My usual way of ordering pizza in the US is to as for a Margherita or Quattro Formaggio or whatever, "but with a couple of toppings". That works. In the place discussed in the article, it would probably be better to phrase that as "a pizza that is like a Margherita, except that it has an additional ingredient". That said -- a pizza that is altered by adding an extra topping is easier to conceptualize than a cheeseless pizza that is altered by adding cheese. So I can somewhat understand the pizza-maker's distress. :)
