Think a candlelit dinner is the best venue to suss out a date's potential? Well, a new study claims that ordering a good ol' pizza pie can be much more telling. "Pizza-eaters' favorite toppings show a correlation to their behavior," says Alan Hirsch, M.D., lead researcher and director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Commissioned by Domino's Pizza, the study polled 1,000 people between the ages of 18 to 59 about their pizza-eating preferences and behavioral characteristics. Read the findings below to find out what certain toppings say about you, your date, and your future together.
If your date orders one meat topping...
If your date orders multiple meat toppings...
If your date orders one veggie topping...
If your date orders multiple veggies...
If your date orders non-traditional toppings...
Riki Markowitz lives in Brooklyn, NY and prefers pepperoni pizza--but does not consider herself irritable! She's written for Stuff and other magazines.
The Pizza-Love Connection
Brought to you by Riki Markowitz and Match.com!
People who order just pepperoni or sausage on their pie are generally irritable, prone to procrastination, and they often "forget" obligations (like that weekend getaway he or she promised to take with you in the spring).
Compatible with: others who prefer one meat toppin
Real meat lovers who pile on the pepperoni, sausage, and ham tend to be dramatic, seductive, sweep-you-off-your-feet extroverts who thrive as the center of attention.
Compatible with: people who prefer one meat toppin
Those who prefer one vegetable topping are empathetic, easygoing romantics.
Compatible with: everybody!
These dates are trustworthy, loyal, humble, and avoid the spotlight. In fact, they're so quiet and conflict-averse they tend to be taken for granted in relationships.
Compatible with: people who prefer non-traditional toppings
People who prefer offbeat options like pineapple or extra onions tend to be aggressive, ambitious, and competitive. In other words: Don't expect a mellow relationship.

I make a wicked garlic, onion, jalapeno, Tabasco, pepperoni, and bacon pizza. What does that say about me other than I don't date much?
What does that say about me other than I don't date much? LOL!! Hmm extremely nontraditional and in need of breath mints? ;P
No way. You've got to be careful with the veggie people. Just look at Heather Mills.
Sounds zippy - don't forget to brush and gargle before making your move, however. The one Domino's we had here in Austin around twenty-five years ago, was awful. Now we order the PizzaHut Supreme, extra sauce, zero mushrooms, and yes, we have the $9.99 coupon - thank you very much. Chow.
Well, I became "non-traditional" when I moved to the West Coast. Back in NY, it's normal at a pizzeria to order a slice with anchovies topping. Here in California, they think you must've been a cat in a former life to like such a topping.

That is funny.. cause people think I'm 'out there' cause I LIKE anchovies on pizza..Kentuckians arent exactly into anchovies ....
You should've been a New Yorker. ;)

If you've worked in as many pizza places as I did before finishing college, you'd know whats "safe" and what isn't. Pepperoni is safe because it's cheap and they go through it as fast as they can stock it. Bacon is safe it's usually pre-cooked and stores well. Sausage...it costs a lot more than pepperoni and some managers are tempted to keep it past it's experation date to help keep their food costs low. Later I can go into the risks associated with having it delivered...especially if you don't tip the delivery guy.

Bite your tongue, girl !
Good advice. I usually go for a plain slice at the counter.
..wellllll.. I definitely have my reasons for saying that.. and besides Kentuckians just dont like anchovies ;)
If the author lives in Brooklyn, why in the HELL would they pay any attention to a survey commissioned by Domis**t's..Worst excuse for pizza ever as are all chains.
"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." Hmm .. easy article?? I dunno?
I'll bet they keep records and get you next time around, right? Of course all the delivery places here suck so we always get REAL pizza at Joe's which is as good as anything I've ever had in NYC. Good pizza is always worth the DRIVE to pick it up.
"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." Don't expect a mellow children either.

Vinnie's Pizza in the NW burbs of Chicago is pizza to die for. I used to get sausage, spinach, broccoli and sliced tomato. I've had the chance to order it and pick it up while in the big truck since there was a place on the shoulder I could pull over in front of the Palatine store.

I hadn't heard that, but it's one to share with whoever you're with. ;) It does have medicinal properties, I'll swear to that.

The look of the pizza guy and his choice of vocation may not say much in his favor, but they have a long memory when it comes to who tips and who doesn't.

I've had the chance to order it and pick it up while in the big truck since there was a place on the shoulder I could pull over in front of the Palatine store. Oh gosh.. is it the same as Vito & Nick's Deep dish pizza? A friend's daughter goes to DePaul and we we've gone to visit her a few times.. and of course she took us to Vito & Nick's supposedly created Chicago style pizza.. but for me WAY too much food.. the pizza is SO thick.. no way can I eat a slice.

I'm talking thin crust. Deep dish is just too much white bread dough. YUK! But, there are a few good places to get real Chciago deep dish that will knock your socks off. A good thin crust pizza is crispy, but not too crispy. Shakey's was a chain that had a good super thin crust pizza that was almost perfect.

I rarely miss eating fresh garlic every day. It sure puts lead in my pencil. ;0)
