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.
Anchovy. It's a nice salty kick with a lot of umami
They need to put them on caesar salads more
Isn't it enough to have them in the dressing?
I'm not tasting them in most restaurant dressings.
And some olives, capers and garlic
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
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.
Worst is tomato slices. Waaaayyyy too watery. It is like someone left your pizza out in the rain.
I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it
It'll be okay as long as you have that recipe again
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!!
Yeah, I think most leave them out. But its in the original recepie
Next time you try pizza; try crab.
In this economy???
I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.
Artichoke hearts
Prosciutto
Black olives
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 TajΓn, more specifically the former.
Pepperoni, pineapple, and red onion is my go to.
I love adding black olives or banana peppers to pizza along with a meat (usually pepperoni or meatball). Banana peppers specifically give it the contrasting flavor that I think people like from adding pineapple to a pizza, but without being so pineapple.
Banana peppers and black olives, same here.
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.
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
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 tried it and it was ok but the roof of my mouth hurt afterwards
get it under the cheese. flavor country.

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 jalapeΓ±os.
Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.
Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.
Is pepperoni and jalapeΓ±os 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.

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.

Try it before you judge me: pineapple, anchovies, a tad Tabasco. It's absolutely brilliant.

egg pizza
Palak paneer! Baltimore, queen of Indian Pizza. Someone on here mentioned feta -- try some squeaky paneer, instead! This gem really needs to be made elsewhere.
Spinach and extra cheese are already ubiquitous toppings for pizza so now that you mention it I'm a little surprised palak paneer hasn't taken off. I can see it happening in Rhode Island, where there's both a lot of Italian and Indian cuisine.
