A place I used to go in Chattanooga had them as a topping. My favorite was orgerjng it Detroit style and EVERY time the waitress, “do you know what Detroit style is….ok do you know what Calabrian chiles are? Ok”
Idk about toppings but just wanted to say, re-heating left over pizza in my air fryer made the pizza 5x better than when it originally was. Some type of voodoo in those air fryers
I've been doing this since I was a kid. Any frozen pizza with added cheese/toppings becomes known as a "super pizza" in my family. I'm a single dude and I like to grill at least once a week so I have some dank meat to use throughout the week for work lunches, ramen noodles, stir fry, and super pizzas. I buy cheese pizzas because they come with fancier cheese and then I add whatever I got grilled up (usually pork loin or chicken) and I add some extra cheese of my own just to make sure i'ts a true "super pizza"
I had this one friend who dipped her pizza in honey back in high school, and we gave her so much shit for it. We thought she was so weird, none of us had ever heard of anyone doing that before and she kept trying to tell us that it was a thing other people did too, and we weren't buying it.
Local pizza place does a version of that with Granny Smith apples instead of pear, with a balsamic reduction and arugula. I'll eat that pizza any time!
Love some loaded Baked Potato Pizza. Sour cream instead of pizza sauce topped with low moisture mozzarella, thin potato slices, bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Our local place makes it.
I do the Occasional cheeseburger pizza at the bar I run. Meat cheese onions and then shredded lettuce fresh tomatoes and pickles at the end. It’s pretty popular.
Anchovies. If you're not weirded out by fish, it's actually really awesome. Anchovies and pepperoni go really well together. Also Anchovies and sausage. It's saltiness pairs well with the spices in the other two ingredients.
Next time you make a red sauce sauté some anchovy in the olive oil, then add garlic, then the tomatoes. When the sauce is ready blitz it with a stick blender or regular blender. Most people don’t realize those delicious red sauces at nice restaurants contain anchovy for that extra umami kick.
Only problem I have is pizza place rarely have fresh anchovies and just slap them on there whole. Chop em up a little so you get some in each bite. Not a mouthful if salt fish
I love them. Everybody I know hates them. So I never get to eat them when I go out for pizza with others. I get complaints even if I order them on the side.
This makes me think of breakfast pizza, which is cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. It’s so good and Casey’s gas station serves them in the morning if you have one near you.
I ordered a pickle pizza recently and it was AMAZING. Instead of marinara it was a garlic base with extra fontinella cheese, drizzled ranch and dill seasoning.
Pineapple and pepperoni is a personal favorite. The spice of the pepperoni cuts the sweetness of the pineapple. Definitely converted some people with this combo.
This but unironically. Internet memes aside, pineapple is one of those things that don’t make sense on pizza logically, but it somehow works. Pineapple & olives are the best pizza toppings and nobody will change my mind.
If you like pineapple, try it with some peach slices! I was living in Peru and a small pizza shop did ham, pineapple, and peaches and it was delicious!
Onions are massively underrated. And recently I saw a local pizzeria do a mix of marinara and pesto along with little drops of fresh mozz. It looked amazing. It was art. The sauces were separated and done in a diagonal pattern. So you had this beautiful red and white and green deliciousness. I’m vegan so I veganized it with vegan pesto (simply no cheese added) and vegan mozz (which is delicious) and it is my favorite thing. Go try it.
I don’t know if it’s unusual, but tuna on pizza is delicious. I was extremely doubtful when I first tried it, but it instantly became my favourite pizza topping.
Calabrian Chiles. A local place did Calabrian Chiles and Pepperoni which is now my single favorite topping combo.
I go for Banana peppers but yeah a similar idea. Pepperoni, banana pepper, and bacon. Unbeatable.
A place I used to go in Chattanooga had them as a topping. My favorite was orgerjng it Detroit style and EVERY time the waitress, “do you know what Detroit style is….ok do you know what Calabrian chiles are? Ok”
Idk about toppings but just wanted to say, re-heating left over pizza in my air fryer made the pizza 5x better than when it originally was. Some type of voodoo in those air fryers
Totally agree. Air fryer is a game changer for reheating pizza, as well as other things like French fries.
