Most of us prefer the pizza to standard toppings like olives, mushrooms or tomatoes.
If we're really crazy, we'll add tuna or corn.
However, a new trend in tic-tac-toe seeks to challenge the standard toppings and combine with the pizza none other than - egg.
U.S. content creators have combined pizza and egg together under the hashtag #pizzeggs and garnered more than 1.9 million views.

Content creator Elise Myers, who has the most-watched egg-pizza video on Tic Tac, prepares her recipe with pizza-only spices.
"Take butter, pre-cooked chicken pieces, pepperoni, in a pan. Season with salt, pepper and put eggs," Myers describes the process.
Shay Spence, on the other hand, takes pizza leftovers, cuts them into cubes, frys and adds eggs to an omelet.
"I learned the recipe from a friend of mine in college," he said, adding, "It's a perfect way to deal with pizza leftovers."
Kimberly Baker, director of food and safety at Clemson University, addressed the phenomenon on Fox News.
"Eggs are a delicate-tasting protein that can blend with many foods. Eggs are cooked quickly, while pizza is a dish that most Americans love. The combination of ease of preparation and blending flavors makes it a recipe many want to try."
