Since the Stone Age, pizza has been an integral part of the Italian diet. Freshly baked and garnished with a variety of topping options, pizza has remained a popular fan favorite for cultures across the world. Although the original recipes call for a simple pairing of tomato sauce and cheese, topping combinations have since then allowed for a wide range of customization based on personal preference.
One of the first notable customizations was for Margherita pizza, which was invented per the request of Queen Margherita of Savoy. The colors of the cheese, tomato sauce, and basil were meant to represent the colors of the Italian flag; a tradition that carries on today.
From plain cheese to meat or veggie lovers, everyone has a favorite pizza combo. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or looking to invent your own combination, the possibilities are endless. Here are 5 of our favorite pizza topping combinations on our menu at Aversano’s in Sumner, Washington:
The Aversano’s Special
Our house specialty! The Aversano’s Special reflects a collection of classic Italian flavors with pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, olives, onions, green pepper, beef, and sausage.
New York Style
This pizza offers a twist on the traditional pepperoni. Complete with sauteed mushrooms, pepperoni slices, sliced hot link sausage, and garnished with chopped garlic on a thin crust, the New York is a real crowd-pleaser.
Classic Cheese
A true fan favorite, our classic cheese pizza is crafted with fresh mozzarella and provolone cheese on our house-made dough. Simple and timeless, the classic cheese pizza is a great option for families.
Grilled Chicken and Garlic
To try something a little different, we offer our grilled chicken and garlic pizza that uses a creamy cheese sauce in place of traditional marinara. This pizza features grilled chicken, freshly-chopped garlic, sauteed mushrooms, red onions, roma tomatoes, and green peppers.
Pepperoni
Another classic, our pepperoni pizza is made with fresh mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni. Consider adding extra meat or olives to customize it into your own version of a classic.