Add some different cheese on top of frozen pizza, changes the game
I've been doing this since I was a kid. Any frozen pizza with added cheese/toppings becomes known as a "super pizza" in my family. I'm a single dude and I like to grill at least once a week so I have some dank meat to use throughout the week for work lunches, ramen noodles, stir fry, and super pizzas. I buy cheese pizzas because they come with fancier cheese and then I add whatever I got grilled up (usually pork loin or chicken) and I add some extra cheese of my own just to make sure i'ts a true "super pizza"
Ricotta is so underrated on pizza.
So you are saying that cheese is an “unusually” good topping for pizza?
Yesss I've done this for years. The frozen ones don't come with enough cheese sometimes!
Feta is MMMM
Feta mmmmmm
Spicy Honey
Mike's Hot Honey + Pepperoni ftw.
I had this one friend who dipped her pizza in honey back in high school, and we gave her so much shit for it. We thought she was so weird, none of us had ever heard of anyone doing that before and she kept trying to tell us that it was a thing other people did too, and we weren't buying it.
Heck yeah. Even regular honey. So good.
If you don’t end the meal with some honey on your crust, you are doing it wrong.
Hot honey on a pepperoni or hawaiian is the fuckin best. Actually hot honey on anything is the best
I had a pear, caramelized onion, and Gorgonzola pizza last night and it was AMAZING
Local pizza place does a version of that with Granny Smith apples instead of pear, with a balsamic reduction and arugula. I'll eat that pizza any time!
You would love a toasted walnut, fig, goat cheese pizza then! There are so many interesting combinations that are deliciously amazing!
Gorgonzola and pear is a very traditional and tasty pizza!
Pear and gorgonzola is a fantastic combination
pear is very fine on pizza, coming from an Italian dude :-D
Potatoes in thin slices
Love some loaded Baked Potato Pizza. Sour cream instead of pizza sauce topped with low moisture mozzarella, thin potato slices, bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Our local place makes it.
My submission as well. Really nice counterbalance to "loud" toppings such as gorgonzola, bacon and jalapenos.
Boston pizza spicy perogie
Caramelized onions
Try it with roasted red peppers and salami.
Caramelized onions are the best ingredient in food. Don’t @ me
I do onions with balsamic for pizza, absolute game changer.
Ate pizza with caramelized onions two days ago, still haven't moved on
I thought this was normal but alr
Add roasted garlic and ham.
Pesto base, roast or confit potato, blue cheese, rosemary.
Roasted potatoes on pizza is heaven, pesto is a gimme guarantee
So I went to a local pizza spot, and tried a pizza with strawberries on it.
This is the first answer I’ve seen that seems remotely unusual.
I had one with blueberries and goat cheese a few years back - it was really good!
are the strawberries served cold/raw on top of the pizza is cooked or do they get cooked with everything else?
Once saw a pizza place that advertised their banana and tuna pizza. Didn’t try it myself.
Fucking wildcard over here.
Strawberries, avocado and goat cheese are a solid combo
Nduja
Can't fucking move in London without tripping over some Nduja
Today I learned of the existence of nduja and now must find it in my city.
The nduja and burrata pizza is the shit. I always get it when I go to eat in one of my local pizzerias.
tamarind sauce
Having only used tamarind paste in small amounts because its so potent, how does this work. Spread a bit around?
I love the sourness of tamarind.
🤯 sign me up
My invention when I owned a pizza place. Clams Casino Pizza
Roasted garlic.
Recommended lunch before job interviews. /s!
hot giardiniera
A place by me does it with Italian beef and I like to add pineapples to it. Hit all those flavor profiles.
Really fresh arugula put on after the pizza comes out of the oven and drizzled with EVOO, salt and pepper. Makes any pizza a delight!
Add some prosciutto to it - that’s a common combo in Northern Italy.
Yes arugula is the best thing since sliced bread.
Ricotta
Ricotta on anything but especially pizza! Yum!!
Sauerkraut, I swear you don't really taste it on the pizza but it makes the sauce delicious and bright.
