My choice pizza has double pepperoni, spicy sausage, green peppers, tomato slices, and onions.

But where's the CHEESE? This pizza lover wants to know!

Wow Dennis that looks great. In my AO people will pay 50 bucks for a pizza that looks like that.
My daughter instilled in me the dictum of pizza stratification: (from the bottom up)
Crust
Sauce
Cheese
Toppings
Rest assured the cheese is luxurious in quantity; it's invisible because of the plethora of toppings
That sounds good to me, too!My choice pizza has double pepperoni, spicy sausage, green peppers, tomato slices, and onions.

Saved, to glorify God.
You missed it too.
I also, did not realize we had two members named Dennis.

Not sure when or why the change occured but toppings should always go under the cheese. All pizzas used to be made that way.
The Dennis of the OP is not the crusty ol' curmudgeon we all know and (?) love.
A personal decision of course, but consider: if the toppings are under the cheese, they will not receive the blessed browning effect they get from direct exposure to heat.

Neither here nor there.
Used to live with an italian family, as in fresh off the boat, when I was a nanny, it was crust then cheese then sauce then toppings.
Interesting. Might have to try that.
Looks fantastic!
When I doctor a pizza, I add just a bit of cheese on top at the last. Not enough to cover the toppings. Just a enough to “glue” everything down.

I too sprinkle a light dusting of grated parmesan as a finishing touch pre-oven.
Plus another sprinkle at serving time. What cheese do you finish with?

A sprinkle of Kraft 5 cheese pizza blend. Parm at serve time if I’m in the mood.
Here’s my build:
If I start with frozen
Add seasonings
Add thick layer of various cheeses.

I don't want to see a picture of anything you've thrown up twice.

Pecorino Romano, either grated or shaved.
Sometimes I use Asiago

Same here, just enough to glue everything down. Not much at all. Finish with Pecorino Romano and red pepper flakes at the table.

There's a place here that makes pizza like this, best pizza around!

Try freshly grated romano!
Pepper flakes? Don't get me started on pepper flakes. Oh, wait ... there's a thread about that:
CHAT - Hi! My name is DennisD and I'm addicted to pepper flakes
Our fearless leader DennisO recently confessed to his pizza addiction. Now, I must own up to my own compulsion: I love hot spice! For many years I have been consuming mass quantities of hot sauce: Tabasco, Frank's, Sriracha, etc. I used it to fire up most everything except dessert. Yes – an...

For anyone around Cincinnati/Dayton area there's a place called Two Cities in Mason, Ohio. Yesterday Mom and I went and had THE BEST pizza ever. I've been looking for a pizza pie, and this is IT. It was a good 1" thick Chicago deep dish. The crust wasn't thick but the toppings were. And the crust came up the side just like a pie.
Amazing.
Amazing.

I've been wanting to build a wood fired pizza/bread oven for a long time. Walked into a World Market last week on our run down off the mountain for a medical appointment and found this! (ON SALE!)
A Frog Shaped cement/concrete wood fired pizza oven!
DW loves frogs!! Her favorite critter next to me. So now I just have to build a base and a door for the mouth and we're In Like Flint!
