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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

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] 2 points 1 year ago

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

IMO it's quite good! especially when paired with banana peppers as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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. :)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Banana pizza is child's play! In SkellefteΓ₯ 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 "skrovmΓ₯l" (double patty burger + fries). Enjoy!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Needs to be curry and banana.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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.

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.

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 1 year ago

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

I had a kimchi pizza in Golden, CO and it was great.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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)

Waste of good octopus, I bet.

Spanish crimes against pizza should be prosecuted in the Hague.

Let me introduce you to the "pizzalad".

semi-unrelated but jesus christ do i miss the cheeseburger pizza at dominos

Pickles and bacon!

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

Mango works surprisingly well.

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

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

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 1 year ago

Chocolate and banana pizza

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.

Don’t knock it until you try it.

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 1 year ago

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

They messed my pizza order up once and I'm not entirely sure what I got, but it had chicken, pineapple and curry sauce instead of tomato. I decided to give it a taste and as weird as it was, it was kind of nice. Nothing I would order again, but I didn't complain either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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