The Great Food Tier List Debates
Pizza toppings, breakfast foods and the eternal fries question — the food rankings that divide the internet.
By Tier List Maker Team ·
No topic sparks tier list arguments quite like food. Here are the debates that never seem to end — and how to settle them at your next gathering.
Pineapple on pizza
The undisputed champion of food controversy. Our tip: make two lists — “pizza toppings I’d order” and “toppings that are technically good” — and watch how differently people rank.
The best way to cook an egg
Scrambled, fried, poached, boiled, baked, omelette. Few lists reveal personality more clearly. Poached tends to split rooms right down the middle.
Fries
Crinkle, curly, waffle, shoestring, steak-cut, wedges. Texture lovers and crispiness purists rarely agree.
Breakfast cereals
Nostalgia does a lot of heavy lifting here. Ask everyone to rank as an adult and as their ten-year-old self, and compare.
Running a food ranking
Try the food first. A tasting-based tier list — even with just three or four items — is far more fun than ranking from memory. Use the free maker to rank as you go, then export the final verdict.
