Toppings?
Sorry for the delay! I was in the middle of replying before the site went down.
Ok so the pizza was called The Inferno, and it was the classic spicy pepperoni / chilli / American Hot variant. It's actually not pepperoni here in Spain, but a spicy version of chorizo, of course. I got it as a take away from a bar here in the village where I am currently in the Valencian region (I'm back here now for a couple of weeks, having spent a month in a fab hippy hangout in Almeria, where you can stay for free in exchange for two to three hours work a day around the house, cooking, cleaning, in the garden, whatever needs doing.) This bar, called Pelut, has a pizza and kebab place inside it! You can literally get drunk, then have a kebab or pizza, without having to go anywhere. It would be Willo's dream pub! In the winter, the two kebab burners and clay pizza oven keep the place warm. In the summer, you sit outside in the street, with a fabulous mountain view.
The guy that owns the place also owns an Indian restaurant in a local town, Oliva, so the hot sauce is homemade and it is fabulous. (in Spanish, this is
casero - home-made) I don't why they don't bottle it and sell it! (well I do, this is Spain, and they do the bare minimum to tick over, rather than chasing every possible dollar.) When I order take away from here, it's a military operation to get back up the mountain to the retreat before they get too cold. I pay the bill early, hovering near the serving place, then make a mad drive up the mountain (it takes about 12 mins.)
