#8*7*6*5= 1680#

Explanation:

#8*7*6*5= 1680#

Since there are four toppings on the pizza and eight possible toppings to choose from we can determine the varieties available by multiplying the available options.

There are 8 possible toppings for the 1st choice.
Since we have chosen one topping already
There are 7 possible toppings for the 2nd choice
There are 6 possible toppings for the 3rd choice
and
There are 5 possible toppings for the 4th choice

#8*7*6*5= 1680#
