There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.
Pizza is primarily a bread first. Toppings are only an enhancement of said bread. And if the bread sucks, the whole pizza sucks and no combination of toppings will save it.
As someone who got really into making pizza for a while:
Season the crust more than the sauce and you'll be able to use a cheap premade sauce with a tiny bit of work without anyone ever noticing
If the bread sucks, flip it, peel away the crust. Boom. Keto pizza.
That's just chaos.
I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others... I still wonder how much better my life would be if I'd had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme...
I was heavily on your side untill the comma, man. Margherita is delicious and the ultimate test of the chef as there is nowhere to hide mistakes.
Does it qualify if I add basil after the cook?
Fresh basil absolutely counts. I love margherita, but the thing with margherita is that you need an amazing crust for it to be a good pizza. That’s not really a surprise at all, but even a terrible crust can be redeemed with a mountain of good toppings.
And my statement is not about gatekeeping a pizza, in fact quite the opposite. Pizza is such a low bar that, yes, even Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza is better than no pizza. Great pizzas will have great crust and a wise combination of toppings, but a good pizza can be a mediocre crust with a kitchen sink on top. That’s basically what I order at MOD pizza everytime I go; just put everything on there, chief.
