If there are two things that everybody loves, it's funny movies and delicious, delicious pizza... and we bet that we can tell your favorite comedy (or at least, your favorite style of comedy movie) from the kind of decisions you make when it comes to getting pizza for dinner. What kind of toppings are going to grace that cheese and sauce when you order - if you even want toppings at all! There are definitely some people who think that cheese is where it's at, and anything on top is just a distraction...
How do you order, what do you order, and where do you eat (and who with)... reveal it all and we'll tell you which kind of funny movie you should be watching the next time you decide that pizza is the way to go. Maybe you are the kind of person who loves the classics - whether that means a simple pepperoni pizza with a side of garlic bread, or classic comedy movies with straightforward jokes and slapstick humor. Maybe you are all about indie comedies that mix a little drama with their punchlines, and you love trying things new when it comes to food (and probably enjoy a few of those toppings that most people absolutely hate!). Maybe you are all about loading up as much as possible on a pie, and going for the biggest, grossest comedies you can find, or maybe you like a little predictable veggie pizza with a nice glass of white, a few girlfriends, and a rom com.
Pick a size
First things first - how much pizza are you going to be getting? Are you all about the biggest one you can find (and even then, you might order more than one), or are you more likely to go for a personal pizza (and not even finish it). Do you go for the medium and hope for the best, or maybe you just need one single slice?
How many slices?
Now that you know how big your pizza is going to be, do you have a preference on how many slices it is cut into? Maybe you honestly couldn't care less, or maybe you have some strong preferences on whether or not you get eight, twelve... or would rather it not be sliced at all.
What kind of slices?
Final slicing question... how do you want your pizza sliced? Are you all about the traditional and straightforward triangles that leave a little crust handle and a wedge of cheese and toppings, or are you going to go bold with small square slices, random shapes, or no slicing at all?
Pick a crust
What kind of crust do you want for your pizza? Are you going for some real authentic Italian wood fired stove pizza, complete with those almost-burnt bits on the crust, or are you more of a pan pizza kinda person? Maybe you couldn't live without the cheesy stuffed crust, or you are happy with just a thin crust pizza.
How much cheese?
Cheese is a pretty vital part of the pizza for most people - but just how cheesy do you want your pizza to get? Are you happy with the standard amount of cheese, or are you going to heap extra cheese on until it can't take any more? Or maybe you think cheese is overrated, and would go for half cheese, or even for no cheese at all?
What kind of cheese?
Now that we've figured out how much cheese you want to pile on that pie, what kind of cheese is it going to be? Are you a fan of the classic mozzarella options, or do you want a blend of mozzarella, cheddar... and really, anything else they'll throw on top? Maybe you would prefer some goats cheese, or even vegan cheese as a topping.
Pick a sauce
What kind of sauce is going to go on your pizza? Are you a total traditionalist, and can't imagine anything other than a tomato sauce on a pizza? Or are you willing to go a little bit crazy, maybe aiming for barbeque or white creamy sauce underneath that cheese... or are you someone who is happy to have no sauce at all?
The same toppings on the whole thing?
Are you the kind of person who is going to build your pizza with the same toppings across the entire thing, or do you want to mix and match a little to get different topping combinations in every bite? Maybe you split the whole pizza into sections, or go for a straightforward half and half for variety.
Pick a meat topping
First topping choice! What kind of meat do you want as the basis for your pizza combination? Are you all about the classic pepperoni pizza, with the edges all crispy from being in the oven... or would you rather go for something different, like sausage or even the healthier options of chicken (or no meat at all)?
Pick a veggie topping
Time to add some veggies! What's the first veggie that you want to have on top of your pizza - or are you the kind of person who doesn't want anything that could be considered healthy at all? Do you like red onions best, or are green peppers or tomatoes more your style?
Pick a controversial topping
Everyone knows that there are some pizza toppings that are bound to cause arguments - and you either love them, or you absolutely hate them! Which of these controversial toppings would you choose first - pineapple on pizza, anchovies, black olives... or would you refuse them all?
Pick another veggie topping
Time for veggie toppings, round two! Which of these veggies do you want to add to your pizza next? Would you go for the slightly unusual choice of zucchini slices, for the slightly more common spinach for a little green leafy goodness, or would you rather have mushrooms... or are you done with the veggies already?
Lots of toppings, or just a few?
Do you prefer a pizza that is absolutely loaded down with toppings - so many that you can barely lift the slice without them all sliding off with the cheese? Or would you rather have no toppings at all, and just cheese is all you need? Maybe you are happy with just one or two toppings, or you think that four is the perfect number.
Ok, pick one more meat topping
Would you like to add a little more meat to the top of this pizza? How about going a little bit fancy with some thinly sliced and delicious prosciutto? Or maybe you would prefer the extra large Brooklyn-style pepperoni (even if you already have pepperoni on there!). How about some bacon... or are you keeping it meat-free?
Pick another veggie topping
Time for more veggies - or is it? Are you done with veggie toppings for now, or are you happy to throw another healthy choice on top of the pie? How about some uber-healthy broccoli florets with that cheese, or some roasted red peppers? Maybe you are in the mood for some sundried tomatoes instead?
And one more veggie topping
Ok, one more veggie topping, if you aren't totally done with the toppings at this point! If you aren't a fan of spinach, maybe arugula is going to be the way to go, or would you prefer some caramelized onions instead? How about some green olives this round, just to top it off?
