One I've tried is cucumber with tomato sauce. It didn't taste so bad.

Swedish people have made it a science to have wierd pizza toppings. One example is the banan pizza πŸ™ƒ

[–] 1337tux 2 points 2 years ago

It's always the Swedish. Gotta have some neighbour love for them but still.

Pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeΓ±o turns out pretty good on a pizza.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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.

Try pepperoni and black olives, that's also pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 peak Pizza for me! Especially with both pepperoni and sucuk (turkish garlic salami that's basically available in every Pizza delivery place in Germany).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I once had a pizza with duck on, and orange sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was actually rather good, iirc!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Chicken sandwich with peanut butter, chili oil and soy sauce (just a bit if you need a bit of saltiness).

My father decided saurkraut on pizza would be nice. Thank goodness I'm coeliac or I'd have been obliged to try some...

[–] TempleSquare 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That actually sounds pretty good. Especially on a sausage pizza.

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. :)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I've eaten pizza with corn my whole life, never considered it weird lol

[–] Skaryon 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Banana elevates every pizza

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

spicy mustard.

[–] DelvianSeek 4 points 2 years ago

Pineapple and anchovy. Sweet + salty. It's a beautiful combo.

Chorizos and Honey on a pizza. Its so good!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sliced potato, broccoli, and mayo is quite common in Japan. And it takes like ass of course

[–] justhach 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] bedheadkitten 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My favourite pizza is actually blue cheese and shrimp, I dont know if that is wierd or not? Its semi-common where I live.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Blue cheese and tuna is good, so I'm not gonna reject shrimp as an alternative. I'd try that.

Mango works surprisingly well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that would unite the pro- and anti- pineapple debate.

Not exactly weird, but prosciutto and ricotta with hot honey

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My wife says it's unholy that I put tuna in mac'n'cheese.

Pineapple Jalapeno Goat cheese is something weird I did that I liked

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.

Don’t knock it until you try it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Banana and Salad Cream sandwiches.

The Salad Cream adds a nice tangyness, you can tell yourself the banana makes it healthy, and you've got a proper student sandwich.

Works surprisingly well.

Not mine and I wouldn't recommend it, but in Barcelona once I had a pizza with octopuss and potato.

To this day it remains the only pizza I did not want to finish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Waste of good octopus, I bet.

Spanish crimes against pizza should be prosecuted in the Hague.

Let me introduce you to the "pizzalad".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once I tried Hawaiian pizza with cherries on top. That's my pizza I did not want to finish. But I probably wouldn't want to even try the octopus and potato one either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've had (sweet) potato work on a pizza before, the pieces need to be pretty thin to cook properly. The octopus was overcooked on that one and the potato were large chunks and undercooked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jesus fucking Christ, I'm Italian and when I was in Korea we tried a couple of pizzas (it's always fun to see how foreign countries make it) and they were all so damn sweet. Turns out they put sweet potatoes everywhere.

Potatoes and octopus doesn't sound bad tho! I'm not sure I've ever seen it but I sure would try it (if they're well clocked that is)

That sounds like a pizza version of Polbo Γ  feira.

Which is a culinary abomination.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Try vegemite and golden syrup on a pancake, it works well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not on pizza, but a combo to try - Dill pickles with peanut butter. It’s gotta be smaller non-sliced crunchy dill pickles, cold. Peanut butter needs to be the processed creamy kind, with some sugar added. Delicious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Chocolate and banana pizza

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mushroom pizza with a sunny side up egg.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That isn't that unusual in Italy, but usually we use boiled eggs!
