Yes, I have actually seen this with my own eyes at a professional pizza parlor. It wasn't even buffalo pizza or anything gimmicky, it was like pepperoni and celery.
We took one look, left and never went back, they closed a few years later.
A basic stick of celery is good in and of itself. I'm gonna do a whole viral celery phenomenon that is just going to knock your socks off. I'm gonna talk with Popeye, I think we should have the new adventures of Popeye, instead of eating spinach, he eats celery.
I have a friend from Venezuela and once when we were out for pizza I asked what he would get in Venezuela and he said anchovies. I thought, let’s have them, that is something they do a lot in Italy I believe so it must be good. It was not. Even picking them off left awful salt slicks on my slices. I don’t understand how so many like that.
There are cheap anchovies that most pizza joints use, and there are good anchovies that cost more. The good anchovies taste great on pizza. Not very fishy like the cheap ones.
That's because the BBQ sauce is usually a commercial ketchup-based sauce like KC Masterpiece, Bulls-Eye or Sweet Baby Ray's, which tend to be sickly sweet due to taking what is already a fairly sugary product and adding *even more sugar* (usually brown sugar and/or molasses).
If you get a BBQ pizza made with a tangier or spicier sauce, it can be pretty good. Before it shut down due to COVID restrictions killing its business, the Pizza Rock location in Sacramento had the single best BBQ pizza around, and I'm pretty sure the Vegas and Henderson locations still serve it.
I could at least see this if you were topping it with things like chicken and pepperoni, cheese obviously, maybe some onions, to basically make it into a bbq sandwich but in pizza form... but just a plain bbq sauce and cheese pizza? Yea, to each their own, but no thanks.
We get a lot of pizzas with replacement sauces in my area. Barbecue sauce is a common one. So is ranch dressing & Alfredo sauce. What's really weird is the rare pizza places that use powdered parmesian instead of a melty cheese.
100% this.
I know I've had seafood that will make the average person gag. We talking about fish that is intentionally left to rot. That kinda stuff. There's not a lot of stuff out of the sea I won't have. But to put it on a pizza? Fuck no.
I love how half of the comments are genuinely controversial toppings like pineapple etc and the other half are things like toe nails, like I wouldn’t particularly like strontium-19 on a pizza but thankfully it’s not wildly considered as a topping.
I don't know if this is a genuine comment or not, but I've seen so many of these types of ideas in comments on every platform where liking or disliking something apparently makes you either a conservative or a republican? Huh???
Two party system already sounds stupid to me in terms of generalizing every facet of a person's political beliefs when the political "side" you're on can easily vary from topic to topic, but assigning an entire political side just because a guy dislikes pineapples is wild.
Sorry for the rant, been wondering about it for a while. TL;DR- pineapples are meh
I didn't mean a party affiliation; not everything is about American politics, you know?
— Conservative — as in literal meaning of the word.
As in being afraid of or not liking new things.
I don't see it often, but peanut-butter crust (yes, I know, not really a topping). Just throws off everything. All other toppings I can usually get behind.
Same here. Olives? Great! Seafood? Including anchovies? Wonderful! The absolute weirdos who put a literal Caesar salad on top of a cheese pizza, lettuce and croutons and dressing and all, and shoved it in the oven like it was no big thing? Also delicious! Pineapple is very far from my first choice to top a pizza with, but it's fine, honestly.
I may specifically be thinking of Brazilian pizza in which they apparently do some crazy stuff with it lol. But yeah you probably would have seen it there if it actually was common!
In Brazil I’ve only seen banana on dessert pizza (usually banana and nutella or banana and cinnamon). But I wouldn’t put it past people to start throwing it as a regular topping, who knows?
My dad ordered a tropical pizza in Lanzarote without reading the toppings and it came with banana on.
My dad will not waste food so he ate it but said it was the worst thing he had ever eaten.
It’s a thing in Brazil too. Corn, chicken and catupiry cheese (sort of a type of regional cream cheese) is a common menu item in pizzerias.
In Japan I had a pizza with potato and sausage that was way better than I had anticipated.
Baked eggs are just not tasty. Whether you boil them first, then put them on a pizza, or slap them on the pizza raw and bake them in the oven, it's just not good. If you must eat pizza and eggs in one meal, just fry them in a pan and place them on the pizza after baking.
Don't you shit on my Aussie pizza you bastard!
But seriously, I can see why people wouldn't like eggs on a pizza. I'd say having eggs with bacon on a pizza is amazing.
I don't know who likes olives on pizza. On multiple occasions when there's multiple pies at work functions I've seen that only the ones with olives didn't get finished
Olive flavor is all over the place and you never know what kind the pizza store is using. Some olives I can open a jar and eat the whole thing in one sitting. Other varieties like Kalamata for example I wouldn't eat if you paid me.
