So,

This is independent probability.

First, we have the two people.
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Then, we have 3 different toppings.
\(\frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}\)

Next, we have 4 possible types of crusts.
\(\frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{24}\)

Finally, we have the 8 possible toppings.
\(\frac{1}{24} * \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{192}\)
