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.

[–] Arcaneslime@lemmy.ml 3 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.

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).

[–] vegivamp@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!

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

[–] TempleSquare@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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. :)

[–] Storspoven@feddit.nu 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

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.

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

[–] 1337tux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] p0ppe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Needs to be curry and banana.

[–] Storspoven@feddit.nu 2 points 2 years 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!

[–] ReCursing@kbin.social 4 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!

[–] Kotton@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Not exactly weird, but prosciutto and ricotta with hot honey

[–] surrendertogravity@wayfarershaven.eu 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] manned_meatball@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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

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.

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

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.

[–] DelvianSeek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] roguemetahuman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Potatos. Was actually good.

[–] plum@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Pickles and bacon!

[–] bedheadkitten@lemmy.world 2 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.

[–] MudMan@kbin.social 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.

[–] kani@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Love a bit of blue cheese, pineapple and ham on my pizza (and not that uncommon in Finland), but I have actually had it with shrimp added and that was quite nice.

I really love pickles on pizza

[–] ReCursing@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Pickled jalapeΓ±os on pizza are great, especially with pepperoni. I can imagine other pickled things could work

[–] Rising5315@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.

Don’t knock it until you try it.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] MudMan@kbin.social 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".

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 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.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 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.

[–] pieceofcrazy@feddit.it 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)

Mango works surprisingly well.

[–] neuropean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] masto@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

I’ve been spreading the gospel of mac & cheese pancakes ever since I saw this video and tried making some. https://youtu.be/ayZYfRXS6Do

My home version is slightly different, rather than cooking macaroni separately I just take advantage of whenever we have leftover mac & cheese.

[–] fleabomber@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Y'all just eating flatbread.

[–] Kyoyeou@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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