you can pry my tomato slop from my greasy dead hands, woke moralists!

the age of pesto-base pizzas is upon us

possibly even chilli red pestos

BBQ BBQ BBQ.

everyone thinks it's yucky but the pizza itself has to "fit" it, it can't just be a normal pizza. onions and spicy peppers are a must

Lemme get uhhh some mayonnaise as sauce and cheddar cheese

I had a pizza last night (and again at 3am today) that was a blend of normal pizza sauce and Alfredo. That shit slapped.

Is this about dessert pizzas

Curry sauce

Roasted red peppers, eggplant, and zucchini. Onion, garlic. Maybe some mushroom ketchup.

I haven't actually tried that but I wonder if it would make a good sauce. I'm thinking put it with smoked toppings.

I usually grab a can of bake bean and open the lid a bit so only the sauce comes out and I use the sauce as the base and then sprinkle the beans over the cheese

On the west coast at least, there are a few Indian pizza fusion spots that do curry or tikka base, so it's almost like Indian food baked on naan, but it's more cheesy. Definitely worth a try

Ranch dressing with a little garlic powder mixed in

Yes I am American feel free to roast me

A thin alfredo made specifically for pizza. So pretty much garlic parm but emulsified.

I know of a pizza place where the owner dreamed up 5 different ways on the menu to have a nonstandard sauce with chicken as a topping. 3 of them had bacon as well as chicken.

Another one that'll definitely raise some eyebrows, but i swear it's good and it requires some analysis of australian takeaway history and operation:

Mango Chutney

Hear me out
Various forms of take away/delivery food in are not strictly (stereotypically) owned or operated by the diaspora that brought the cuisine to australia, but has been absorbed by other groups as their migration wave established themselves and had the capacity to take over old or collapsed businesses. One big example is that Fish & Chip Shops were stereotypically the realm of Greek families for decades (but this seems to have turned towards Vietnamese families in the last 10-20 years).
The one relevant to suburban Pizza shops is that many wound up owned or operated by Indian or Turkish families, with Italian families seeming to only retain footholds in certain areas or otherwise have their australian-born generations pivot to fancier, more expensive wood-fired pizzas or ride the Neapolitan-style wave.

Mayonaisse

Alfredo, pesto, barbecue

homemade turbo-garlic hummus with added smoked pepper, cumin and chili powder

There's a pizza place up by me that does a pizza with this sweet chili sauce base.

Lemon-garlic aioli

Garlic oil but also white sauces in general you can make a vegan one, pestos as well are great and folks, we gotta talk hummus. Oh shit also roasted red pepper sauce done the same way as marinara is something fucking else. I've also done a refined bean base, tarragon aoili for a wine stwed pear and posted shallot pizza. I've done green curry and pickled veggies, garlic butter blitzed eith broccoli until its a paste, domain sauce (nova Scotia things look it up, it is great). Literally anything works if you match the toppings to fit. I'm vegan but making g fancy pizzas is my job and marinara is like...the lamest. Roasted red pepper sauce had to be my fave tho

How about an everything bagel pizza with cream cheese as the sauce, mozz, and all the everything bagel toppings sprinkled on it?

Could add lox or bacon as a meat topping…

That does sound good. Onions and cheese are such an underappreciated combo. Never tried pizza without tomato sauce though. Sounds like a worthwhile idea to explore. Especially with some sauteed broccoli and garlic on top. Maybe some Kalamata olives too.

How about going for a hummus base?

just a centimeter thick layer of hot sauce, let's get weird with it. Or split the difference and do sriracha. Or hummus.

I've never had a non-tomato based pizza.

Vegemite

Pesta sauce, regular mozz, fresh mozz, salted tomato, maybe olive oil

baesd on the success I had with mixing gochujang and fried mashed peanuts with pasta sauce for noodles I would say someone try that for a pizza and you're welcome in advance
