Fresh tomatoes whether it's grape, cherry, beefsteak, or roma add a nice juicy bite every once in a while

Pineapple. Of all the people that hate it, I'm not convinced the majority have tried it (exceptions for those who hate pineapple on its own)

Edit: also it's best on white pizza

The underrated combos is where the gains are.

Anchovies with olives and capers.

We all know pineapple and Canadian bacon (can also be Spam).

Pepperoni and jalapeΓ±os.

Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.

Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Pepperoni and jalapenos is my favorite but it is also the kryptonite to my usually indestructible digestive system. I get green peppers instead which is still very good but not the same.

[–] Peaches@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Figs have to be a top contender. I've never heard anyone suggest them, yet it's great. There's one place I go that serves with prosciutto, fig preserves, and a balsamic glaze.

Feta. Sure, pizza tends to be already covered in cheese, but this is different cheese, and that is a good thing. I think it goes well with some of my other faves, such as green olives, pineapple, banana peppers.

Salami. It's like pepperoni, but different.

Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce, together with a few toppings like chicken and red onion, is heavenly, and doesn't seem to cause heartburn.

[–] Gieselbrecht@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I agree regarding the Feta (and then Tsatsiki on top, it's heaven). Otherwise: Margherita is simply the best.

[–] Noerknhar@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Try it before you judge me: pineapple, anchovies, a tad Tabasco. It's absolutely brilliant.

Arugula adds a sharp flavor that really pairs with cheese well. Might be controversial, but I'm a big fan of the salad pizzas. The best tend to be the house salads of romaine, red onion, tomato, and olives up ended atop a good thin crust pizza with plenty of sauce.

Edit: Oh!! If making an arugula salad pizza, I find it works best when paired with something incredibly salty, like anchovy, used very sparingly, some thinly sliced pecorino romano, and a drizzle of good balsamic (that thick shit, not the watery cheapo one). Throw some halved sweet cherry tomatoes on there and some thin sliced onions? Oh! One of my favorite meals after a night of drinking.

Sundried tomatoes. Goat cheese.

I love pineapple, the sweetness goes great with other savory toppings.

[–] ReanuKeeves@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pineapple, sausage, and Jalepeno is my go to because I usually have those in the freezer

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooo, Salty Sausage or Savory Sausage?

peanuts. don't knock it unless you've tried a chicken-peanut-curry-pineapple pizza

I love cranberry and camembert pizza

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Pineapple and pepperoni, Prosciutto, Salami, Hot sauce/hot honey, Buffalo sauce/bbq sauce instead of pizza sauce

One of my favorites is bbq sauce, brisket, cheese and, hear me out, diced pickles

[–] gloktawasright@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Roasted potatoes paired with chicken or beef and onion

Also pears, blue cheese, candied pecans, and balsamic glaze

No one mentioned goat cheese+honey ? Maybe just an European thing !

I had pear slices on a pizza once expecting it to be kinda weird at best, and it was genuinely fantastic.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Fresh corn is weird but gives a similar sweet juicy effect. I like corn+feta+chile peppers

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Roasted garlic. Everytime I go to Mod pizza I cannot forget the roasted garlic. And yes, I always get it with pineapple

One time I made a pizza with cremini, wood ear fungus, chanterelles, morels, shiitake, oyster, and enoki mushrooms. I called it "fungal infection" and it was delicious.

Here in Chicago we enjoy a thin crust with Italian beef and hot giardiniera.

Worst is tomato slices. Waaaayyyy too watery. It is like someone left your pizza out in the rain.

Fig jam. A local place makes a fig jam and bacon artisanal pizza that's to die for.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I got one that is more cursed then underrated:

Mac and cheese pizza, but right before you eat a bite you pour a tiny bit of cola on it first.

I don’t know if you cancan call it underrated, but bacon and egg is the best pizza

My toppings of choice are olives, mushrooms, and pineapple.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Jalapenos are too important to me to not consider them generally underrated.

[–] BertramDitore@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Charred fatty goose breast.

Blew my mind.

My personal favorite is pineapple, mushroom, and jalapeΓ±o. Sweet, savory, and a dash of spiciness. Then I’ll usually add some dried scotch bonnet flakes if I’m eating at home because I’m a fiend for spice and scotch bonnets are delicious

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Pineapple with red onion, black olives, and jalapeΓ±os

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

Tapatio hot sauce (or Valentinos), Crystal hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, sriracha.

All on the same pizza.

Cream cheese and black olives πŸ‘Œoh so good

[–] dave@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Sardines, olives, capers.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Artichoke hearts

Prosciutto

Black olives

[–] octobob@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Either kalamata or green olives. I like green olives with pepperoni, kalamata usually by themselves.

Another all-timer is anchovies + mushroom. It's basically a fish stew if done the right way

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I order the vegetarian pizza because I like all the vegetables but then I add two toppings of meat because I like meat.

My ideal trifecta - fresh tomatoes, green olives, pepperoni

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

Ketchup.

Edit: step aside, pineapple on pizza. There’s a new topping people get uppity about now!

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

In Brazil I ate pizza with ketchup and mayo on it all the time. It was a thing there. The ketchup was a bit thinner and less sweet than Heinz.

I love adding black olives or banana peppers to pizza along with a meat (usually pepperoni or meatball). Banana peppers specifically give it the contrasting flavor that I think people like from adding pineapple to a pizza, but without being so pineapple.
