Fresh tomatoes whether it’s grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while
Pineapple, and yes, I will die on this hill!
Also, sundried tomatoes
I had pear slices on a pizza once expecting it to be kinda weird at best, and it was genuinely fantastic.
Add gorgonzola or some other blue cheese, had one like that recently, and though I absolutely loathe Hawaii pizza, the pear and blue cheese combo blew me away.
I love artichoke hearts on my pizza but most places don’t have that option. My favorite pizza is a pesto sauce with feta, artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes, and maybe trace amounts of ham.
Either kalamata or green olives. I like green olives with pepperoni, kalamata usually by themselves.
Another all-timer is anchovies + mushroom. It’s basically a fish stew if done the right way
Crack an egg on it
Whites got on first then bake most of the way before adding the yolks! That way your pizza has built in dip packets!!
Next time you try pizza; try crab.
In this economy???
Yeah, I think most leave them out. But its in the original recepie
I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.
Salami, really thin slices or diced summer suasage.
I have two go-to combos that never fail me:
- bacon and pineapple
- pepperoni and bananna peppers
Both are also fire as hell with Tajín, more specifically the former.
Pineapple. Of all the people that hate it, I’m not convinced the majority have tried it (exceptions for those who hate pineapple on its own)
Edit: also it’s best on white pizza
I love pineapple and really strongly dislike it on pizza. The only time I’ve had “acceptable” pineapple on pizza is when it was chopped up really tiny and I could barely taste it.
My problem with pineapple on pizza is,
- Hot/warm pineapple is gross.
- Pineapple makes the pizza watery.
- Pineapple adds a sweetness that a pizza just doesn’t need. It detracts from other flavors.
- Again hot/warm pineapple tastes gross.
Def agree but the experience may vary greatly from “best you ever had” to “dfq this is trash” depending on the freshness of the pineapple and the skill/determination of the cook. Like pineapple pizza is hard to get right but if you get it right it’s extremely good
I think I’d like it if the pineapple were in smaller pieces so it doesn’t overwhelm everything else. “Pizza…pizza…PINEAPPLE…pizza…”
I disagree, I like large chunks of pineapple. Small chunks usually turn to mush
The first time I smoked weed we ordered a pineapple pizza and I… proceeded to pick all the caramelized pineapple off… bit by bit. Oh cringe. But it was so good.
get it under the cheese. flavor country.
I tried it and it was ok but the roof of my mouth hurt afterwards
The underrated combos is where the gains are.
Anchovies with olives and capers.
We all know pineapple and Canadian bacon (can also be Spam).
Pepperoni and jalapeños.
Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.
Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.
Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?
In the UK, that’s called ‘an american’
Not really. I’ve only seen it at a couple local type places. No large chain has it as a standard combination. TBH, that’s kind of weird to peg that of all things as “an American” slice.
Pepperoni and jalapenos is my favorite but it is also the kryptonite to my usually indestructible digestive system. I get green peppers instead which is still very good but not the same.
Figs have to be a top contender. I’ve never heard anyone suggest them, yet it’s great. There’s one place I go that serves with prosciutto, fig preserves, and a balsamic glaze.
🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Love them figs!
Anchovies with olives and capers.
Salt, salt and salt? I’m on board, but I wonder how many other people would be.
Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.
Feta. Sure, pizza tends to be already covered in cheese, but this is different cheese, and that is a good thing. I think it goes well with some of my other faves, such as green olives, pineapple, banana peppers.
Salami. It’s like pepperoni, but different.
Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce, together with a few toppings like chicken and red onion, is heavenly, and doesn’t seem to cause heartburn.
I mentioned it in another comment, but palak paneer pizza includes both mozzarella AND squeaky paneer cheese. It’s great. I agree about the feta: “different cheese” is important.
I agree regarding the Feta (and then Tsatsiki on top, it’s heaven). Otherwise: Margherita is simply the best.
Try it before you judge me: pineapple, anchovies, a tad Tabasco. It’s absolutely brilliant.
We can be friends.
… from a distance.
That’s implied. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
egg pizza
