Meat Pizza Toppings
By far, the most popular types of pizza toppings are ones that involve meat, and with a wide selection, we don’t blame you! From the delicious parma ham to spicy salami and much more, there is an abundance of meaty creations you can enjoy. When adding meat to your pizza, it is important to beautifully compliment the flavours with chilli, garlic, onion and even more meat! For example, spicy chicken and beef go down a treat, especially when paired with another layer of heat from jalapeños. If you’re looking for recipes to try at home, take a look at our previous article on how to make pizza dough!
We know your tastebuds will be tingling at the thought of pizza, so let’s dive into the best meat pizza toppings you will ever have!
1. The Luganica: Italian Sausage, Garlic, Spinach & Chillis
The best way to get the full taste of Italian cuisine is to try out Italian sausage on your pizza. Italian sausage is a pork sausage that has been seasoned with various herbs, with the primary ingredient being fennel. Depending on the recipe, Italian sausage can be spicy or mild, so be sure to ask our team if you’re unsure what type of Italian sausage we have! To complement the herbs and flavours in the sausage, we highly recommend chillis, as it can bring out the herbs and spices in the sausage even more. Toning down the spice, we enjoy adding sauteed garlic spinach onto the pizza for a contrasting flavour that packs a punch. You can try your hand at cooking up your own Italian sausage using this fantastic recipe from The Daring Gourmet!
2. The Meaty Picante: Spicy Salami, Hot Chicken, Beef, Jalapeños & Onion
If you are looking for a mouthwatering and action-packed pizza, then you’re in luck! This delicious combo of meats and caramelised onions gives you the perfect level of spicy and sweet. We love the combination of the sweet caramelised onions and the spicy salami, giving you a balance of flavours. Every bit of this delicious pizza will make your mouth water even more, so why not pop on down for some flavour-packed goodness?
3. The Meaty: Pepperoni, Chicken, Beef, Italian Sausage & Mozzarella
We’re back at it again with another meat-packed pizza, and we’ve most definitely gone all out. As a firm favourite amongst our customers, this mouthwatering pizza features a selection of pepperoni, chicken, beef and Italian sausage, offering everything you could possibly ask for as a meat lover. And don’t forget, when visiting one of our Italian restaurants in Milton Keynes, you can add and remove any ingredients you want to make it your own!
4. The Pepperoni: Pepperoni & Mozzarella
You can’t go wrong with a classic pepperoni, giving you that hint of meaty flavour you long for without overpowering it with any other ingredients. This is one of the popular options at our restaurants, and you can easily add some onion, pepper or even some sundried tomatoes if you wish. Pepperoni holds an abundance of powerful flavour, so while it may be the only topping on your pizza, it will certainly go down a storm.
5. The Parma: Parma Ham, Rocket, Tomatoes & Parmesan
For a more delicate meaty pizza, we have our popular parma. This pizza has a delicious handful of parma ham, a thin slice of meat with rich flavour. This gives you a subtle meaty hint without overpowering the pizza and goes perfectly with rocket or spinach. We add some fresh tomatoes and a small shaving of parmesan to add to the flavours, giving you the perfect, light and extremely tasty pizza.
6. The Calzone: Mozzarella, Ricotta, Mushrooms, Prosciutto Cotto & Pepperoni
Have you ever heard of a calzone? To put it simply, a calzone is where we make the pizza and fold it together before popping it in the oven. This gives you an even crispier pizza and makes the ‘toppings soft and delicious. Our classic calzone is brimming with signature Italian ingredients and served with a pomodoro dip; a traditional sauce created using tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and a dash of sugar to balance the flavours.
