Each Zodiac Sign’s Favorite Pizza Topping, According To An Astrologer

Aries is the sign of war, which is why the zodiac needs to fuel up with some protein, specifically pepperoni. Not only does it give them energy, but Aries also like their food “spicy and compact so it can be eaten quickly before the run back into battle,” according to Ms. Charlotte.

Taureans are notorious for their love of the finer things in life, so it’s only fitting that their go-to topping would be truffles. “Truffles are for only the finest of pizzas; with their rich, earthy, nutty flavor they heighten the dining experience,” explains Ms. Charlotte. “This topping is expensive due to its scarcity and they are grown seasonally under difficult conditions which appeals to the Taurean’s great high-end taste.”

Because Geminis are seemingly always hanging out with their friends, “it’s important they pick a [topping] that nobody will argue about,” Ms. Charlotte shares. “Tomato sauce base adds both sweetness and richness to the pizza without alienating anybody at the party.” Not to mention, Geminis are always looking for a meal they can eat on the run, and you can never go wrong with a plain pizza.

Cheese pizza is the ultimate comfort food, so it’s no wonder why Cancers love it so much. “Cancer is the sign of the home and mother so they prefer a savory topping that is both comforting and rich,” says Ms. Charlotte.

The astrologer also points out that extra cheese is a topping that very few family members are going to object to and making sure the fam is getting along is a must for the water sign.

Leo is represented by the lion, so the sign’s favorite topping has to be suitable for the top predator of the animal kingdom. Ms. Charlotte believes the only topping that meets this requirement is bacon, saying, “The sweet, salty, and smoky flavor of bacon appeals to [Leos’] carnivorous instincts. It bulks up and adds some color to the humble pizza.”

Virgos prefer their toppings to serve a purpose, which is why arugula meets all of their needs. The topping not only “compliments the sweet, rich sauce and heaviness of the meat,” but it’s a light addition as well.

As a sign driven by luxury, Libras are likely to order a topping that elevates a pizza from “cheap take-out to something more glamorous,” like caramelized onions, per Ms. Charlotte.

As a sign ruled by the fire planet Mars, Scorpios aren’t afraid of a little heat. That’s why chili is the ideal topping for the sign, whether it be oil, sauce, or flakes. “If a pizza is a little too bland or boring you can always trust a Scorpio to add some [spice-induced] pain to make it more interesting,” says Ms. Charlotte.

Sagittarians are always down for something new, making them rather adventurous foodies. Instead of choosing a conventional topping, the fire sign gravitates towards the option that represents their love of travel and adventure the most: shrimp. “Because seafood pizza is something distantly European, the adding of shrimp/prawns makes this Americanized dish a little more exotic,” says Ms. Charlotte. And that’s exactly what a Sag wants.

Capricorns love a dirty martini, so it’s no wonder their topping of choice is olives. Ms. Charlotte says this is because the “distinct salty and tangy topping adds flavor to the pizza without making it too expensive or excessive,” and as the sign of money, this is a huge selling point for a Capricorn.

Pineapple on pizza is a highly contentious subject, but that doesn’t scare Aquarians. In fact, it’s what makes them drawn to the polarizing topping, as they are the sign of “rebellion, revolution, chaos, weirdness, and the unexpected,” says Ms. Charlotte. “Adding pineapple to pizza is considered a sacrilegious act [to some], but Aquarius don’t like tradition, do they?” Someone has to be the provocateur of the group, and it’s usually an Aquarius.

Because Pisces is represented by fish, it makes sense the water sign’s go-to pizza topping would be anchovies. The sign is also open to “different tastes and flavors,” and the umami mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty is right up Pisces’ alley, claims Ms. Charlotte.
