What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class..
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.

What do you think?

Figs are amazing.

Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.

In seriousness, I could see pear being good. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.

I've seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.

Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.

...tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini...

Pear works well on white pizza

[-] Litany@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Apples work well on white pizza as well. Perhaps OP only tried with red sauce, which I imagine wouldn't be very good.

But indeed there's a local pizza place around where I live that does a simple olive oil base topped with creamy cheese, tart apples, arugula, and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It's utterly fantastic

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.

I had Hawaiian with kiwi! It was good

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it's pretty good!

[-] Nounka@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Sounds intriguing

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 23 points 9 hours ago

Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled "pork", it'd be great on a BBQ pizza.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 7 hours ago

As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.

What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.

I think it's great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I don't think it's a marketing ploy, it's just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It's not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 points 1 hour ago

Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that's next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don't sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn't mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it's not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

I still think it's strange that the seeds aren't also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.

[-] Nounka@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Never saw one in a store tnh. No clue how they taste

Need to go look that up. No id what that is

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ's sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.

[-] VerdantSporeSeasoning@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

My local favorite is apple slices+bacon, it's the best.

Pear, gorgonzola and arugula. It was delicious. I ate the whole thing and now I'm ashamed of myself.

[-] KlavKalashj@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago

Banana is a common topping in Sweden. Add some curry and peanuts while you're at it.

On of my local pizzerias has one with apple and it's actually one of my favorite!

But my number one is the "indian", which is basically chicken, curry, pineapple and raisin
