Fresh tomatoes whether it's grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while

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.

[-] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days 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.

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.

[-] octobob@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days 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

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

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Next time you try pizza; try crab.

[-] ReanuKeeves@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

In this economy???

[-] Defectus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I think most leave them out. But its in the original recepie

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 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.

[-] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

Salami, really thin slices or diced summer suasage.

[-] ronflex@lemmy.world 3 points 6 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.

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 6 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.

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 6 days ago

Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?

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

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days 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.

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.

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.

Arugula adds a sharp flavor that really pairs with cheese well. Might be controversial, but I'm a big fan of the salad pizzas. The best tend to be the house salads of romaine, red onion, tomato, and olives up ended atop a good thin crust pizza with plenty of sauce.

Edit: Oh!! If making an arugula salad pizza, I find it works best when paired with something incredibly salty, like anchovy, used very sparingly, some thinly sliced pecorino romano, and a drizzle of good balsamic (that thick shit, not the watery cheapo one). Throw some halved sweet cherry tomatoes on there and some thin sliced onions? Oh! One of my favorite meals after a night of drinking.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

I've seen BLT pizza, which sounds similar. I didn't know salad pizza was a thing. It sounds like it might be really good or really bad depending on the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of softness to crispiness.

Chives, fresh or dry. It started as a joke when a buddy and I made the pizza from System of a Down's Chik N' Stu song and I've never gone back.

Fresh, they bring this green crispness that contrasts really well with the other ingredients. Dry chives burn a little in the baking process but in all the right ways, giving the whole pizza a deep smoky taste that feels amazing.

Crack, smack, and angel dust.

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

Fresh corn is weird but gives a similar sweet juicy effect. I like corn+feta+chile peppers

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

Sundried tomatoes. Goat cheese.

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

[-] Defectus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

And some olives, capers and garlic

I love cranberry and camembert pizza

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Don't know if it's underrated: margherita. Simple, delicious.

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

[-] cabinet_sanchez@midwest.social 2 points 6 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 6 days ago

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

[-] cituskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Caramelized Onions.

Not a topping, but underrated: ricotta instead of tomato sauce. So good!

Roasted potatoes paired with chicken or beef and onion

Also pears, blue cheese, candied pecans, and balsamic glaze

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Never thought about potatoes on pizza, but potatoes are good in anything IMO.

Pineapple and pepperoni, Prosciutto, Salami, Hot sauce/hot honey, Buffalo sauce/bbq sauce instead of pizza sauce

One of my favorites is bbq sauce, brisket, cheese and, hear me out, diced pickles

[-] dave@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

Sardines, olives, capers.