Pick a final controversial topping
One more round of controversial toppings... how do you feel about a fried egg in the center of that pizza, with a runny yolk that bursts when you slice into it? Or if that's not for you, what about sweet corn... whether as baby corn or in tiny pieces. Could you go for some potato slices instead?
Pick an 'extra' topping
Almost done with toppings, but what about the ones that just feel more like a garnish than a topping at all? Would you like to finish thing with some red chili flakes for a little heat, or maybe some fresh herbs like a sprig of basil in the middle? Maybe you love the crunch of hot peppers on top, or you think that roasted garlic would be perfect?
Sauce on that?
Do you like to have your pizza with sauce drizzled over the whole thing, or do you firmly believe that sauce and pizza do not go together (unless you are dipping the crust)? If you do want some sauce over the top, would you prefer a barbeque sauce, a ranch sauce, or a roasted garlic sauce on that?
What about a dipping sauce?
Maybe you don't want the sauce over the entire pizza, but what about a little cup of dip? Especially when you get to the crusts, most people like a little extra flavor to dip in... are you going to give dipping sauce a hard pass, go for the tomato based marinara, the creamy ranch, or the cheesy dip?
Pick a drink to go with it
Ok, time to grab something to wash down your slice. When you are looking for something to drink with your pizza, are you more likely to go for a sugary soda (or any flavor), just plain water (to stay hydrated), something decadent like a milkshake, or something alcoholic, like a cold beer or glass of wine?
Pizza and sides, or just pizza?
Do you think that pizza is so fantastic that it is a meal all by itself, or do you want to add some sides to your pizza order to mix things up? Maybe you always love having just one side (like a garlic bread) with your pizza, or are you the kind of person that will get every combo they can with a whole range of sides?
Pick a side salad
Pizza might have a reputation for not being the healthiest meal choice, so pick a nice side salad to make yourself feel better about your dinner... do you want to go for something simple, like a garden salad, or something a little bit richer, like a caeser salad? Maybe you would have a goats cheese and spinach salad, or no salad at all.
Pick a bread side
Which of these bread based sides would you order with your pizza? Are you going for the classic garlic bread, or maybe even adding cheese (because who doesn't want more cheese?!) with cheesy garlic bread? Maybe you would prefer garlic knots, or simple breadsticks...
Pick a chicken side
What about a chicken side dish? Are you all about the classic chicken wings and dip combo, or maybe you love the taste but hate gnawing the meat off the bones, so you would rather have boneless bites? Maybe you don't eat chicken (or any meat) at all, or maybe you want something different, like a chicken salad?
Pick a dessert for after
Just in case all those sides and the pizza itself aren't quite enough to fill you up, there's always room for a little dessert. Which of these desserts would be the one that you go for? Are you a fan of a big warm chocolate chip cookie, a molten lava cake, a fancy tiramisu... or could you not eat another bite?
Pick an ordering method
Now that you've figured out exactly what you are going to eat, how are you going to be getting that delicious, delicious pizza to you? Are you a fan of ordering online, so that you don't have to talk to anyone, or are you happy to go old school and order on the phone? Maybe you like to go pick it up, or you only ever eat in restaurants.
Where to eat the pizza?
Where are you eating the pizza that you have lovingly constructed, now that it's on the way and you are almost ready to chow down? Are you the kind of person who only eats at a restaurant (unless you make it yourself), or are you happy to eat it on the sofa at home? Maybe you go for the dining room table... or just take the box into bed with Netflix!
Fingers, or knife and fork?
This is definitely a question that is going to divide pizza lovers... how do you eat your pizza once it has arrived? Do you think that the only way to do it is just to grab it with your fingers and bite, or are you going to grab a knife and fork to get that delicious pizza from plate to mouth?
Plates, or straight out of the box?
Now that the pizza is here, how are you going to eat it? Are you going to go and get some clean plates for everyone, or is one of the best things about pizza the fact that you can eat it straight from the box and there is nothing to clean up after? Maybe you meet in the middle with some paper plates, instead...
Real napkins, or paper towels?
There's no doubt about it, pizza can get messy! All that cheese, grease, sauce and even dip can necessitate some serious clean up... so do you use real napkins (like a fancy-pants), use paper napkins, or just grab a roll of paper towels? Maybe you don't even bother, and just wipe yours hands on your jeans... (ew).
Sharing, or eating the whole thing?
Are you a solo scoffer, or do you prefer to order pizza when there are people around to share it with? Maybe you love to eat alone, and have no problem eating an entire pizza by yourself, or you are happiest when you are sharing it with your partner or a close group of friends? Or is your favorite way to eat it at a big party?
Will there be leftovers?
Do you like to order only enough pizza for you to eat at that moment, or is ordering pizza a way for you to keep yourself fed for the next few days on the leftovers? Are you the type to always have a little cold pizza in the fridge, or maybe you've never met a pizza you couldn't eat!
Leftover pizza - hot or cold?
If you've got leftovers, how do you like to eat them the next day? Are you the kind of person who thinks that pizza is actually even more delicious when you eat it cold, straight from the fridge, or do you heat it up... and if you need it hot, do you go for the microwave, or the oven to get it to that perfect temperature?
One off treat, or regular meal?
Finally - how often do you find yourself eating pizza? Are you someone who only orders it as an occasional treat, when you really want to indulge, or are you more the kind of person who thinks that pizza is life and eats it all the time? Or maybe you love eating pizza often, but only when you make a healthier version of it yourself?
