What's a 'strange' pizza topping that you ended up using often?

I've tried many things on pizza, most of the ingredients are dependent on what you pair them with. Broccoli and chicken go well, esp with a white sauce. Cheeseburger pizzas are fantastic (pickles included), though there's no place for iceberg lettuce on a burger or a pizza. Plenty of other combos like buffalo chicken, pear and arugula w/bacon.... As for specific uncommon ingredients I'd say cup and char pepperoni. It's better than regular and not very common. It is astounding though.

I feel like this is what having a stroke and reality gets weird is like!

Cheeseburger pizza with pickles? Buffalo chicken, pear and rocket? Fucking broccoli and anything!

Hey don't knock it till you try it. Back in ancient Roma they put fucking everything on pizza. I guarantee you some sheet wearing motherfucker would have killed a pickle pizza while watching some poor blokes murder each other for entertainment.
 
I stay away from stuff like that. I'm sure it's nominally edible, and might even be /kinda good/, but don't think I'd like any of that better than the standard pizza options that taste excellent. I'm not a fan of white sauce either. I'd rather have cheese bread, and skip the sauce altogether if it isn't red.

We might need to debate whether ancient Roma had pizza. It was more of a flatbread.

But you reminded me that I also like arugula and hot honey on pizza. Hot honey is taking over all types of restaurants now. So that may just end up being a fad.

There was an even better one that was basically crushed tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil. It just didn't look as good.
I was having a weekend away to meet friends so I thought that I'd have a me evening before the carnage of meeting them!

When we were young we ate a side of sweet pickles with Chefboyardee pizza. It's a combo that tastes surprisingly good together. You really need something to choke down that dry ass pizza lol.

Hot honey is fantastic on pizza as well, again depends on the other ingredients but just schlop some on pepperoni and you have a winner.

Yeah ancient rome's pizza was basically stuff with olive oil on flat bread but they were using what they had. Hell Rome that was had fallen for like a millennia and a half before they discovered a tomato.

I very much do not like hot honey on a pizza. It's way too sweet and, if it's good hot honey (not sugar syrup with heat) tastes too much of honey!

I mean if you don't have tomatoes then that is what a pizza is! Even with tomatoes it's just stuff on a flat bread!

Broccoli. It sounds like a war crime to put that on pizza, but it's actually really good. Same with pickles. Yes, pickles. Although I think the trick with pickles is also the sauce, as they use a different kind of sauce.

Pretty sure the Italian mafia just added my name on their kill list.

Hello, You've reached Arnold's pizza shop, I'm not here now, I'm out killing pepperoni. If you want to reach me, or you want a pizza, i don't care cause I'm not here, can't you realize that idiot?! But, if you need a pizza sometime during the next few days i could have it delivered to you, or maybe i will staple it to you. I don't care what you want on it, every pizza comes with pepperoni and with 9mm bullets on it. If you don't like it, I don't care cause you'll receive one anyhow. The only difference is, maybe the 9mm bullets will be in the gun or maybe they'll be on your pizza. If you don't fuck around, I'll give you good pizza. If you do fuck around, I'll take a pepperoni and punch it through your head. So, if you want mushrooms, shut up. If you want broccoli, what the hell is broccoli anyway, shut up with the broccoli. If you want something crazy like a pineapple, I'll kill you. If you like pepperoni and bullets, you've come to the right place. If not your an idiot and deserve to die. So, leave a name, number, serial number, how tall you are, whether your susceptible to any diseases. And if you are, I'll come over, maybe I'll give you a pizza, maybe I'll break off your arm. So, get back to me, or I'll get back to you, or I'll crush you like the will be piece of shit you are. So, leave it now.

Fresh course ground black pepper on cheddar cheese before baking. Adds a little layer of something.

Papa Murphy's puts a three cheese blend (including cheddar) on top of theirs, so it's sauce, mozzarella, toppings, three cheese blend. It's an important part of the flavor profile on their pizzas, I've tried it without and it just doesn't work for me. Haven't tossed on black pepper though, will have to give that a shot next time, I like black pepper.

Careful. I still remember the intense ridicule that I got as a child on a field trip when I put black pepper on my pizza. Tastes great, but the plebians just don't understand.
 
You know when you get a bog standard pizza that you cook yourself from the supermarket, anyone else put a shit ton of coleslaw on top after it's cooked?

My partner has been known to put kimchi on pizza (after it's cooked), so I don't know that we have anyone in our circle that would flinch at me adding black pepper 😁
