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).
Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!
Try pepperoni and black olives, that's also pretty good.
IMO that's pretty normal, maybe even classic!
Also, how are black olives so bad and other olives so good? I've never understood it. Kalamata olives would be so much tastier.

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

Swedish people have made it a science to have wierd pizza toppings. One example is the banan pizza π
It's always the Swedish. Gotta have some neighbour love for them but still.
Needs to be curry and banana.
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!
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.
I once had a pizza with duck on, and orange sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was actually rather good, iirc!
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.
I've eaten pizza with corn my whole life, never considered it weird lol
Not exactly weird, but prosciutto and ricotta with hot honey
Pineapple and anchovy. Sweet + salty. It's a beautiful combo.
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.
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.
Chorizos and Honey on a pizza. Its so good!
Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.
Donβt knock it until you try it.
My favourite pizza is actually blue cheese and shrimp, I dont know if that is wierd or not? Its semi-common where I live.
Blue cheese and tuna is good, so I'm not gonna reject shrimp as an alternative. I'd try that.
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.
Not on pizza, but a combo to try - Dill pickles with peanut butter. Itβs gotta be smaller non-sliced crunchy dill pickles, cold. Peanut butter needs to be the processed creamy kind, with some sugar added. Delicious.
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.
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.
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.
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)
I really appreciate an Italian who isn't prescious over pizza! Of course, traditional Italian pizzas are great, but that doesn't mean alternatives can't be awesome too!
IMO, so long as the toppings go well with the sauce (eg a fajita pizza should have a spicier sauce) then you can make something great.

Waste of good octopus, I bet.
Spanish crimes against pizza should be prosecuted in the Hague.

Mango works surprisingly well.
I had a kimchi pizza in Golden, CO and it was great.
I like putting together cheese and peanuts. Mac and cheese with peanut butter. PB & J and cheese.
And also, I douse things I don't want to eat with fermented shrimp paste. You know how some people put ketchup or hot sauce to make things more tolerable? Same but with stinky shrimp paste. When I'm bored with porkchops or fried chicken, I just dip it in. 10/10 would recommend everyone to try it at least once. You can buy the paste from Asian groceries.
Iβve 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.
Pickles and bacon!
Spaghetti with the normal tomato sauce and meat balls and spontaneously decided to try it with soy sauce (sorry fellow Italians)
Chocolate and banana pizza
