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

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

Next time you try pizza; try crab.

In this economy???

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

Salami, really thin slices or diced summer suasage.

[–] [email protected] 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 TajΓ­n, more specifically the former.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

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

Also, sundried tomatoes

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Artichoke hearts

Prosciutto

Black olives

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

And some olives, capers and garlic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They need to put them on caesar salads more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I'm not tasting them in most restaurant dressings.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Banana peppers and black olives, same here.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

chèvre-miel

I've never seen that combination outside of France

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

In some parts of Germany, Belgium and Netherlands too !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.
