Thou shalt order pizza in the following manner ....

[unixronin]

Seriously, fruitylips has some very good suggestions here on how to order pizza... and, specifically, how not to order pizza.

Personally, I always hated combo pizzas anyway.  They always look like someone basically swept the counter and called it pizza topping.  The more shit you pile on a single pizza, the more likely it is at least someone will not like something that's on there, or, as fruitylips noted, that you will achieve a pizza no-one in the room is willing to eat.

I personally love combo pizzas, especially veggie or mixed veggie-and-meat combos (I tend to find all-meat combos a bit overpowering). However, when ordering in a group, I will only suggest (not demand) a combo, and will eat just about anything (I prefer sausage to pepperoni, but will eat the latter; I prefer that my pizza not have jalapeno or anchovy, but will pick them off if others want them).

In general, when it comes to food, I'm pretty easy to get along with.

I'm amused at the American way of having boring, one-topping pizza. I'd probably still eat it though.

I'm amused at the idea of cheese pizza. I feel like asking what the point is.

Reasonable assurance that at least some people will be willing to eat it, I suppose.

Personally, my strategy is "If you don't already know the preferences of the people who'll be eating, ask them."
