you should always dump every foodstuff in the household onto a pizza to maximize nutritional value

considering that you can judge the quality of a pizzeria on their pizza margherita, ordering them is essential.

it is the yardstick by which I judge a pizza place and is my most ordered pizza

Margherita is great but it's different from cheese pizza.

I rarely go for a margherita myself because it's just not enough food for a growing boy like me, and it gets cold quickly (I am not a cold pizza guy), but it can be completely fantastic when I'm not that hungry and when basic is exactly what I'm after
as for using a margherita as a yardstick by which to judge a pizzeria's fundamentals, I guess so, but this seems more theoretical than practical, if I want to check out a new band I go with the album that has the song I like, not the album with the most stripped-down arrangement & production

Maturity is discovering that the fundamental pizza is margherita and not pepperoni.
― Eazy, Monday, 6 November 2017 16:44 (six years ago) link
I would happily eat a margherita but would never order one. Likewise, would never order pasta with just marinara. It's a good start to a good dish but pretty boring as a finished product.
xp 100% agree w/Tom

"I've eaten 100 pizzas from this place but I couldn't tell you if the place is any good since none of those was a margherita"

Having heard ledge's explanation I'd consider voting 'yes' twice: it's definitely the pizza that's the safest to make because absolutely everyone will be willing to polish it off after a few pints.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 6 November 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
if you're going thru the trouble of making a pizza, why not throw actual toppings on to increase the nutritional value
If you're going to the trouble of making a pizza, why ruin it with nutritional toppings that would be better off eaten as a side dish? Put those vegetables in a salad or something.
Margherita the same as a cheese pizza? Supposed to have tomato chunks on it? This discussion should be closed to people not based in New York or Italy.
Give the options ledge posted, I would definitely order a margherita. Maybe pepperoni if I was having an unusual craving.

― Pope Urban the Legend (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 November 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
I agree. Toppings should add to the deliciousness of the pizza, not "ruin it". I have a feeling we'd disagree as to what constitutes a pizza being ruined, tho.

I don't know if I've ever seen a legitimate margherita available by the slice. It's generally the very difference cheese pizza that's available by the slice. I suspect a margherita slice wouldn't take as well to reheating; margherita pies also don't hold together as well as a cheese pie which I imagine would make it more difficult to sell by the slice.
