Pizza Power tourney; Eliminations pool 1

[DragonKnight Zero]

Name change to sound less dumb and to sneak a game reference into a tourney that has nothing to do with video games

Welcome all to a pizza toppings tourney.  It's both a celebration of diversity in the DL members as well as a contest that a group will (hopefully) never agree on, the best pizza toppings.

With 24 entries, voting in eliminations rounds will work a bit different.  Contrary to usual, here the idea is to vote for one selection in each group you like the least.  At the end of the voting period (the usual 7 days with maybe a few extra hours), the selection with the most votes in each set of three will be eliminated before the next round.  You're free to disregard this though DragonKnightbot makes no distinction and will simply boot whatever has been selected most.

Given the topic, discussion nay become rather spirited.  This is welcomed and encouraged.  Please do keep it civil towards other posters though.

Voting form -

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Margherita does not use tomato sauce if I recall correctly.

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant  Own nom bias, the eggplant doesn't sound terrible though.  Would be hard pressed to get me to try it if other options exist though no active dislike.
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni  I won't touch chain sausage but good Italian sausage I'd be more willing to try out.  No strong preference between the other two.  I won't eat beef so that ends up deciding it for me.
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions  Chicken and onions is the clear winner for me.  I'm a strange person who's just not into pepperoni unless I'm hungry enough.
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)  Another tough choice.  Margherita is delicious and I know I want it to advance to the next round.  Coinflippy between the others; both seem OK to me and the vote is based on factors outside taste or flavor itself.  Though I haven't tried either so not much I can say there.

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni- Sausage is my absolute favorite food (Cue heart attack).
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions- Is a classic for a reason.
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)- Fish on pizza is wrong but that sounds good.

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Four unshakable classics here. I should remark my absolute favorite pizza is Pepperoni + Green Peppers.

Edit: fixed because I didn't read the OP. The hardest vote for me was the last one. All 3 are good options.

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant

Never tried fried eggplant, but it doesn't sound bad, peppers kill pizza though.

Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni

Peppers kill pizza though!!

Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions

I like all of these... onions I like the least I guess.

White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Again, these are all good, but shrimp is a dealbreaker in that combo.

[Ranmilia]

By the way this is VOTE FOR WHICH ONE YOU LIKE THE LEAST

[Random Consonant]

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant

Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
I'm a strange person who isn't into onions, this isn't actually a bad combo but eh.

Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
Even less into mushrooms than I am into onions.

White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant
Ugh...so...batter fried eggplant probably is good, though the sauce and other items may play a role in that.  I've never had it on a pizza before, and I know the other 2 are good (PEPPERS DO NOT KILL PIZZA!), so, while I feel bad voting against something I don't know intimately, it's the weakest option to me

Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
So, since the "good Italian sausage" was specified, Pepperoni is the weakest here by far.  Unless you use turkey pepperoni or something, it can look unappetizingly greasy.  It tastes fine (unless it's uber fatty), but the others also taste good, and have more robust flavour combinations

Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
Mushrooms are AWESOME, and I hate to vote against them, but pepperoni.  Chicken with onions is awesome (I also love it with PEPPERS for the chicken cheesesteak thing).  Sundried tomatoes are fantastic, as are regular diced tomatoes. 

White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)
Man, the first is good - I've had it before.  But the other 2 are classic standby styles of pizza, and are awesomeness incarnate.  Tough draw.

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant - Green peppers are good, but not sufficient by themselves.
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions - Sundried tomatoes are gross and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant
Never tried, but I'd be willing to try eggplant on pizza, sure. Green peppers on thier lonesome are not that great.

Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni
I actuallyd on't much like pepperoni

Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
Jenna's favorite pizza, but I like the tomatoes and chicken+onion better

White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)
hey look a poison pizza

And the biggest losers are:

Canadian bacon or Green peppers or Batter fried eggplant  A two-way tie between green peppers and batter fried eggplant with an even 50-50 split  Tiebroken by Elfboy
Beef, onions, and green peppers or Sausage (good Italian sausage, not chain stuff) or Pepperoni Another two way tie between beef, onions, and green peppers and pepperoni.  This time the third option got votes.  Tiebreak by Elfboy vote
Pepperoni and mushrooms or Sundried tomatoes or Chicken and onions
White pizza with pesto, shrimp, and tomatoes or Ricotta cheese + fresh garlic or Margherita (mozzerella, basil, and tomato)

Canadian bacon and margherita are the big winners of the field slipping through without being selected once.  Congrats, even if it doesn't grant special treatment in future rounds.

[Dark Holy Elf]

If I can, I'll tiebreak against batter fried eggplant and pepperoni because green peppers are a top-tier pizza topping.
