In this area there is/was a pizza chain called Happy Joes.
Their claim to fame was the “Happy Joe’s Special” which consisted of Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut as the toppings.
It was quite successful and tasty too. (Many German descendants in the area so maybe not hugely surprising.)
The founder, Happy Joe Whittie sold out or retired or passed away and the chain has floundered. I haven’t been to one in years but there are still a few around.
I made a Korean BBQ pizza with Kimchi the other day. Turned out great!
My daughter is a vegan and makes these green abortions she calls “pizzas”. The only thing green that’s supposed to be on a pizza is a pepper. Vegan “pizzas” are stomach wrenching. Don’t get me started on the tofu. Is disowning an option?
Pineapple? Feh!
Anchovies, only if they are put on afterwards and not baked into the pizza.
I think spinach would be OK if it were chopped up finely and mixed in with the sauce. I have done this with sauce I put in stuffed shells or lasagna and it takes the sauce to another level.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and they are now offering a gyro pizza with gyro meat, red onions, tomatoes, green olives and feta cheese and it was delicious.
I used to love pizza, but then I developed milk protein sensitivity, and cannot eat cheese.
I would love to see cheeseless pizzas that allow other meat, fish, seafood, and vegetable toppings. But the only cheeseless pizzas that are ready available are “vegan” pizzas with veggies only. I am NOT a vegan!!!!
Cheeseless pizzas with seafood and in some cases fish would also allow for Orthodox fast days. (Any help from the few remaining Greek pizzerias?)
Traditional Italian pizza baked in an authentic oven, with tomato sauce and mozzarella fiordilatte, served piping hot to the table and consumed with a knife & fork. Part of multi-course fine dining. Some vino to drink. If all the “toppings” are desired, enjoy some antipasto. Then the pasta! And on goes the meal for a long time, with much conversing and laughter.
I won’t put them on pizza but they are yummy with Italian bread and provolone....
Eel is the most popular pizza topping in Japan. Of course, they also like weird ice cream flavors, like
...caviar
The older tyme Shakey’s chain had a Canadian bacon (essentially ham) and pineapple pizza that was a huge favorite in college years, and very tasty!
Yes it is. There’s lots of folks up here who will make fun of it, but when I get a pizza, that’s almost always what it is.
The noxious toppings: pineapple, bbq sauce, egg, broccoli, tuna, ranch dressing, corn, and whatever is in a “dessert pizza”.
The others are fine.
Anchovies, black olives, and extra garlic....Yummm!
The Italian Restaurant in Maryland that I used to frequent, did a seafood pizza. White sauce. Pricey but delicious.

Grew up on Canadian bacon and pineapple. I do pepperoni and pineapple these days. There is something about Canadian bacon that bothers me. Don’t know if it’s the “Canadian” or the “bacon” part that is deceptive.
