Unusual pizza toppings?

One of my favorites is a cheese pizza where the tomato sauce has been replaced with BBQ sauce. Dip it in ranch dressing and consume. I think this is what I will have for lunch today.
 
I've had pheasant on pizza. The pizza place I worked at offered yellow squash and zuccini (sp?), as well as artichoke hearts and broccoli.
 
I like roasted red peppers on my pizza. I also like artichoke hearts as well.
 
Artichoke hearts
capers
green chilis

Maybe not all on the same pizza though...

This one time we ordered a sausage pizza in Arkansas, they put breakfast sausage on it instead.

It wasn't necessarily bad, just weird.
 
I once had a BLT pizza with mayo instead of tomato sauce. It was quite good.

Other unique pizza bits:
BBQ sauce
Pineapple (actually good)
Shrimp (:thumbdn: )
Squid
Lobster
Hot sauce (on a 'mexican' pizza)
and once, a pizza with seven different cheeses
 
Sourkraut, Really it's good!

Someone else mentioned BBQ sauce, My sister in law worked at a pizzaria for about 10 years and they had one customer who ordered that every week.

There is a chain pizza place in Detroit called Hungry Howies and they had a Coney dog pizza (Coney dogs are very popular in Detroit). The pizza has hot dog chili inplace of tomato sauce, it's topped with cheddar cheese and hot dog slices and diced onion and a mustard sauce for dipping.

One other place here had a cajun pizza with crawfish tails on it. I had pizza wit meatballs on it in New York

I make pizza at home and I had some left over sirloin tip I had used to make stew with so I sliced it up thin and quick browned it in a pan with onions and some Worstershire sauce and put that on a pizza with some bleu cheese mixed in with the provalone. (provalone melts better than grocery store mozerella and has more flavor. And it's cheap at Gordon Food Service.

I like the egg idea someone mentioned.

I am a type 2 diabetic and have missed having pizza for years. Recently I started making it with low carb whole wheat tortillas as crust and am enjoying it again. As I am also salt restricted, no anchovies allowed. I think my favorite is with mushrooms, green onions, fresh thick sliced jalepenos, garlic slices and pineapple chunks.

Steve, have you seen the La Tortilla Factory wraps at Wal-Mart? The Rosemary flavor has 12 gms fiber and the white tortilla flavor has 13 gms fiber. I wonder how those would work into your dietary needs?
 
Another vote for pineapple, I also like big chunks of onion, crispy bacon,
cornmeal sprinkled on the oiled pan before putting the dough on,
rolling up chunks of cheese or slices of red pepper into the crust for dipping in ranch dressing or extra sauce, donair sauce for dipping or adding on top,
(pretty much an east coast of canada thing, everyone else uses tzatziki sauce.) Its made of condensed milk, some sugar, garlic powder, and a little vinegar to whip it up. Unbelievably good.
 
Two of the best pizzas I ever had weren't really anything spectacular, they were just well made. One was from a family owned joint in Jacksonville, MD that put some bay leaves on a cheese pizza, and it just tasted great. The other was a place that has now been closed called Grannys Pizza in Ocean City MD. They had some of the best, freshest sweet peppers I've ever had on a pizza.

What I prefer on pizza may seem strange to some, but I can't have good pizza without sweet peppers, onions and mushrooms. Only Unos deep dish pie can compare. Around my area these days, nobody has good pie any more, even Unos has gone down hill.

Unos did have a seafood pizza, it was too greasy for me, but tasted pretty good. They also had a spicy pizza, with super spicy chicken, peppers etc.

You sure that wasn't basil leaves on that pizza? Bay leaves are too hard and sharp to eat and whole bay leaves should always be removed from food before serving.

I buy something similar at Sam's Club. 5g of countable carbs and it only takes 4 to make a pizza big enough for three meals.
 
One of my favorite types of pizza is a white pizza (NOT the white sauce crap, it is an oil based sauce, kind of like a pesto for pizza or something like that) with sliced fresh tomatoes under the cheese + whatever toppings you may want. Great stuff.
 
A friend and I ordered a fried onion ring pizza. The guys at the pizza place thought it was funny, but they made it and it was actually good.

Donato's pizza chain offered a smokehouse pizza with onion ring bits on it, as well as other barbequed stuff. I don't remember exactly was on it, but it was good. (with the regular pizza sause it was good, they offered it with a barbeque type pizza sauce, which was just WAY too much BBQ for me!)
Here it is:
Smokehouse BBQ
- Bacon
- Ham
- Sausage
- Aged Provolone cheese
- Crispy french fried onions
- Smoky barbecue sauce (nasty, not bad with regular pizza sauce, I ordered it once with 1/2 and 1/2 and it was good.)
