MEETING 42: Agenda Item 3 - Quantifying Pizza Toppings

Quantifying Pizza Toppings: A Scientific Study

Dr. Jane Smith, Lead Researcher, Pizza Institute

Summary: This presentation aims to provide an in-depth analysis of pizza topping quantities, exploring the optimal balance between sauce, cheese, and various meat/vegetable combinations.

1. 2.5 Salami to Mozzarella Ratio: Our team has found that for every 1 unit of mozzarella, 2.5 units of salami are required for maximum flavor and satisfaction.
2. 3.2 Pepperoni to Mushroom Ratio: A ratio of 3.2 pepperoni slices to every 1 mushroom ensures an acceptable balance of spicy and earthy flavors.
3. Sauce-to-Crust Ratio: Our research indicates that a 1:1.5 sauce-to-crust ratio is ideal, providing the perfect amount of moisture without compromising the structural integrity of the crust.

Future Research Directions:

We propose further investigation into the effects of different topping combinations and their impact on pizza enjoyment. Potential future research areas include:

• 3.0 Olives to Artichoke Ratio
• 4.0 Basil to Oregano Ratio
