What your favourite pizza toppings say about your love interests, and it’s bad news if you like pineapple on your pizza

IF YOU fancy blondes, then the chances are pepperoni is your favourite pizza topping - while fans of redheads tend to go for meaty toppings, according to a study.

A poll of 2,000 adults identified the correlation between their go-to pizza and what they find attractive in a prospective partner.

And it emerged those who would go for someone with blonde hair - such as Margot Robbie or Ryan Reynolds - also tend to be fans of pepperoni pizzas.

Meat feast fans prefer redheads like Ed Sheeran and Emma Stone.

While admirers of those with black hair, such as Idris Elba, would be the perfect date for those with a penchant for tuna on pizza.

Commissioned by Domino's, which is offering a special Valentine's Day only deal, the study found 55% would opt for pizza on at least one of their first three dates.

And a fifth are planning to enjoy a few slices this Valentine’s Day.

Dom Juan, ‘Pizza-in-Chief’ at Domino’s, said: “Our research proves there’s a strong link between dough and dating.

“But anyone searching for true love knows how tricky those first few dates can be, so we’ve done the hard work for you.

“All you now need is to ask them the one delicious, doughy question… what’s your favourite pizza?

“Let’s be honest, pizza is and always will be love at first slice.”

The study found six in ten believe the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, with 55% claiming a shared love of food is something they look for in a partner.

And for one in ten, finding someone who is specifically a fan of pizza is so important to them they’ve mentioned the classic Italian dish on their online dating profile.

While this form of food appears to be safe option on a date, some of those polled are particular about potential partners’ pizza preferences.

Of those polled, 15% claim they wouldn’t date someone who ate pizza with a knife and fork.

More than one in six wouldn’t go out with someone who leaves the crusts, and 17% would be put off by someone who likes pineapple on their pizza.

While 21% and 23% feel the same respectively about those who go for tuna and anchovies as toppings.

Carried out through OnePoll, the study found those polled are also particular about sharing a pizza or having one all to themselves, but there isn’t a common consensus.

Almost four in ten would be fine sharing but 35% would not be keen.

But the vast majority (78%) would be open to swapping a slice of their pizza in exchange for a piece of their date’s.
