To build a pizza, customers choose stuffed (S) or thin (T) crust, red (R) or white (W) sauce, and a topping. The choices for toppings are pepperoni (P), sausage (S), or vegetables (V).

The following list shows the possible pizzas that can be made. The first letter represents the crust, the second letter represents the sauce, and the third letter represents the topping. For example, a stuffed-crust pizza with red sauce and pepperoni is listed as SRP, and a stuffed-crust pizza with white sauce and sausage is listed as SWS.
