A video of an unusual pizza order has gone viral on TikTok, where it had over 764,000 views at the time of publication.
The clip, shared by TikTok user Kieran (@_kierang) and credited to the account @k1g930 (which appears to no longer exist), showed a worker in a shirt bearing the Domino's Pizza logo assembling what appeared to be a pan of plain baked pizza dough inside a cardboard delivery box. The pizza base was topped only with a few drizzles of a sauce.
The footage was posted with a caption that read: "No sauce, no cheese, burger sauce though [crying laughing emoji and one eyebrow raised emoji]."
While the customer in the video appears to prefer none of the traditional trimmings, Americans certainly love their pizza toppings, with Italian being the country's favorite cuisine, according to a recent YouGovAmerica survey.
The survey of 6,168 U.S. adults conducted between February 3 and 4 in 2021 found that the country's favorite pizza topping is pepperoni, with two-thirds of Americans (64 percent) choosing the spicy salami topping.
Other favorites included sausage (56 percent), mushrooms (54 percent), extra cheese (52 percent) and onions (48 percent).
Among the least popular ones, more than half (61 percent) said anchovies were the topping they most disliked, while around half (52 percent) said they don't like eggplant on their pizza.
Just under half (44 percent) of those surveyed disliked artichoke pizza, while 39 percent aren't keen on broccoli pizza. More than a third (35 percent) said they don't like the "ever-controversial" pineapple on their pizza, while 26 percent said they do, the survey found.
