Fresh tomatoes whether it’s grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while
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.
Anchovies with olives and capers.
Salt, salt and salt? I’m on board, but I wonder how many other people would be.
Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.
Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?
In the UK, that’s called ‘an american’
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.
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.
Spinach and extra cheese are already ubiquitous toppings for pizza so now that you mention it I’m a little surprised palak paneer hasn’t taken off. I can see it happening in Rhode Island, where there’s both a lot of Italian and Indian cuisine.
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.
I mentioned it in another comment, but palak paneer pizza includes both mozzarella AND squeaky paneer cheese. It’s great. I agree about the feta: “different cheese” is important.
egg pizza
Crack, smack, and angel dust.
What’s a big ass turtle gonna know about pizza anyway
Careful there, I have it on good authority that this particularly large turtle has an attitude.
I don’t know. But they sure do seem to love their 'za.
Anchovy. It’s a nice salty kick with a lot of umami
They need to put them on caesar salads more
Isn’t it enough to have them in the dressing?
I’m not tasting them in most restaurant dressings.
And some olives, capers and garlic
Pineapple, and yes, I will die on this hill!
Also, sundried tomatoes
FETA CHEESE!
Feta, capicola, sliced black olives. Perfection.
Don’t know if it’s underrated: margherita. Simple, delicious.
Fresh corn is weird but gives a similar sweet juicy effect. I like corn+feta+chile peppers
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.
No one mentioned goat cheese+honey ? Maybe just an European thing !
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.
chèvre-miel
I’ve never seen that combination outside of France
In some parts of Germany, Belgium and Netherlands too !
Roasted potatoes paired with chicken or beef and onion
Also pears, blue cheese, candied pecans, and balsamic glaze
You had me up to the balsamic. There’s too much funk for me there.
I love cranberry and camembert pizza
Sundried tomatoes. Goat cheese.
