What are your "weirdest" pizza toppings or other weird food combos?

One I've tried is cucumber with tomato sauce. It didn't taste so bad.

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. :)
Sounds pretty good to be honest. In Sweden we usually have a side salad for pizza ("pizzasallad") which is close to sauerkraut, but not fermented. It's not uncommon to also put it on the pizza.
There’s no gluten in sauerkraut is there? You should be good to go now with the proliferation of gf crusts!
Chicken sandwich with peanut butter, chili oil and soy sauce (just a bit if you need a bit of saltiness).
The "college kid" Pad Thai was chicken, pb, Sriracha, and a Ramen packet.
There's a restaurant nearby that does that on a sandwich instead of on Ramen.
I don't think you're far off
Swedish people have made it a science to have wierd pizza toppings. One example is the banan pizza 🙃
It's always the Swedish. Gotta have some neighbour love for them but still.
Banana pizza is child's play! In Skellefteå 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 "skrovmål" (double patty burger + fries). Enjoy!
Needs to be curry and banana.
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.
Pineapple and anchovy. Sweet + salty. It's a beautiful combo.
I once had a pizza with duck on, and orange sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was actually rather good, iirc!
Chorizos and Honey on a pizza. Its so good!
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
You mean like left beef none pizza, OP?
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.
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.
Not exactly weird, but prosciutto and ricotta with hot honey
grilled shrimp and pesto
I’ve 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.
Mango works surprisingly well.
I think that would unite the pro- and anti- pineapple debate.
Pro-pineapple (but anti-hawaiian, should be pep, pine, jalaps) here: I'd try it, but only with chicken and Habeneros if I can, jalaps if they have no habs.
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. It’s gotta be smaller non-sliced crunchy dill pickles, cold. Peanut butter needs to be the processed creamy kind, with some sugar added. Delicious.
Pickles and bacon!
Banana elevates every pizza
spicy mustard.
Waste of good octopus, I bet.
Spanish crimes against pizza should be prosecuted in the Hague.
Let me introduce you to the "pizzalad".
That sounds like a pizza version of Polbo à feira.
Which is a culinary abomination.
Pickled jalapeños on pizza are great, especially with pepperoni. I can imagine other pickled things could work
semi-unrelated but jesus christ do i miss the cheeseburger pizza at dominos
Hot sauce on peanut butter on toast.
Don’t knock it until you try it.

Pineapple Jalapeno Goat cheese is something weird I did that I liked
My wife says it's unholy that I put tuna in mac'n'cheese.
Try vegemite and golden syrup on a pancake, it works well.
Spaghetti in tomato sauce on pizza. NZ thing, our youngest loves it.
Banana and Salad Cream sandwiches.
The Salad Cream adds a nice tangyness, you can tell yourself the banana makes it healthy, and you've got a proper student sandwich.
Works surprisingly well.
Y'all just eating flatbread.
Chocolate and banana pizza
They messed my pizza order up once and I'm not entirely sure what I got, but it had chicken, pineapple and curry sauce instead of tomato. I decided to give it a taste and as weird as it was, it was kind of nice. Nothing I would order again, but I didn't complain either.
Spaghetti with the normal tomato sauce and meat balls and spontaneously decided to try it with soy sauce (sorry fellow Italians)
Mushroom pizza with a sunny side up egg.
That isn't that unusual in Italy, but usually we use boiled eggs!
This was in Japan. They put raw egg on everything.
Apparently pizza is quite exotic to them, because they cost more than other foods and they had no idea of how to make a regular pizza.
I got the egg thing because I couldn't order anything ordinary, so I asked the waiter for his suggestion and took his word for it. I don't regret doing that but I probably won't order that pizza again.
Marshmallow and pesto pizza
Marshmallow and pesto
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.
Sliced turkey, pear, and feta 🤌
I routinely make unusual pizzas. One style we like to go with:
A white pizza with 1) thinly sliced raw green beans, asparagus, or kale 2) leftover grilled dark meat chicken or sausage to add a smoky punch 3) then usually sundried tomatoes or artichoke hearts 4) garlic and black pepper
My father just introduced me to the joy of putting banana peppers on my slices. I don't really like peppers ftmp, but damn is it good on just a plain slice.
Potatos. Was actually good.
When I get a hoagie sometimes I get both tomato sauce and honey or honey mustard. It's a surprisingly good sauce combo. It tends to take on the texture of tomato sauce but the flavor of honey mustard
Outside of Indian cuisine, the best use of achaar is on perogies.
Pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeño turns out pretty good on a pizza.
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.
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.
Hehe I tried to put pineapple on a zapiekanka (polish kind of pizza --> https://cuisineworld.org/recipes/zapiekanka-polish-open-faced-sandwich/) the polish guys around wanted to kill me :-D
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!
