commas, serial

I want those apples, oranges, and pears.
I want mushrooms, onions, and sausage on my pizza.

I want to see you all using the serial comma. Your English teacher may have beaten into you that you drop the comma before the and. S/he wasn’t necessarily wrong. You can drop it or use it. I think it adds clarity to a sentence, and we should employ it.
