I heard of a pizza place that briefly offered avocado, broccoli, and sauerkraut on their pineapple BBQ pizzas.

I don't know if this is the one . . .

Let's hope so.

Strangest topping on a pizza that I actually enjoyed?

Arugula. My mom ordered it at a great little Mediterranean place up in Northern Virginia and I tried a slice. WOW. I did not expect salad on a pizza to be good, but that was extremely tasty.

It's mostly the food we miss from Northern Virginia. (Ok, maybe friends, too.) Cafe Sano was very good, and within walking distance for us.

"I also really like BBQ chicken pizza with cashews. "

I once had Hoisin Duck with cashews and some weird cheese.

It was mind blowingly awesome.

If you are ever in Des Moines, you'd love this place

I love the Crab Rangoon pizza and the Thai Chicken pizza.

It's still winter here, probably will still be when you arrive.

All I have to say is go look at some of the pizzas they serve in Japan. I will take the Hawaiian pizza any day over some of those!!

I'm drowning in my own drool...

Today's Wall Street Journal has an article about the divisive nature of Hawaiian pizza (Canadian bacon and pineapple). For the record, I love it. My wife does not. She will not even accept half of the pizza to be Hawaiian, over some made-up concern over 'contamination'.

I wonder if this will rank as one of the great APS schism threads, right up there with cornbread or BBQ.

Cultural Appropriation!!!

(There's a lady at church who's an actual ethnic Hawaiian. I seriously doubt she cares.)

There's a wood fired pizza place here in tampa that offers a pizza with a white sauce, cheese, Prosciutto, and sliced Brussels Sprouts. It's actually pretty dang good.

Love Hawaiian pizza. Donatos as a really good Hawaiian pizza, with shaved ham, pineapple, almonds and cinnamon.

Wow. I do miss Donatos.

It's pretty damn good, especially with a couple Mai Tai's.

Well maybe someday they will follow White Castles and put a store out in Las Vegas.

There is a place (or 2) by that name here. Pretty sure they're not the same. In fact, Donatos web site doesn't show any here.

And we have 2 White Castles here now, TYVM!

I am very disappointed in myself, just now. Though I feel that tacos should always be made with beef*, my wife made some chicken tacos this weekend that were not half bad. But it gets worse. While she was at it, she made something she called "Mexican pizza," also with chicken. And though I know it's a sin to eat chicken pizza, I tried it. And I liked it. Please pray for me.

*Though I wouldn't turn down venison tacos, or goat tacos, come to think of it. Gyros, etc.

Venison pizza?

People have been putting various things on flat bread for millennia. I was kind of ambivalent about Hawaiian pizza, but if fistful hates it, it must be good.

This place is local to me, and the General Tso's and Thai Chicken pizzas were very good.

The question is did she use taco sauce or tomato sauce for the Mexican pizza?

Some folks here have severely limited palates. Seriously, I feel sorry for some of you.
There ain't nothing I've tried on a pizza that I didn't like. Even some of the crazy stuff on pizzas in Japan.

HeroHog · « **Reply #45 on:** April 18, 2018, 07:40:12 PM »

I like Pineapple on pizza, so does the wife. I also like the hairy little fish (Anchovies) on pizza! No peppers, jalapeno or bell, and that's pretty much it. The rest is just fine by me.

I do one better, I avoid any food combination that involves meat and pineapple. Really any cooked pineapple since whatever cake that uses it is nasty.

Best odd topping is think sliced pieces of lemon, rind and all.

Someone brought in Hawaiian pizza at an office party a couple of years ago. Wasn't bad or anything, which was surprising to me, just not something I'd order up for myself.
