lot in Vancouver, and I think someone once told me it's a popular topping in Japan.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And chicken is just wrong wrong wrong

What other meat are you going to use on a Thai pizza?

Oh, don't worry, you can keep it.

BARBECUE?@!?!?!?!?!?

Again, see "another dish entirely" rule.

only forms of tomato sauce on pizza. I assumed this went without saying. pesto is at least italian and still pretty wrong.

Barbecue. Oy.

And what is with this weird desire to make pizza sweet? Eat a sundae, whitey.

Pillows can be had at Target for $5+. I happen to know.

Unfortunately, Target is rather out of the way for me this week and I doubt they'll deliver in time.

Shrift, you don't need extra CTA cards if you are traveling together. The card is even smart enough to count multiple transfers.

True. But I'll have to remember to get my family members to pay me for all those passback rides, because I'm kind of poor.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I saw 4-cheese truffle pizzas in Italy. (I don't remember what the 4 cheeses were.) And, I mean, I don't actually like truffles all that much, but, Italy! Home (originally) of the (much different) pizza! Surely that must count for something!

Hmm... were they all Italian cheeses? Because that seems reasonable. I'm assuming no one in Italy stuck cheddar or jack on a pizza.

And truffles fall under the "very nearly the same as an existing ingredient" rule like tomato slices and ground beef.
