Pepperoni, roast chicken, and the controversial pineapple, are among the most ordered additional pizza toppings, Domino’s has revealed. This year, there were a staggering 8,062,682 requests for extra pepperoni, and 6,641,509 for roast chicken, at the chain’s 1,200-plus outlets.<\/p>\n

And despite the fierce debate about pineapple on pizza, there were 3,633,505 orders for more of it \u2013 making the topping more popular than extra cheese, and jalapenos.<\/p>\n

Research of 2,000 adults, commissioned by the high-street pizza chain, also found there remains a firm divide as to whether the fruit belongs on the Italian delicacy.<\/p>\n

Nearly half (48 percent) said the exotic fruit does have a place on a pizza \u2013 with 30 percent disagreeing, and the remaining 22 percent indifferent to the debate.<\/p>\n

Pineapple even adds to the notorious North-South divide \u2013 with South Wales, particularly the town of Caerphilly, adding the most pineapple across the nation per capita, the internal data showed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Northerners stand against pineapple, with Sunderland and South Shields adding the least per capita.<\/p>\n

Tastes vary drastically across the nation, with the North West handling their heat as hot sauce fanatics, more than any other region (16 percent) \u2013 while their North East neighbours prefer the cool and classic garlic and herb dip as the ultimate crust dunker.<\/p>\n

Yorkshire and The Humber stick to traditions with a tomato sauce base, but those in Northern Ireland get more adventurous when they need a post-hangover pick-me-up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And London consumes more pizza than any other region, with the average person tucking in to it three times a month. However, the South East takes first place for the biggest single order \u2013 a dizzying 1,163 pizzas.<\/p>\n

Sam Wilson, of Domino’s, said: \u201cUnboxing the UK\u2019s pizza preferences has been as delightful and exciting as opening the lid on your favourite meal.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only have we uncovered the country’s favourite pizza choices, but we might finally have an answer to the question that pizza fans have argued over for decades \u2013 does pineapple belong on pizza?<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd all thanks to the people of Caerphilly. Not only do they make cracking cheese, but they know their pizza toppings, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s pineapple or no pineapple, pepperoni or plain old cheese and tomato, there\u2019s no right or wrong way to enjoy your pizza. If anything, the research highlights there\u2019s more ways than ever to enjoy a slice of the action.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a proven mood-booster on match days, or satisfying the weird and wonderful tastes of the nation, it can\u2019t be denied pizza is the ultimate crowd pleaser.\u201d<\/p>\n
