[Closed] Pizza toppings track world

Ham and pineapple

Get down to Waitrose:

Calabrian N’duja.
Calabrian sausage - salsicca piccante.
Mozerellla
Mutti pizza sauce

Finish with rocket, pesto, mozerella pearls.

Basically a rip off of the pizza express Calabrese.

I'm somewhat of a traditionalist, pepperoni, mushroom and black olives. Simple and perfect.

Ham and pineapple

I see what you did there, sowing the seeds for a good thread derailment right from the outset… I won’t engage… I won’t.

Obviously it's pineapple and then ham, not ham and pineapple, with cheddar on top.

Cheddar? Now you’re just trolling me guys. Look, I came here for some light relief from HGV driver shortages, inexplicable electric cars with 6 wheels, just-in-time supply chains. And you give me cheddar?

Ok, but yeah it’s pineapple and then ham. You’re right actually.

Anchovies. Anchovies are the king of pizza toppings, escalating any pizza gloriously.

Curried banana - 10 million Swedes can't be wrong

Broccoli stems are unexpectedly nice, but if you've already got as far as corned beef, tikka, and pineapple, skip this post.

With anchovy and chilli

artichokes out of a jar, sliced with sliced peppers and smoked mackeral.

Tried an egg last time out. 1st one was terrible, ruined pizza with a raw egg on it. 2nd one the egg was cooked (still had a runny yolk mind) and wasn’t too bad. May have been better with a generous amount of chilli flakes.

Still prefer nduja and chilli flakes though.

I'll get flamed for this but:

No cheese (smells like feet).
No fish.
Lots of everything else.
Chilli sauce.

slight derailment as it isn't then pizza but

white cheese (fromage blanc, fromage frais will do)

finely chopped onions

pre-partly cooked bacon/lardons

mushrooms if you want.

even better, you don't need to premake the dough and do all that proving stuff.

Flammkuchen - I’m intrigued. Might have to try that.

No cheese (smells like feet).
No fish.
Lots of everything else.
Chilli sauce.

I think the point of a recipe is to expand on the “everything else” bit. I’m with you on the no fish and yes chilli sauce.

Oh, capers.

Always capers.

Edit; I always forget the capers.

I'll match the ham and pineapple and raise it with some chilli powder sprinkling...

My idea of pizza bliss.

Tartiflette.

Or

Devils Mortar (Scottish nduja, essentially) lots of tomato sauce and mozzarella.

I’m partial to:

Charcuterie meats, buffalo mozzarella, antipasti veg, rocket.

Or

Florentino. But instead of cracking the egg in the middle, whip the egg and drizzle across the whole pizza like a lattice omelette.

Both served with a olive oil / balsamic drizzle.

@murray damn straight. Dont forget the peanuts and the bernaise sauce dip

I came here for some light relief from HGV driver shortages, inexplicable electric cars with 6 wheels, just-in-time supply chains. And you give me cheddar?

But you find Corned beef and dairylee chunks acceptable ?. I thought i was going to be sick. Just wrong.
Im the traditionalist. Milano salami,chorizo, thin slices of garlic, thin sliced onion and mozzarella.
Occasionally its breast of chicken and taleggio. Or if I can find it, black truffle salami.
Not so heavy on the tomato paste base, tomato has quite an overpowering flavour.

Corned beef and dairylee ?? 😯 Ye Gads.

You canny beat pizza Margherita but maybe try camembert, thin sliced apple, caramelised onions
Anyone else got the big horn ?

Tomato sauce and creme fraiche mixed up as the base sauce, then Nduja and blobs of creme fraiche and garlic on top. Just tried it yesterday and it was delicious. Mascarpone would work also.

Can't beat a capricciosa though.

Feta and caramelised onions, bonus points for hand made onions although they're trivial.

Tomato sauce and creme fraiche mixed up as the base sauce

Ohh, that sounds nice, lower the tone of the tomato. Must give that a go next pizza build.

Igor says Tuna and Thpagetti with Thprinkles....(or was that a sandwhich filling...I forget...)

Ohh, that sounds nice, lower the tone of the tomato.

It was really good, defo doing it again.

BTW adimaria do a nice truffle salami.

I'm using a Greci prontofresco tomato pizza sauce from them also which is really good.

Roast dinner left overs

Do this but with a thick gravy instead of tomato sauce. Make sure there stuffing balls on it too.

Spam.

Or Halloumi. What's not to like about a squeaky pizza?

All the meats and baked beans.

Anything other than tomato sauce, mozzarella, black olive, onion and anchovy is making things too complicated.

A really good pairing to add to almost any Italian style topping is fresh red onion and Gorgonzola.

Try with roasted peppers and a little Italian sausage of your choice.

But you find Corned beef and dairylee chunks acceptable ?

I was just being pragmatic. Come Christmas, this will be all that’s left in the country.

Haggis, goes surprisingly well on a pizza

Chorizo, jalapenos and honey is nice.

I also made a big mac pizza once

Some mince, onion, gherkins, big mac sauce (mayo, mustard, vinegar, sweet relish, garlic and onion powder) - works surprisingly well on a pizza

Curried banana – 10 million Swedes can’t be wrong

Surely that deserves the banhammer?!

On Pizza toppings - home grown basil and Mozzarella or Rocket, Proscuttio and thick balsamic dressing...

I hope we don't have any Italian forum users. 🤢

Either English Breakfast - tomato base, sausage, bacon, black pudding and egg (no cheese) or chicken and pesto.

Keep it simple. No meat whatsoever.

Tomato and mozzarella. Serve with a grilled vegetable salad.

Ham and pineapple with avocado put on after cooking. Deal with it haterz.

I like a Veg loaded pizza with some Goats cheese.

I also lots of seafood (prawns/tuna/anchovies/smoked salmon?) with capers and a bit or mozzarella.
But probably not Seafood with goats cheese that would be too many competing strong flavours.

Pastrami, pickled beetroot and some cheddar would also work for me...

Certainly not a fan of Fruit on Pizza.

The tricky question then becomes what sides?

Mac 'n' Cheese (yet more carbs and fat)
Calamari
Potato wedges
A salad (drowned in balsamic dressing)

Feta and caramelised onions, bonus points for hand made onions although they’re trivial.

Definitely this. I don't care much for Feta, but together it just works and robust enough flavours that are complemented by the smokiness from the uuni.

And at Xmas you can do turkey, cranberry sauce & pigs in blanket toppings

Certainly not a fan of Fruit on Pizza.

Do you use a tomato base 😉 ?

tomato sauce, mozzarella, pumpkin and sage,
tomato sauce, feta, finely sliced Courgette, red onions, oregano
tomato sauce, mozzarella, spinach, red onion, and egg
tomato sauce, mozzarella, salami, topped with wafer thin slices of fennel.

Stuffed crust using cheesestrings.

complemented by the smokiness from the uuni.

Tuna and spring onions then, when almost cooked, pull the toppings away from the middle and crack an egg in there and cook until the egg still has a nice runny yolk.

Slightly below topic, and not sure it's been mentioned before, but I recently discovered this ready rolled dough for when I was camping at the weekend. Allowed me to make 12 pizzas over 2 nights without the space and fast faff of rolling. Really tasty, crisp base and I split each in 2, so that's 4 pizza per roll (£2 currently in Sainsbury's local too)
