Maybe I’m just being naive, but I always try to change the ratio of carbs and proteins in my pizzas by maximizing ingredients and minimizing crust.

Is that a crime?

    It’s not a crime, but you should also try keeping it basic and see how they come out. You can have fewer number of ingredients (2-3 toppings) but more of them, or you try having more ingredients (5-6 toppings) and less of them.

    For me the simple combinations are better, but that’s also a neapolitan style pizza which doesn’t tend to have a lot of toppings.

    I just got a pizza oven and have been trying to figure out how to get it on and off the peel. I’m doing… fair… but I think amount of toppings has been my biggest issue.

    When I baked them in the oven in a pizza pan, but on a pizza stone, I’d go hard with the toppings.

    It’s your pizza mate. If you like it is the only measure.

    I don’t think you put too much. Sometimes I put more ingredients on my pizzas, depending on what’s in the fridge. With trial and error I know what combines better and what I don’t like.

    IMO it’s moisture management that’s most important. Too many toppings that release moisture is the only real issue. You can navigate that by pre-cooking (sausage/onion/spinach), or if you want something fresh, or a veggie with a bit of snap, put it on part way through the cook (ricotta/green pepper).

    I only do this if I’m going heavy on toppings, but it does help. Yours looks good btw.

    You can have all the toppings you wish. The only problem is when it makes the crust soggy, then you probably have too much. It appears you’re baking on the round pizza pan? If you want that crust darker, preheat another pan in the oven and then place your pizza pan on top of the preheated one. It’ll help to hurry the heat into the bottom of the crust.

    What is the pile on the bottom left of the cutting board?

    Do you like how it turns out? That’s what matters.

    What temp did you cook at?

    It looks like you’ve got it managed well.  I tend to cook at lower temps when I’m doing more toppings to ensure there’s time to cook and we don’t end up with a floppy pizza

    I would prefer that much of those toppings on a larger pie. For that size pie and that many different toppings I think it would be better with less of each, but that’s my preference.

    Also I’d still eat the entire thing.

    It’s water that is your enemy. Pre cook your veggies, especially mushrooms, roast the peppers first. This not only takes away moisture but enhances flavor

    Nope,load it up!!!!!👏🏾👌🏾👍🏾💯😋🤤

  13. This looks fantastic, I’ve definitely used too many toppings it does kind of ruin a pizza.

    Sometimes I like a shit ton of toppings on my pizzas. It’s your pizza and your life. I’d definitely eat that

    It’s more that 4 of these ingredients have very large moisture properties. If you cook mushrooms onions and bell peppers before then you loose some of that moisture and these veggies really don’t over cook especially not in a pizza over for a couple minutes

    Maybe just precook some of those veggies before a little so they get some more color and flavor!

    I think, in general, it’s personal preference and style. But moisture can be a concern.

    Personally I don’t like an overloaded or over flavored pizza, so I try to stick to 2-3 toppings that compliment each other or represent a theme, and I’m not super heavy handed with them.

  18. just_forfunva

    Looks perfect yo me , I use as many or MORE, 525-550 regular oven on the steel for 6-7 minutes and I’ve not had a soggy crust yet!

  19. DialatedConstricted

    Doesn’t matter if you have 1 topping or 50 toppings, as long as you enjoy your pizza that’s all that matters

  20. darkshadowX67890

    Nah it’s your pizza you can add whatever ingredients you like nobody is stopping you

  21. Deepsea2121

    Doesn’t look like it. The key to more toppings is to use less sauce or decrease the temp a bit and go with a longer bake.

  22. SickLossesDude

    Only if you don’t like that many ingredients

  23. Dayzlikethis

    Anything more than what’s on a supreme style is overkill. imo

  24. mrbubblesnatcher

    Nah that’s a healthy yummy pizza! Looks great!

    Id cook the veggies first though, takes out a lot of moisture especially the mushrooms.
