One I’ve tried is cucumber with tomato sauce. It didn’t taste so bad.
Pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeño turns out pretty good on a pizza.
The best 3topping in existence, hands down.
My theory on why people don’t like pineapple on pizza is that most of them pair it with sweet ham, so they lose the full effect of the spicy/sweet/salty combo. Pineapple on pizza is amazing, hawaiian pizza is an abberant form that should be removed off menus everywhere and replaced with the true god-king: The PPJ.
That’s peak Pizza for me! Especially with both pepperoni and sucuk (turkish garlic salami that’s basically available in every Pizza delivery place in Germany).
Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!
Hehe I tried to put pineapple on a zapiekanka (polish kind of pizza --> https://cuisineworld.org/recipes/zapiekanka-polish-open-faced-sandwich/) the polish guys around wanted to kill me :-D
Try pepperoni and black olives, that’s also pretty good.
IMO that’s pretty normal, maybe even classic!
Also, how are black olives so bad and other olives so good? I’ve never understood it. Kalamata olives would be so much tastier.
That’s a matter of preference - off pizza i prefer green ones!
Also, for this, strangely enough it works better with the sliced ones than the whole ones. They’re a bit saltier. Like me 😋
My father decided saurkraut on pizza would be nice. Thank goodness I’m coeliac or I’d have been obliged to try some…
That actually sounds pretty good. Especially on a sausage pizza.
IMO it’s quite good! especially when paired with banana peppers as well.
haha, came here looking for the saurkraut mention! in my hometown there was a gas station pizza place that offered saurkraut (and banana peppers) and I thought it was quite tasty. :)
Sounds pretty good to be honest. In Sweden we usually have a side salad for pizza (“pizzasallad”) which is close to sauerkraut, but not fermented. It’s not uncommon to also put it on the pizza.
As an extra special treat, I get a pizza Hawaii (yes, with pineapple) with extra sauce hollandaise, feta cheese and banana. I realise this is hardly “pizza” anymore but I have no other word for it.
Another special treat is Nutella, salami, strawberry jam and gouda, in that exact order, on bread (as what Anglophones apparently call an “open-faced sandwich”). It’s a fucking mess.
You sir, are an absolute barbarian!
Call me Red Sonja then.
Red Sonja, destroyer of pallets, ruler of strange food combinations, punisher of pizza culture on a global scale. All hail thee! :-)
Swedish people have made it a science to have wierd pizza toppings. One example is the banan pizza 🙃
Needs to be curry and banana.
It’s always the Swedish. Gotta have some neighbour love for them but still.
Banana pizza is child’s play! In Skellefteå they have reached peak WTFery in the pizza game, let me present the “Calskrove”: https://www.tasteatlas.com/calskrove
It’s a Calzone, with a baked in “skrovmål” (double patty burger + fries). Enjoy!
Mushroom pizza with a sunny side up egg.
That isn’t that unusual in Italy, but usually we use boiled eggs!
This was in Japan. They put raw egg on everything.
Apparently pizza is quite exotic to them, because they cost more than other foods and they had no idea of how to make a regular pizza.
I got the egg thing because I couldn’t order anything ordinary, so I asked the waiter for his suggestion and took his word for it. I don’t regret doing that but I probably won’t order that pizza again.
Chicken sandwich with peanut butter, chili oil and soy sauce (just a bit if you need a bit of saltiness).
The “college kid” Pad Thai was chicken, pb, Sriracha, and a Ramen packet.
There’s a restaurant nearby that does that on a sandwich instead of on Ramen.
I don’t think you’re far off
A little surprised no one has mentioned corn on pizza! I have a memory of being in a Sbarro as a kid and they had pizza with canned corn kernels on it and something about that just really grosses me out.
I’ve eaten pizza with corn my whole life, never considered it weird lol
I once had a pizza with duck on, and orange sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was actually rather good, iirc!
My GFs go to is a hawaiian pizza… with olives, and blue cheese dip on the side.
I didnt think you could make hawaiian pizza worse, but there you go.
Tuna Pizza aka Pizza Tonno.
This is very very very common in Europe (Italy, Germany, …), but every time I mention it to anyone in the US they will look at me like I just told them I like eating car tires or something. My wife only eats tuna Pizza, but she has to make it herself because it is not sold anywhere in the US.
Chorizos and Honey on a pizza. Its so good!
You mean like left beef none pizza, OP?
Not exactly weird, but prosciutto and ricotta with hot honey
Pineapple and anchovy. Sweet + salty. It’s a beautiful combo.
I really love pickles on pizza
Pickled jalapeños on pizza are great, especially with pepperoni. I can imagine other pickled things could work
