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?

i think a shredded coconut might work well, if your pizza didn't have cheese on it (a vegan pizza for example)

lemon peel (maybe even yuzu peel) could work quite well shaved over the crust

Melons (not watermelons, these things) ought to taste good. Pizza usually has ham on it and "prosciutto con melone" is a well-known dish.

Gimme some figs on a pulled pork bbq slice with thinly sliced red onions on top, that'd be awesome

Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I've ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I'm surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I'd bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.

Tomato

foiled again by quick lemmers

There's a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren't foiled, you just didn't bother to read the comments before posting.

Olives on a pizza are fantastic if you don't hate olives. Otherwise they may not taste very good at all.

Pair it with feta and capicola for a great time.

Plum with chicken and some bryndza (sheep's milk cottage cheese) was one of the best pizzas I've ever had.

Also apple, tuna, bryndza.

I'm just really longing for some bryndza right now.

In Home Ec we made a fruit pizza, with a sweet crust... and it was amazing. Kind of a bit more like actual pie than pizza. Wish I had the recipe, unfortunately the teacher died a couple decades ago.

Sounds like a job for a necromancer

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 45 minutes ago

Pear goes great with strong cheeses in general so its probably going to work.

Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:

  • fresh mozzarella
  • shaved pear
  • caramelized onions
  • hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
  • pistachios

They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.

It's damn fine.

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.

Iโ€™ve had pizza with mozzarella, lemon, olive oil, and arugula on it. So good.