NEIN!
Yes! I' put it on frozen pizzas before I bake them and it's amazing.
Pickles. The local place makes an amazing “cuban” pizza
Okay, you win. Best unusual one yet (i.e will probably be nice, and I've never seen it before)
Seconded. Pickles, mustard, and ham. One of our regular rotation favorites to make ever since being introduced to it last year.
I do the Occasional cheeseburger pizza at the bar I run. Meat cheese onions and then shredded lettuce fresh tomatoes and pickles at the end. It’s pretty popular.
Feta Cheese
There’s a Greek restaurant near me that does a pizza with goat cheese, feta, and gyro meat. It’s delicious.
Spinach Feta White Pizza...fantastic
They offer that at dominoes..
Its a pretty common pizza topping where im from
Pickled fennel, a local restaurant does farmers market pizzas. Once it had pickled fennel on it and that was amazing.
Real green Chiles
This! Keyword is real.
Oyster mushrooms!
Yep. Morels are even better.
Beetroot and goat cheese. I was skeptical, but wow.
Toasted cashews
Broccoli.
Only if it was flashed cooked first. I had it on raw and the difference in textures was off putting
Broccoli is amazing on pizza. Broccoli + Mushrooms + Meat is what I get, every single time.
There’s a place by me that does a roasted broccoli pizza with pine nuts and a light balsamic glaze. So delicious.
I’m obsessed with broccoli on pizza!
Artichoke
Artichoke Basille’s Pizza 😋
Pretty standard for pizza, non?
Me-n-Ed's Valley Veggie Pizza turned me onto this.
Jalapenos. Spice it up every once in a while.
Jalapeño and pepperoni pizza was my go to for like a year.
In the same vein but for less spice tolerant people (like myself) banana peppers
Unusual?
Jalapeños and banana peppers are my go to toppings right now
Jalapeno and Pinapple yuuummmm
Jalapeños with pineapple to balance the spice. And black olives, cos they go with everything. Sweet, salty, spicy. Perfection.
With this in mind, Tabasco sauce. Spritz it on top with some jalapeños. chefs kiss
Anchovies. If you're not weirded out by fish, it's actually really awesome. Anchovies and pepperoni go really well together. Also Anchovies and sausage. It's saltiness pairs well with the spices in the other two ingredients.

Next time you make a red sauce sauté some anchovy in the olive oil, then add garlic, then the tomatoes. When the sauce is ready blitz it with a stick blender or regular blender. Most people don’t realize those delicious red sauces at nice restaurants contain anchovy for that extra umami kick.
Only problem I have is pizza place rarely have fresh anchovies and just slap them on there whole. Chop em up a little so you get some in each bite. Not a mouthful if salt fish
I don't like how every pizza place puts them on whole. Cut them up and spread them around a bit.
years ago, anchovies on pizza was quite common.
Anchovies and olives ❤️
I love them. Everybody I know hates them. So I never get to eat them when I go out for pizza with others. I get complaints even if I order them on the side.
Hey that's not unusual, a lot of pizza recipes use them
Spicy honey or fig jam
Fig jam with prosciutto and arugula. Soooo good
Eggplant. Vegetable pizza with eggplant is divine.
Fried eggplant on pizza. A local Italian restaurant does it and it's sooo good.
Agree on eggplant. Grilled eggplant on pizza is the bomb.
Pesto
Yes! Margarita with pesto is the tits!
My go-to at Mellow Mushroom is replacing the base sauce with pesto. So good.
Blue cheese. Especially Stilton. Divine.
Smoked salmon and capers
Hot honey drizzle
Every one of these honey suggestions are weirdly sexual and demanding
Pine nuts
SATAY FUCKING SAUCE! Put that on your pizza. Please.
Satay and what?
First one I've recoiled at
Sweet bubbly Jesus I've got to try that. Chicken and fresh mozzarella?
Smoked salmon
Pastrami, mustard and pickles. The ingredients to pastrami sandwich.
Fried egg.
