Dutch lifestyle magazine Dailybase analysed the number of monthly searches in the UK for 50 different pizza toppings. The most popular topping were:
- Pepperoni: 8,682.50 average monthly searches
- Anchovy: 4,786.67
- Chicken: 3,014.17
- Pineapple: 2,303.33
- Mozzarella: 2,015.00
Daniël de Voer, chief editor of Dailybase, said: "One of the reasons why pizza is so popular is how versatile it can be; you can completely customise your toppings to fit your tastes and create a pizza unique to you. It is fascinating to discover which toppings are the most popular in each country.
“We can see plenty of influence from different cuisines across Europe, not just from Italy, such as the Mediterranean with the additions of feta, olives, and fish and even Turkish food, like doner meat making the list in some areas. With summer in full swing, if there's a topping on the list you haven't tried before, now is the perfect time to see what the hype is about."
