Definitely. If the toppings are at too high a level, you'd be like "this is just a big pile of toppings. Where is the pizza??"

True, but what if the toppings were mustard instead of tomato sauce, yogurt instead of cheese, and Skittles and banana chips and fortune cookies for toppings. Is it still a pizza?

On some level my acceptance of the pizza does depend on thematically appropriate toppings which I take for granted. There's room for a weird topping or two but if you subvert all expectations, one risks not being pizza at all.

But it's 2024 y'all, the pizza's orientation shouldn't matter ;D