This makes me think of breakfast pizza, which is cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. It’s so good and Casey’s gas station serves them in the morning if you have one near you.
shaved brussel sprouts; i typically saute in bacon fat first
I came here expecting weird new toppings but instead found everything that can be found on a Domino's menu..
You clearly haven’t seen the bananas, pickles, satay sauce, beets peanut butter or tuna.
Pineapple
Pears.
totino's pizza rolls
My hungry guys!
Cream cheese.
Cauliflower
Roasted garlic, onions
Mango habanero hot sauce. Then add ranch.
Spinach and gorgonzola!
Fried eggplant + fresh garlic
I ordered a pickle pizza recently and it was AMAZING. Instead of marinara it was a garlic base with extra fontinella cheese, drizzled ranch and dill seasoning.
green olives
Green olives are unusual on a pizza where you are from?
I scrolled way too far to find this. Green olives are the best!
Banana peppers
How is that unusual? Thought banana peppers were pretty common topping
Banana peppers & black olives is my favorite combo.
Angus beef and Blue cheese. This has been my revelation of 2022.
I agree with blue cheese. The taste is godly.
Dates
Salami and honey
Arugula and pancetta
I love broccoli on cheese pizza....and my fiance dumps applesauce on cheap frozen pepperoni pizzas.
Duck bacon, caramelized onion, roasted garlic, Mozzarella, Gruyère
Mango. I lately make slight variations of BBQ chicken pizzas and mango slices are always on it. My family of five approves (even near-3-years-old).
Roasted aubergine and pine nuts
Corn. Or soft goat cheese. It gets extra melty and it's yum
Why did I have to scroll this far for corn? Corn is amazing on pizza. It's almost a default topping in many countries.
A place I love in Cincinnati has a pizza with corn and jalapeños that’s incredible.
PINEAPPLE
Pineapple! Fight me!!!!
with swine?
Pineapple/bacon is my favorite pizza, people love to hate, but they are missing out!
Pineapple and pepperoni is a personal favorite. The spice of the pepperoni cuts the sweetness of the pineapple. Definitely converted some people with this combo.
Pineapple gang rise up.
I’ll fight on your side. Pineapple is the best.
Pesto
Pineapple, fight me bitches
Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top. Boost any frozen or homemade pizza.
I wonder if Italians know what "Italian seasoning" is.
I swear nobody does this. Keep shakers of oregano and basil just to put on delivery pizza.
BBQ sauce
Pineapple
This but unironically. Internet memes aside, pineapple is one of those things that don’t make sense on pizza logically, but it somehow works. Pineapple & olives are the best pizza toppings and nobody will change my mind.
If you like pineapple, try it with some peach slices! I was living in Peru and a small pizza shop did ham, pineapple, and peaches and it was delicious!
Pineapple and ham are good combo
Pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeños. You’ll thank me later.
Anything seafood, clams, shrimp and anchovies
Kiwi's
Hot Honey
egg
Onions are massively underrated. And recently I saw a local pizzeria do a mix of marinara and pesto along with little drops of fresh mozz. It looked amazing. It was art. The sauces were separated and done in a diagonal pattern. So you had this beautiful red and white and green deliciousness. I’m vegan so I veganized it with vegan pesto (simply no cheese added) and vegan mozz (which is delicious) and it is my favorite thing. Go try it.
downvote me if you want but i enjoy putting some potato chips on my pizza. adds crunch
Walnuts on pizza is pretty good, I had it in Italy but have never seen it available anywhere else.
Another pizza
Probably the most popular pizza topping combo in South Africa is bacon, avo and feta.
Mushroom, prawn, spring onions
Pineapple 😈
I don’t know if it’s unusual, but tuna on pizza is delicious. I was extremely doubtful when I first tried it, but it instantly became my favourite pizza topping.
Tuna on pizza is a very popular standard topping in most of Europe including Italy. I was really surprised when i heard it's not a thing in the US.
Tuna & spinach was popular in Germany and I found out why. It's delicious!
Tuna, onions and oregano - give it a try
Figs! (my favorite—with arugula and prosciutto...maybe pesto?)
Pineapple
Dried tomatoes
