Fresh tomatoes whether it’s grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while
Yeah, I think most leave them out. But its in the original recepie
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
Pineapple, and yes, I will die on this hill!
Also, sundried tomatoes
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.
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.
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?
I’m not tasting them in most restaurant dressings.
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!!
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
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.
I tried it and it was ok but the roof of my mouth hurt afterwards
get it under the cheese. flavor country.
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
Next time you try pizza; try crab.
In this economy???
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 jalapeños.
Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.
Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.
Is pepperoni and jalapeños 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.
Figs have to be a top contender. I’ve never heard anyone suggest them, yet it’s great. There’s one place I go that serves with prosciutto, fig preserves, and a balsamic glaze.
🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Love them figs!
Pepperoni and jalapenos is my favorite but it is also the kryptonite to my usually indestructible digestive system. I get green peppers instead which is still very good but not the same.
Anchovies with olives and capers.
Salt, salt and salt? I’m on board, but I wonder how many other people would be.
Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.
No one mentioned goat cheese+honey ? Maybe just an European thing !
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.
chèvre-miel
I’ve never seen that combination outside of France
In some parts of Germany, Belgium and Netherlands too !
egg pizza
I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.
Salami, really thin slices or diced summer suasage.
