Fresh tomatoes whether it’s grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while
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.
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!!
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.
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 Tajín, more specifically the former.
Pineapple, and yes, I will die on this hill!
Also, sundried tomatoes
I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.
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
Anchovy. It’s a nice salty kick with a lot of umami
And some olives, capers and garlic
They need to put them on caesar salads more
Isn’t it enough to have them in the dressing?
Pepperoni, pineapple, and red onion is my go to.
Artichoke hearts
Prosciutto
Black olives
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.
No one mentioned goat cheese+honey ? Maybe just an European thing !
chèvre-miel
I’ve never seen that combination outside of France
In some parts of Germany, Belgium and Netherlands too !
I’d never have even considered honey, but “hot honey” stuff has started becoming popular and it is pretty great so I bet honey on pizza works well.
egg pizza
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 first time I smoked weed we ordered a pineapple pizza and I… proceeded to pick all the caramelized pineapple off… bit by bit. Oh cringe. But it was so good.
