I will never understand the hate pineapple gets for pizza. Especially paired with good pepperoni and maybe banana peppers. I think pizza is like beer for folks: there are those that consider Reinheitsgebot sacred, then people that are all about the pumpkin latte milk stout (or insert any other delicious bastardized beer flavor).

The only right answer is what you like, just dont make me eat your white sauce mushroom, onion, banana pizza with a side of salted caramel peanut butter QIPA and we’ll be fine.

Trader Joe's has a "Breaded fried cheese curd" https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/breaded-cheddar-cheese-curds-075557 that is awesome on pizza...

what do you consider real vs fake pizza toppings:

real: peperoni, mushroom, peppers and onions, white , unfortunately although no-one really likes em . anchovies are a real topping. , meatball if you must, i may have forgotten others.

fake : any type of pasta, HAM and PINAPPLE, ceasars salad - wtf, phily cheesesteak pizza - no. and that thing they call vegetable pizza which is really just when someone drags your slice through the garden. chicken unfortunately is not a real pizza topping. i think rays in the city is responsible for a lot of these mistakes. oh i almost forgot . bacon which is the greatest food of all time does NOT belong on a pizza. its prolly the only thing that bacon shouldn't be on. i guess at the most pancetta or guanciale. but only if you are in italy.

what do you consider legit vs BS pizza toppings. sorry work is killing me again today.

The toppings are just a flourish; the pizza should stand alone without them. For the most part I agree with your list, except you left out Italian sausage (which I don't really like but it's real) and salami. Fresh tomatoes in season and fresh basil are good too.

Strawberries definitely do not belong on pizza. Just, no. It's a waste of good strawberries and will ruin the pizza. I can't say this enough.

My favorite pizzas are pepperoni (not too much!) and fresh jalapenos, and salami. Pickled jalapenos are a poor substitute for fresh but I guess they are better than nothing. Wife really likes sausage and mushroom.

Just messing with ya. Not going to yuck your yum.

That said, I think spicy salami and bleu cheese makes sense to me... The pineapple in that combo doesn't. But I guess I looked it up on google, and you're not the only weirdo who does it.

I know that's why just the back and forth.
It's a pretty common combo over here in Finland, but we're still better than our neighbours in sweden with their banana pizzas

My go to is always some variation of salami/pepperoni. Ideally as many different kinds in one pizza as possible.

Spinach with crushed garlic and a hint lemon juice is great if you get all the water out.

My wife loves a Hawaiian but I'm not a fan.

I don't especially like onions on pizza, but couldn't tell you why.

In Rome I had a variation of a Neapolitan which was made with Oak smoked scamorza instead of buffalo mozzarella. That was great.

Tender stem broccoli and n'duja is better than it has any right to be and is a regular feature in my wood fired Ooni.



However the most delicious and simultaneously wrong-est pizza I ever had was in Tampere in Finland. Fajita marinaded chicken with chorizo, habanero peppers and cactus slices. Like a Hawaiian for people who aren't criminally insane.

 

[Kharnynb]

bbq pizza is quite popular here in finland nowadays as well, and I think it's great

 

[mashdar]

I have started keeping steakums in the freezer as a pizza topping. It's delicious. I keep a pepperone on hand, but it's too spicy for the kids, so they get steak.

BBQ chicken? Or BBQ instead of tomato sauce? What cheese?

 

[Kharnynb]

bbq sauce instead of tomato and generally several meat toppings, often chicken and bacon at least.

For the pepper and onion haters out there. And no that's not beer in my glass.

Pizza is pizza, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully
Pizza is pizza,, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully

So, we’ve different toppings, and we’ve different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate fish, though, they’ve done nothing wrong
I've never had anchovies, so, what could they have done?

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another’s dish
Help me understand

Pizza is pizza, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully
Pizza is pizza,, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully

And now you're throwing on canned mushrooms, and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
In the fridge we have fresh mushrooms, not from a can
It just takes a while to slice and throw them on the pan

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another’s dish
Help me understand

…..etc.

see post #1. peppers and onions very acceptable.

 

[fluketamer]

just went to my local pizza joint for a slice.

look at all these mistakes:

yes aside from the pasta slice and the chicken brocoli alfredo ( gag) , thats bbq chicken with amercian cheese - cant make this up.


and of course ceasars salad slice in the background - wtf

that poor normal pepperoni slice (notice how theres only one) must be thinking hes the only sane one in the bunch.

I really miss it.

Someone needs to go back to pizza school.

Maybe those are prank orders that never got picked up? Or it's a money laundry op and they don't want people actually buying the stuff.

thats not a pizza thats a flatbread.

i forgot to mention if you call it flatbread you can put anything you want on it and its legal. i had a goat cheese, pulled pork, arugula flatbread on the jersey shore once at firefly's before it closed. that was f-ing great.

but it wasnt pizza lol

That's an interesting hill to die on.

Watched a Les Stroud wild black berry episode last nite where the chef made a pizza with ricotta, black berry jam and fresh berries. Wood fired oven and when it came out he topped it with basil and arugula. Real of fake? you choose, I'm going with fake!

"Roasted turkey with green beans, crispy onions, dried cranberries & a gravy drizzle ..." But then it takes a turn: "... on a Detroit style crust."

I made a couple pan pizzas today and my wife requested Hawaiian on half. My four-year old helper sees that and asks, "Hey daddy, why is there pineapple on that pizza?" My friend remarked, "See, he just knows to question it without having had any bias trained into him!"

 

[shoengine]

Ahh no! I totally forgot about the Thanksgiving pizza!
