Chunks of fresh peeled tomatoes (not sauce), fresh mozzarella cheese made from buffalo's milk, and basil from the garden. On a hand-made crust and cooked in a brick oven with a wood fire.
i've always preferred flanders-style: plain pizza. occassionally pepperoni, but not often. sometimes when i cook it myself though, i through in some herb from my personal stash; weed is good on everything.
There is a little bar/pizza joint thing in Nashville (near Vanderbilt) called - of all things - Jonathan's. When I lived there a few years ago, I became addicted to their grilled chicken/roasted garlic pizzas.
And in Carlsbad, near the PCH, there is a cool pizza place and I'd always get their shrimp pizzas! Oh man. Those were the only two places I'd ever eat what you'd call an "exotic" sort of pizza.
When I order from Papa John's or Domino's, 90% of the time it's boring ol' pepperoni or Canadian bacon with pineapple.
But I'm not a big pizza person: I MIGHT eat 3-4 a year.
I'm asking because i want to brag that I'm munching some shitake mushroom pizza right now. It's delicious.
Pre-emptive reply to Hassan: Where's the polenta, spinach, exotic thai noodles, and other twatty foods?
Polenta, I like that stuff. Never knew it existed until my father asked what me and my girlfriend wanted at Thanksgiving Dinner instead of stuffing because they were putting meat in it. I didn't know what to tell him, but we arrived for dinner and there was Polenta.
My favorite pizza; black olives, mushrooms, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and tomato slices.
Acutally, try putting jerk seasoning on your pizza. Any kinda pizza will do, as you can't taste anything else once you've put a decent amount of it on.

Now *that's* good.

Now that I think of it, Old Forge Pizza is pretty famous around here... It's just a small town with like 20 pizza places of a distinctive taste. I guess you just have to experience it.

Don't be sad.
If you have a handy restaurant that serves amazingly good hot wings, just skip the pizza. All that boring crust taking up valuable stomach space isn't for me.
If the wings are good* enough, you'll need that stomach space available for soothing, cold, mugs of beer.

I second the nomination of basil. Fresh basil with some mushrooms is a good start. Perhaps a crust with a little hint of sourdough and a sauce that is less sugary than what one typically fines in Americanized pizza. Red onions are nice as well. Beyond that, anything that will expedite my impending coronary explosion will suffice.

You can put other stuff on there too, but it's not the same without the anchovies.

Old Forge? Old Forge, New York?
I still have trouble eating at the local Pizza Hut and Godfathers. It totally spoiled me!
Dang, I wish my sister still lived out there.
