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

[-] octobob@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

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

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.

I had pear slices on a pizza once expecting it to be kinda weird at best, and it was genuinely fantastic.

[-] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Pineapple, and yes, I will die on this hill!

Also, sundried tomatoes

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Next time you try pizza; try crab.

Whites got on first then bake most of the way before adding the yolks! That way your pizza has built in dip packets!!

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Anchovy. It's a nice salty kick with a lot of umami

[-] Defectus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And some olives, capers and garlic

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

They need to put them on caesar salads more

[-] Defectus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Isn't it enough to have them in the dressing?

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

I'm not tasting them in most restaurant dressings.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Worst is tomato slices. Waaaayyyy too watery. It is like someone left your pizza out in the rain.

[-] cabinet_sanchez@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it

[-] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

It'll be okay as long as you have that recipe again

[-] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Salami, really thin slices or diced summer suasage.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.

[-] ronflex@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Artichoke hearts

Prosciutto

Black olives

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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.
[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I think I'd like it if the pineapple were in smaller pieces so it doesn't overwhelm everything else. "Pizza...pizza...PINEAPPLE...pizza..."

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I disagree, I like large chunks of pineapple. Small chunks usually turn to mush

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

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

Pepperoni, pineapple, and red onion is my go to.

[-] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

No one mentioned goat cheese+honey ? Maybe just an European thing !

[-] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

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.

Palak paneer! Baltimore, queen of Indian Pizza. Someone on here mentioned feta -- try some squeaky paneer, instead! This gem really needs to be made elsewhere.

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.

[-] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?

In the UK, that's called 'an american'

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Banana peppers and black olives, same here.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 9 points 3 days ago

Sundried tomatoes. Goat cheese.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Crack, smack, and angel dust.

Feta. Sure, pizza tends to be already covered in cheese, but this is different cheese, and that is a good thing. I think it goes well with some of my other faves, such as green olives, pineapple, banana peppers.

Salami. It's like pepperoni, but different.

Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce, together with a few toppings like chicken and red onion, is heavenly, and doesn't seem to cause heartburn.

Try it before you judge me: pineapple, anchovies, a tad Tabasco. It's absolutely brilliant.

Fig jam. A local place makes a fig jam and bacon artisanal pizza that's to die for.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

I got one that is more cursed then underrated:

Mac and cheese pizza, but right before you eat a bite you pour a tiny bit of cola on it first.
