California Club Pizza.

Forget red sauce or white sauce, thin crust or deep dish — the real question is salad or no salad? On top, that is.
New Yorkers are talking after a curious image popped up on the Long Island Foodies Facebook page: a slice of pizza topped with a chicken Caesar salad.
“It’s a bad picture, but in your experience, is a salad slice normally on a regular slice?” Sam Marshak asked his fellow foodies. “I’ve never seen this, so just curious what the norm is.”
Yes, if you’re like this reporter and didn’t know, “salad pizza” is a thing.
The pies are typically made sans the tomato sauce, with either melted mozzarella cheese or no cheese, and then adorned with raw leafy greens, according to the blog SliceLife.com.
As with all culinary creations, there are no hard rules when it comes to building the perfect salad pizza, though popular renditions include garden, Greek, kale, and Caesar salads.
Not surprisingly, reaction to Marshak’s post was mixed, with one user calling it “an abomination.” “Blasphemy,” replied another.
It wasn't all bad, though: “I think it looks yummy,” said one commenter from Fort Salonga.
“Def not the norm but I’d eat it," said another.
One incredulous user suggested the government get involved: “Board of health should be called on the place for serving that slice.”
On Long Island, the following restaurants earned shoutouts for their own salad pizzas:
Satellite Pizza in Bayport
-La Bistro Pizzeria in Coram
-East End Pizza in Long Beach
-Caffe Amici in Selden

Where do you stand on the salad pizza debate? Sound off in our poll above.
When a Dominos or Pizza Hut opens in Little Italy, then it will be over for New York.
It doesn’t sound like the pizza I grew up to like. If I wanted salad pizza, I think it would make more sense just to order a salad. Can you get a potato salad pizza?
No thanks.
Mod pizza has been doing that for ages. It’s not really a pizza salad. It’s a salad, with a bakes pizza crust with spices and cheese on it to the side. Really it’s croutons writ large. Yummy.
Potato salad pizza? How about a macaroni salad pizza? YUCK on both!
As someone who is making beef ribs tomorrow - bookended by pizza today & Monday - I have only one word:
Sacrilege!!!!
White sauce is not a pizza.
A round flat bread covered in something is not a pizza.
Tell me you’re a Homo without telling me…
California Club Pizza.
I know. I’d rather order a salad on the side.
Wolfgang Puck came out with BBQ chicken pizza. Then two lawyers who ate there ripped off his idea and opened California Pizza Kitchen.
But lettuce pizza is a step too far for me.
Salad on the side, with Balsamic vinaigrette, that’s fine.
I am allergic to salad. And fruit. Self proclaimed. I will eat most vegetables.
Not for me, but I suppose just more one step since people started putting ranch dressing on pizza.
Wow I guess it’s not just me. I love a nice garden salad with a slice of cheese pizza and yes I put it on top (if I am not eating in public). It is wonderful. But I don’t think I want it already made this way. Too much risk of the salad getting warm and the lettuce losing its crispiness.
You order it McDLT style.
Where is the Kamunism word salad pizza with red sauce?
Used to say the same about clams on a pizza, but damn that’s good. At least in New Haven and surrounding areas.
Where are you still getting whole beef ribs??!!! I haven’t been able to get them for years.
There is also nothing to be done to Captain Crunch. No crunchberries, peanutbutter, etc..... Ice cream may have one flavor companion. Peaches, strawberries, pecans, etc.... No moose tracks mocha cappuccino weasel crunch.
Call me crazy. Same with booze. Neat or on rocks. Twist or olive. No microbrewery grapefruit beers either. Simple is best. Straight forward and tasty.
