When it came to pizza nights at my house growing up, there was always the inevitable argument over what topping we would get.
Sometimes one of us would win out, while other times we would compromise and split the pizza half-and-half.
But through all those topping disputes, it never dawned on me that our topping preferences might actually be saying something about our personalities.
According to Medical Daily, "Eating preferences can be a doorway to your personality." This makes sense since taste is so intricately connected to the central nervous system, which is responsible for everything from our emotions to our behavior.
And just as the way you eat can reveal secrets to your personality, what you eat can say just as much!
Scroll through this exclusive list below to see exactly what your favorite pizza topping says about you. And if you are a fan of more than one topping, you may just possess the personality elements of both.
I was actually stunned by how accurate my description was. I may never think about pizza night the same way again!
What did your topping preference reveal about you? Were your results as accurate as mine? Let us know in the comments.
Plain Pizza
Reliable, Steadfast, Concerned
So what if you don't want any toppings on your pizza? What's wrong with just cheese and sauce?
Your plain preference shows that you are someone who knows how to stand your ground and stick to your guns.
Liking plain pizza doesn't make you predictable, it makes you reliable and dependable.
This preference also indicates that you may worry a little too much, and may need to work on breaking out of your comfort zone a little bit more.
Hawaiian Pizza
Laid-back, Self-Confident, Quirky
Some people absolutely love the mix of sweet and savory on a Hawaiian pizza. After all, who doesn't love pineapple and ham?
This topping shows that you have a lackadaisical approach to life, not getting bogged down with worry or anxiety.
You aren't necessarily cocky, but you are comfortable with who you are as a person.
But it also takes a special type of person to appreciate the Hawaiian flavors. Your friends and family likely enjoy your quirky flair and unique personality.
Anchovy Pizza
Bold, Unafraid, Stubborn
If anchovy pizza is your favorite, you are a rare breed indeed. But doesn't everyone else know what they're missing?
It truly requires a sense of boldness to order something as distinct (and unpopular) as anchovies.
You aren't scared to go for what you want, both in pizza ordering and in life.
You may want to watch out that you don't let stubbornness get the best of you. Injecting a healthy dose of flexibility into your life may be just what the doctor ordered.
Mushroom Pizza
Open, Earthy, Giving
For some, there is nothing quite like a pizza covered in delicious, fresh mushrooms.
If you are a mushroom lover, you are likely an open person, who is easy to talk with and relate to.
Some may make fun of you for your "earthiness," but just because you have an appreciation for animals and nature doesn't mean you're necessarily a hippie.
People likely flock to you because you are so giving of your time, energy, and love.
Pepperoni Pizza
Caring, Uncomplicated, Fun
Pepperoni is probably the most popular of all the toppings. And with just the right amount of spice, what's not to like?
If you are a pepperoni fan, you are likely someone who cares deeply about your loved ones.
Your friends and family flock to you because you don't enjoy "drama" the way some others do. Even if you sometimes fail, you strive for an uncomplicated, drama-free existence.
But uncomplicated doesn't mean simple. You've definitely got a fun side. Just make sure you aren't afraid to let it show.
Sausage and Pepper Pizza
Balanced, Receptive, Insightful
Sausage and peppers are the yin and yang of pizza toppings. The meat and the veggies balance each other perfectly.
Likewise, you lead (or aim to lead) a balanced lifestyle, perfectly juggling your personal and professional life.
Unlike some of your colleagues, you are receptive to criticism and new suggestions.
After all, they can only make you a better person. And people likely come to you for advice because of your incredible insights.
Extra Cheese Pizza
Driven, Indulgent, Goal-Oriented
The best part of pizza is the cheese, right? So why not pile on as much as possible?
Loading on the extra cheese shows that you are not afraid to have a lot on your plate.
You know what you want in life, and you don't hesitate in striving for those goals.
But your affinity for cheese likely also reveals your more indulgent side. You are a person who enjoys feeding your five senses, reveling in all of life's little pleasures.
Meat Lovers Pizza
Brash, Proud, Outspoken
Nothing makes a statement quite like a pizza loaded up with as much meat as humanly possible.
Your meat lovers preference shows that you are loud and proud.
You are very vocal about your feelings and your opinions. After all, you have nothing to hide.
You possess a strong sense of pride, either for your family, your nation, or your accomplishments. You love who you are and all that you've been able to achieve in life.
Veggie Lovers Pizza
Sensitive, Secretive, Surprising
Who doesn't love a fresh vegetable? So why not load your pizza with as many as you can?
A veggie lover may be sensitive, but it doesn't mean you're a baby. You just have easy access to your emotions, and there's nothing wrong with that.
You don't necessarily broadcast everything you're feeling with the world.
However, it may do you some good to practice sharing with others. You possess a secret fire and boldness that will surprise the world if you allow yourself to let it out.
Specialty Pizza
Creative, Wild, Adventurous
Who needs a boring "normal" topping when you can put literally anything on your pizza?
If you like to order something new and strange for your pizza, you are someone who loves to access your creative side.
You have a vast imagination, and it can sometimes go a little wild. You likely love to dance, cut loose, and get a little crazy.
As an adventurous person, others likely look to you for a fun time or when they are trying to break out of their shells. You are an inspiration to both friends and family.
"The Works" Pizza
Indecisive, Welcoming, Excited
Why pick just one topping when you can have them all?
You may just be a bit indecisive, struggling to make even the littlest of decisions. But this likely comes from a fear of missing out if you make the wrong choice.
You are simultaneously a very welcoming individual, who likes to make everyone feel at home.
With every topping on one pizza, there certainly is something for everyone. You also have a hunger for life and an excitement that is an inspiration to those around you.
Paying attention to your food choices, specifically your pizza toppings, can reveal an enormous amount about your personality.
