$\begingroup$ At mention of the pizza topping, I was gonna say Rot13(Byvire) where you can drop the first or last letter for some pizza topping (the first being associated with Rot13(puvpxra)). Unfortunately, [the origin of] this name doesn't fit the other lines. Nice riddle, though! $(+1)$ :D $\endgroup$ – Mr Pie Aug 26 '18 at 7:23

$\begingroup$ Xavier, is the name not the one given by this answer (or the first name specifically)? Not sure if this bounty is still available to be claimed $\endgroup$ – El-Guest Sep 3 '18 at 19:46

1$\begingroup$ Sorry, the first name is correct. Forgetting to mark the check is a bit of a bad habit. $\endgroup$ – Xavier Stanton Sep 4 '18 at 14:55

Purely from the first clue I think it's
Oliver Cromwell, because he famously did this.
