America has spoken. Here are the 10 most popular pizza toppings in the USA – and the Eaton’s take and bake pizzas that do each one justice.
There’s a reason certain toppings keep showing up on pizza boxes across the country year after year. They hit something deep – salty, savory, sweet, spicy – that no other food quite delivers. At Eaton’s Fresh Pizza, we’ve spent over 40 years thinking about exactly these combinations, working with real Wisconsin ingredients to make each one taste the way it was meant to taste.
Below, we’re taking on America’s 10 most popular pizza toppings – where they land nationally, and exactly how we use them in our fresh take and bake pizzas. From classic pepperoni to the great pineapple debate, here’s the full story.
1. Pepperoni
Pepperoni is America’s runaway favorite found on more pizza orders than any other topping by a significant margin. Its signature curl in the oven, crispy edges, and bold smoky-spicy punch have made it the gold standard of pizza for generations. If you had to define “pizza flavor” in a single topping, this is it.
At Eaton’s, pepperoni stars on the Packer Pizza.

Pepperoni meets its match in the Packer Pizza, a worthy lineup of Mozzarella, Sausage, Pepperoni, Hamburger, Onions, and Green Peppers, finished with Cheddar on top. The pepperoni bakes right in your own oven, crisping up at the edges the way it’s supposed to.
2. Sausage
Italian sausage is a perennial #2 on America’s most-ordered topping lists, and for good reason – its herbed, savory depth adds a richness that no other meat can replicate. Often paired with onions and peppers, it’s the anchor of any serious meat pizza and the reason “supreme” became a category in the first place.
At Eaton’s, sausage leads the Badger Pizza.

The Badger is Eaton’s full-throttle tribute to serious sausage lovers. A full serving of Sausage shares the stage with Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Hamburger, and Bacon, all crowned with Cheddar Cheese. It’s not a subtle pizza. It’s a Wisconsin statement, built for people who believe every bite should mean something
3. Mushrooms
Mushrooms consistently rank as the top vegetable topping in the U.S., beloved for their deep, earthy umami that makes every bite more satisfying. They absorb flavor from whatever surrounds them, which is exactly why they thrive on boldly seasoned pizzas and why fresh mushrooms make a noticeable difference compared to canned.
At Eaton’s, fresh mushrooms find their boldest home on the Cajun.

At Eaton’s, fresh mushrooms find their most exciting showcase in the Cajun, layered with Sausage, Shrimp, Crab, Green Peppers, Onions, and Cajun Seasoning over Mozzarella. The mushrooms soak up every drop of that coastal, spicy flavor as it bakes through. It’s a pizza unlike anything most mushroom fans have tried, and that’s exactly the point.
4. Extra Cheese
“Extra cheese” is one of the most-requested pizza modifications in America because more cheese simply means more joy. The combination of stretchy mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and smooth provolone has become a beloved trinity, and for pizza lovers who want richness above all else, it’s the one topping that needs no justification.
At Eaton’s, extra cheese is the entire identity of the Cheese Lover’s.
Cheese Lover's Pizza
Eaton’s takes cheese seriously and Wisconsin gives them every reason to. The Cheese Lover’s is a four-cheese masterpiece of real Wisconsin Mozzarella, Cheddar, Provolone, and Parmesan. This is dairy country, and this pizza is the proof. The cheese pull when it comes out of your oven is something customers talk about for years.
5. Onions
Onions have earned a firm spot in America’s top five pizza toppings, especially when they soften and sweeten in the oven, adding a savory-sweet backbone that quietly lifts every other flavor on the pie. Whether raw, caramelized, or grilled, they bring a complexity that’s easy to overlook but impossible to miss when it’s gone.
At Eaton’s, onions shine on the Fresh Veggie.

On the Fresh Veggie, onions appear alongside Fresh Tomato, Fresh Green Pepper, Fresh Mushrooms, and Mozzarella and every single one of those toppings is added fresh, not from a can or a freezer bag. Eaton’s preps their veggies daily, which means the onions bring an honest brightness and sweetness that pre-packaged toppings simply can’t replicate.
6. Black Olives
Black olives are a beloved coast-to-coast pizza classic, prized for their distinctive briny, salty pop that cuts through rich cheese and adds contrast to every bite. They’re the kind of topping that flies under the radar until it’s missing – and then you notice immediately. Their slightly buttery texture makes them one of the most versatile pizza additions on any menu.
At Eaton’s, black olives meet their match on the Fiesta Grande.
Fiesta Grande Pizza
Eaton’s puts black olives in exactly the right company on the Fiesta Grande, a bold, festive creation loaded with Spicy Chorizo, Green Peppers, Tortilla Chips, Onions, Lettuce, and Cheddar. The olives play perfectly against the heat of the chorizo and the crunch of the chips, bringing that briny counterpoint that turns a good pizza into a great one.
7. Green Peppers
Green peppers are a cornerstone of “supreme”-style pizzas all across America. Their firm, satisfying crunch and slightly bitter, grassy flavor provide the perfect counterweight to salty meats and rich cheese. They’re one of the few toppings that genuinely gets better as it bakes, softening just enough while keeping its structure and color.
At Eaton’s, green peppers get a full-serving spotlight on Malibu.
Malibu Pizza
The Malibu gives green peppers a full-serving spotlight alongside Light Canadian Bacon, Black Olives, Fresh Mushrooms, Pineapple, and Onions, with Mozzarella layered on top to lock all that flavor in. It’s a West Coast-inspired pizza with a Wisconsin freshness standard, and the peppers bring the crunch that makes every bite interesting.
8. Bacon
Bacon has surged up America’s pizza topping rankings over the past decade, cementing itself in the top ten with good reason. Its smoky depth, salty richness, and satisfying crunch add a dimension that transforms pizzas from good to genuinely craveable.
At Eaton’s, bacon gets the full dedication it deserves on the Bacon Lover’s.
Bacon Lover's Pizza
The Bacon Lover’s is beautifully restrained with Light Sausage, Pepperoni, and Bacon, each cured meat given space to shine without fighting for attention. The real difference? When you bake it fresh at home, the bacon crisps the way it’s meant to. No soggy bottom. Just a perfectly crisped, smoke-forward pizza that justifies the name entirely.
9. Pineapple
Pineapple on pizza may be the most hotly debated topping in American food culture but the Hawaiian consistently ranks among the most ordered pizzas in the country year after year. The sweet-and-savory contrast it creates with salty meats isn’t a mistake or a gimmick. It’s flavor science. And for millions of Americans, the debate has long been settled.
At Eaton’s, the Hawaiian keeps it honest and wins the argument.
Hawaiian Pizza
Eaton’s keeps the Hawaiian honest: Canadian Bacon and Pineapple, fresh and uncluttered. Baked in your own oven, the pineapple caramelizes gently against the heat, its brightness intensifying rather than fading, a quality you only get from take and bake freshness. Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, this is the version that converts people.
10. Jalapeños
Jalapeños have climbed America’s pizza popularity charts faster than almost any other topping, driven by a national appetite for heat, acidity, and bold flavor. They bring a bright, vinegary kick that cuts through rich cheese and sauce in a way that makes every other flavor more vivid. For heat-seekers, they’re not optional, they’re essential.
At Eaton’s, jalapeños have a home on the Nacho and we dare you to try it.

Eaton’s leans into the heat trend with full commitment on the Nacho, a wild, crunchy creation built on Nacho Cheese and Salsa Sauce with Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Tortilla Chips. And the menu says it plainly: “We dare you to try it with Jalapeños.” That’s not a warning. That’s an invitation. Accept it.
