arugula

ah

I mean I like arugula! have yall really never seen a wackier pizza menu than this?

"ham hock and Edam" seems weirdly specific

Also, "bacon and brie" as a pizza better not be on a tomato-based sauce

"ham and mushroom" sounds like someone wanted to make a savory Hawaiian pizza

i love bbq but it does not belong on a pizza imo

right, is nothing more offensive than bbq + cheese and bread?!

oh wait no that's delicious

my only experience w/blue cheese + pizza was when i was on the east coast and you'd get these really doughy and soft giant pizzas and they'd come with a bowl of blue cheese on the side (usually you'd get some hot wings too) and you'd dip everything in that gunk.

BBQ on pizza is gross af. You don't mix sauces.

Um, a BBQ pizza substitutes BBQ sauce for the base, otherwise someone is fucking up.

DJP gets it

I am usually a pizza traditionalist but some of the best pizzas I've ever had were a thin crust BBQ chicken pizza with light BBQ sauce as the base and, my gold standard non-traditional pizza I've never seen recreated, a taco pizza with a base refried beans topped with seasoned taco beef, black olives, cheddar and mozzarella cheese with fresh lettuce, sour cream and salsa added to the top post-oven.

On the flip side, I've tried several different attempts at tandoori chicken pizza and no

enjoying the idea that toppings could obscure someone serving you a pizza based on a large ritz cracker with ketchup on top

if you want to make a cheap decent pizza at home i actually recommend using the lavash flatbreads from Trader Joe's as a crust, they crisp up in an oven really nicely at about 400 degrees. a little sauce, a little cheese, some basil, some cooked sausage. Bellissimo!

i remind everybody that the best accompaniment to pizza is a side of ketchup so i was at dinner with a britisher. she ordered a prawn and rocket pizza. when it came, she put ketchup on it. I have pics

Heh I find that gross but then again I can't be on my high horse too much cause whatever topping I have on my pizza I will proceed to ruin it w hot sauce

fresh arugula on a pizza is delicious but blue cheese? no

but this rules!

considering that margherita is the standard by which pizzerias and pizza itself can and should be judged, I would not hesitate to order one at any time.

Huh? Blue cheese can be incredible on pizza. There's no rules

put anything you want on pizza just go easy on the pile ups

the best pizza i've eaten come from places that are probably russian mafia fronts

Granny Dainger OTM. Pizza is a canvas on which to paint

ok but can we agree that it should be a canvas and not a sculpture/diorama

Huh? Blue cheese can be incredible on pizza. There's no rules

cool, enjoy your rhubarb pizza

blue cheese and apple slices

and walnuts

pizza is a mixed media piece

no, sorry, pecans

xp

i knew someone who'd order Margherita pizzas and then pour over an entire bottle of garlic sauce..

inspired by this thread, tt and I are sitting in a pizza restaurant right now

we have based our order on a reading of this thread

she has ordered the margherita and I have ordered a pizza with salmon, mascarpone and rocket as three of its principal ingredients

that taco pizza is standard around here, although my fave place does it without lettuce

heinz "taco sauce" is the necessary condiment to put on it

since the original post here was about a menu with varied options, I present the pizza menu of a local restaurant that has a wood-fired oven for your perusal

#1 Pizza
braised pork, onions, salsa verde, white beans, masa chips

#2 Pizza
tomato, mozzarella, basil, balsamic / Red Sauce

#3 Pizza
meatballs, persillade, san marzanos / White Sauce

#4 Pizza
prosciutto, guanciale, lardo / White Sauce

#5 Pizza
lamb gyro, feta, pickled onion, raita / White Sauce

#6 Pizza
figs, prosciutto, greens / White Sauce

#7 Pizza
merguez sausage, red pepper, crispy shallot / Red Sauce

#8 Pizza
chicken, red grapes, peppadews, goat cheese, greens / White Sauce

#9 Pizza
finocchiona, peppadews, olives / Red Sauce

#10 Pizza
ricotta, gruyere, mozzarella, provolone / Red Sauce

#11 Pizza
italian sausage, braised fennel, mushroom / Red Sauce

#12 Pizza
mushroom, soft egg, truffle oil / White Sauce

#13 Pizza
artichokes, feta, raita, charred onion, za'atar / Olive Oil

#14 Pizza
chorizo, pineapple, jalapeño jam / Red Sauce

#15 Pizza
spinach, goat cheese, honey, red onion / Olive Oil

again I would eat almost all of these pizzas

would try all of those. had to look up what finocchiona is.

but "olive oil" is not a sauce and that shit is a flatbread being passed off as pizza.

chicken, red grapes, peppadews, goat cheese, greens

ew. ew.

I thought finocchiona said finocchio which is fennel. Seems its actually a salamiof somesort.

i don't know what most of that stuff is

soft egg... intriguing

"prosciutto, guanciale, lardo / White Sauce" ok this seems a bit much

if you've got guanciale lying around, why not make a pizza all'Amatriciana instead?

Sure look anything is a pizza now father

would eat most of mh's pizzae tbh

that taco pizza is standard around here, although my fave place does it without lettuce

would it surprise you to know that the taco pizza I'm describing came from the Pizza Ranch I worked in during senior year of high school

DID ANYONE ORDER ME A PLAIN CHEESE
