PIZZA toppings?

At least you're consuming your much needed second hand bovine growth hormone.

I for one have tried pineapple on pizza a number of times. It is just too sweet a topping to make sense for my tastes, and also too juicy and squishy a texture for pizza, at least in the sizes it has tended to be cut when I tried it.

You definitely need to balance the sweet and that is why I prefer it with bacon & Canadian bacon + jalapenos. In my experience the cooking process dries out the pineapple enough to fit the problem of too much juice on the pizza.

Tried a pork belly and potato pizza today at an Italian restaurant that my GF and I frequent. It was kinda weird. Don't know what came over me. Guess it was the "pork belly." It was "ok" but not what I was expecting.

The GF & I finished 2/3rds of it but we normally don't leave a cumb on the platter.

This is the description from the menu: Tuscan Pork belly, Shallott, Provolette, Rosemary Parsley, Potato, Parmesan Crust.

Sounded good until I saw it. Like I said, weird. LOL! ;)

That'll teach me to stick w/what I know and like -- a plain old MEAT LOVERS PIZZA!!! ;)

The description is better than it looks it also fails to inform you of what type of sauce because while those flavors sound good if the sauce is a regular marinara type sauce I think you might be in for some disappointment.
 
yes a balance is usually the best bet unless it's some kind of dissert pizza. Then I say go vs all out.

otherwise a meat and olives are needed

Nope, not Pizza. This is an Arabic/Levantine Mankoosha/Manakeesh for plural. This is waaaay older than Pizza, it's ancient.. Usually a breakfast item but works anytime for me😋

Main ingredients are flat bread, olive oil & Za'tar(Arabic for thyme). But with modern variations, it is topped with cheese, or eggs, or like this one (thyme/za'tar, olive oil & cheese).

Thought i'd share ...
 
I do find the origin of foods interesting you can see how it went from something more simple and basic to the more complex and sometime more gourmet food we might enjoy today. Some foods we consider more common were once the foods of the upper class so it is pretty interesting to see these shifts.

Olives are actually fruit and I like them on pizza. I also like peppers. I never tried kale but I did have spinach on a pizza once. I did not like it. The only whole leaf I've ever enjoyed on a pizza was basil.

The only time I ever had green olives on pizza was alongside red bell peppers and ham. It was okay.

One of the more memorable pizzas I've had was bacon, onion, black olives, and habanero peppers.
