The rest of the top ten were Quattro Formaggio (four cheese) pizza finishing, with 14%, calzone (12%), prosciutto ham (11%), Fiorentina (spinach and egg) with 10% and Diavolo (hot and spicy) with 6%.

Talking about the research, spokesperson for Goodfella’s Pizza, said: “Our research indicates that the perfect pizza continues to be an important area of discussion for Brits, and we can now reveal that the nation’s best loved pizza is the classic pepperoni.
“With people spending so much time at home, we’ve seen a big increase in demand for frozen pizza and our sales are up 16% compared to last year.
“We’ve also noticed a shift in customer behaviour, as many people are having pizza for a quick and tasty lunch – but are also being more experimental with their topping choices.”
Goodfella’s added: “Saying that, we’re not surprised to see pepperoni topping the nation’s favourite list, as our Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni Pizza has long been a best seller.”
According to the 2,000 Brits surveyed, 11% were adamant that sweetcorn has no place on a pizza, while 15% said the biggest pizza topping crime was adding kebab meat.
