Toppings on Pizza

[TarionzCousin]

What is the weirdest thing you've ever seen put on a pizza?

On the radio today, they read an article that said ketchup is a common pizza topping in Brazil. [MENTION=607]Klaus[/MENTION], say it ain't so!

One of the "gourmet" pizza chains in my hometown puts stuff like this on its regular pizzas:

• Squash
• Spinach
• Feta Cheese
• Walnuts
• Barbecue chicken
• Thai peanut chicken (or shrimp)

Just a couple weeks ago, on a trip to NYC, I had braised lamb on pizza. Tasty!

Anything other than pepperoni and bacon...

It took me a while to get used to the sunny-side up eggs on pizzas I had in France.

While in the military in Germany a common topping was tuna...
And the pepperoni there was actually salami - good but . . . different.
Also, while there I saw a Greek variation of pizza that used goat.

And while I never actually saw it myself, someone who I knew that was stationed in Berlin said the Russian's across the wall (at the time) liked their pizza with borscht pulp (i.e. boiled beets).

The average philistine here in Brazil will splash a pizza with ketchup and mustard. A minority is able to enjoy the flavors of the pizza without resorting to that sin. In São Paulo (where the Italian community is largest), no one eats pizza with ketchup or mustard.

Australian pizza huts have, at one stage or another, served:
Spinach and feta pizza, and also spinach, fetta and chicken (it's out now, and it's great!)
BBQ chicken is pretty much universal (again - delicious)
Satay chicken is pretty common (and yummy). There was one pizza that had satay sauce instead of tomato sauce.
There's a cheezeburger pizza with mayonnaise in a swirl on top of it

Ketchup and mustard on a pizza sounds pretty tame by aussie standards.

A very popular topping in the Netherlands is shawarma, complete with garlic sauce.

I'm pretty traditional. I like good cheese and Pepperoni or Italian Sausage. The best is an independent place with good beer on tap, but I frequently settle for chains.

Papa Murphy's, however, makes a really good Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke pizza.

Must be a West Coast thing. I've seen all those you listed. Shrimp definitely qualified as my "weirdest" thing ever. Goat Cheese, I've also seen, which just grossed me out, smell-wise. I didn't dare try a bite.

California Pizza Kitchen loves to claim they were the first to give us the BBQ Chicken pizza. I wish they would take it back.

I'm a traditionalist. "Deluxe" is about as weird as I want to get.
