I worked in a pizza restaurant for 20 years & 8 days. At one point, I concurrently worked at a 2nd pizza place (for a few months). I returned and worked 80-something more hours during 1 week at that pizza place.

It was calculated that the number of slices of pizza I had either made or served was well over one million.

I *NEVER* had a customer request ketchup for their pizza.
Blue cheese: common
Ranch dressing: fairly common
hot peppers to just put on top of the cooked pizza: fairly common

ketchup: NEVER

cold, raw mushrooms: rarely (on cooked pizza. Wanting it as a topping, regularly, of course.) In fact, I kinda liked just putting the cold mushrooms straight from the can on top of pizza just out of the oven.

So, consider than several 10's of thousands of votes for "no." (A lot of repeat customers 😛 )

Anyone who answered "yes" to your poll is just goofing around. (Well, either that or they're exceptionally weird.)

im gonna agree here, ive never heard of this, and it would prob make me vomit
 
Back in High School and Middle School we regularly added ketchup to the pizza. I have not placed it on any other type of pizza.

I put ketchup on my pizza. I also put on extra cheese, so it's a bit of extra cheese + a bit of extra sauce.

If ketchup is your idea of extra sauce, then Cheez Whiz would have to be your idea of extra cheese, and toasted cardboard your idea of a crust.

 
I remember doing this on the pizza in middle school, it was basically like eating mushy cardboard otherwise but beyond that I've not done it since.

I have NEVER personally witnessed this, nor have I ever even heard of such a barbaric practice, and for this I am grateful.

Is this a Canadian thing, like using moose piss intead of milk on your corn flakes?

WTF

I know of no one that puts ketchup on pizza.

in Canada, our cornflakes have milk; from a bag.


 
I thought I posted in here 😕

Anyway, I like ketchup as much as the next guy, but on pizza? Blech.

And kudos to the OP for using "yea" in the poll.
 
This poll is a totally serious question. One of my relatives uses ketchup as dipping when they eat pizza. And they dip their slice in a bit of ketchup for almost every bite.

EDIT: Wow, 10/89 people said yes. Assuming that half of those are actual "Yea!" votes and not done as a joke, that's still significant.

41. And, primarily math (calculus, pre-calculus); I only have 1 section of physics (and 1 period of physics labs each day). I'd still be working part time at the pizza shop though, if it wasn't 25 minutes away. In fact, I've entertained the idea of working a few days/nights this summer just for something to do. A significant number of the employees there have "real" jobs: policeman, accountant, CAD draftsman, electrician (or some sort of electrical title), banker. For all those guys, it's just sort of a hobby.

That has to be the most literate pizza shop workforce ever, though the banker/pizza maker link is obvious: dough.

I'll even bet you're all legal citizens 'n all. 😉
