I've had a pretty decent pizza with peach on it.
many dont believe me, but grapes. They taste generally really gold when cooked.
The tomato.
That's about it.
Pepperoni.
is that a fruit?
Technically, it can be, depending on the type of pepperoni.
In parts of Europe, such as Germany, a pepperoni is a pickled pepper, not the salami named after it.
(And peppers are fruits of a capsicum plant.)
pepperonis are paprika, wouldn't that make it a vegetable? i think OP is aiming at a more common definition of fruit
Peppers are the fruit of the plant. They're what's made after the flowers were pollinated and have seeds. They're also sometimes sweet and not always so spicy.
Of course, there's the botanical definition and culinary definition and there's some overlap. The most famous would be a tomato, which is also a fruit and a vegetable from different points of view.
What's mind-blowing to think about is that a pepper is not just a fruit but also technically a berry.
In cooking, peppers are used as a fruit, a vegetable, and even a spice. (Depending on the pepper variety.) So, anyone classifying it as any of those things is right. ๐
(Wikipedia mentions all this too.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper
it might be the fruit of the plant, but peppers are botanically speaking vegetables, and more closely related to tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants, than apples and oranges. OP is asking for fruits other than pineapple to put on a pizza, not how far the definition of what a fruit is can be stretched. you might be partly correct, but not in the context of what this thread is about.
What are you, a cop?!
Pineapple
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.
I've had a BBQ pulled pork pizza w/ applesauce on the side for dipping and it was amazing. Too bad that place closed.
The spicy Cajun bread sticks they had were great, too. Especially as a broke student because they were like $2 and practically a solid pound of filling carbs.
Tomato
Edit: 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.
True
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.
