Pepperoni is the most-ordered pizza topping, followed by onions and sausage, according to DoorDash. The company said orders with caramelized onions are up more than 120% year-over-year, and that pineapple toppings beat olives, bacon, chicken and ham.\n\nRuth Isenstadt, Head of U.S. Restaurants at DoorDash, said: \"What I love about pizza is how local it is. Every neighborhood has a spot people are fiercely loyal to.\" She added that the list celebrates restaurants that earn loyalty order after order and the people behind them.\n\nBaby Doll Pizza serves New York-style pizza made from scratch dough, sauces and cheeses, with locally sourced vegetables and house-made meats such as brisket and sausages among its toppings, according to its DoorDash description. Its most-ordered items are the margherita pizza, the Italian sausage, caramelized onions and garlic pizza, and the white pizza with mozzarella, ricotta, caramelized onions, garlic and a sesame crust. It has locations along SE Stark St. and NE MLK Blvd. at Old Town Brewing.\n\nRudy's Gourmet Pizza was opened in 2006 in Portland by co-owner Rudy Medina, according to its DoorDash description. Its most-ordered menu items include the Pineapple Vegan Ru, elephant ears and the vegan RIP City Ru, which features red sauce, vegan pepperoni, vegan sausage, grilled onions, black olives and roasted garlic. The restaurant is located along SE Powell Blvd.\n\n## DoorDash's Scale Behind the Pizza List\n\nDoorDash operates a three-sided delivery marketplace connecting consumers, merchants and independent delivery drivers across food, grocery, convenience, beauty and retail, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).