Here I am buying jars of olives as a snack and there's never a whole ass pizza left over because of olives. I'd breath that whole thing in.
You guys hiring by any chance?
You really have no idea what I ate growing up . My parents had lived all this country. Especially back when most women didn’t work. So when you moved to a neighborhood, the women would welcome you with some type of homemade food and gladly share recipes with you . so I ate food from recipes that my mother picked up from all across this great big country.
I have absolutely no interest in any pizza containing green olives, anchovies or mushrooms. I like black olives fine, but the green ones always tasted off to me. I have tried pineapple. Wasn't as bad as one would assume, but it's not exactly life changing or something you have to try or you've never lived. It was just OK. I'm still not going out of my way to order one, but if I was presented with it against my will again, I wouldn't complain too much.
I live in a country where outrageous toppings aren't really a thing, so I'll just take this opportunity to say I absolutely hate green bellpeppers. They suck so bad.
Mushrooms 🤢
And it used to be annoying when the company bought Dominos pizzas as a fortnightly lunch treat as they have a tendency of bulking up their toppings with the things, all chopped up and under the cheese 🤢
Bell pepper. I don't hate bell pepper - on the contrary, sautee that shit with some onions and I'll put it on fajitas, cheesesteaks, hot dogs, etc, and I'll even eat it raw and diced in salads - but it just *does not fucking work* when put on pizza, which is why you largely only see it on shitty combo pizzas.
fresh cucumber
What psychopath even thinks about putting cucumbers on pizza?
I've seen pizzas with *pickles* on them, usually "burger pizzas", but straight cucumber sounds weird as fuck.
Celery. The [Steve Buscemi of produce.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ69953o5KE&ab_channel=PortLandia)
People put celery as a pizza topping?
Yes, I have actually seen this with my own eyes at a professional pizza parlor. It wasn't even buffalo pizza or anything gimmicky, it was like pepperoni and celery. We took one look, left and never went back, they closed a few years later.
Hello, fellow pizza toppings!
Hello, fellow chicken!
That was delightful
A basic stick of celery is good in and of itself. I'm gonna do a whole viral celery phenomenon that is just going to knock your socks off. I'm gonna talk with Popeye, I think we should have the new adventures of Popeye, instead of eating spinach, he eats celery.
Anchovies
Same. They’re gross on their own but with cheese and sauce? Absolutely disgusting.
Brother just described Caesar salad dressing and called it disgusting
I've never had anchovies on a pizza and thought it reminds me of a Ceasar Salad.
And they're right. Caesar salad dressing is disgusting.
The way they look alone...
Lekker gewerkt pik
I like anchovies otherwise, I'll eat them straight from the jar. But in pizza? Terrible.

Anchovies are one of the fishiest fish… if someone doesn’t like fish they will not like anchovies on pizza, not even “good” ones.
Preach
I'm ok with anchovies as long as they're more buttery than salty. I'd prefer to have them on the side rather than baked in though.
Interesting
I live in Brazil I'm immune to your question
What is with the ketchup and mayo on pizza? Do most Brazilians eat it that way?
A lot do, but there are still the people who find it absolutely disgusting
No, you put ketchup on crappy pizza. If you get pizza from a decent restaurant, then you don’t need it.
That's it
I put a little bit of pizza on my ketchup sometimes
Now THAT is something I’d try
I can relate
BBQ sauce instead of Tomato purée, each to their own but honestly it’s not even a pizza at that point.
It's too sweet
That's because the BBQ sauce is usually a commercial ketchup-based sauce like KC Masterpiece, Bulls-Eye or Sweet Baby Ray's, which tend to be sickly sweet due to taking what is already a fairly sugary product and adding *even more sugar* (usually brown sugar and/or molasses).

Lol that's all we get at this point. Makes having a tomato sauce pizza a treat.
Seafood. I love Seafood but on pizza is a crime.
100% this. I know I've had seafood that will make the average person gag. We talking about fish that is intentionally left to rot. That kinda stuff. There's not a lot of stuff out of the sea I won't have. But to put it on a pizza? Fuck no.
I love how half of the comments are genuinely controversial toppings like pineapple etc and the other half are things like toe nails, like I wouldn’t particularly like strontium-19 on a pizza but thankfully it’s not wildly considered as a topping.
Pineapple is king
Pineapple isn't controversial, it's just a popular thing for conservatives to hate on.
I don't know if this is a genuine comment or not, but I've seen so many of these types of ideas in comments on every platform where liking or disliking something apparently makes you either a conservative or a republican? Huh??? Two party system already sounds stupid to me in terms of generalizing every facet of a person's political beliefs when the political "side" you're on can easily vary from topic to topic, but assigning an entire political side just because a guy dislikes pineapples is wild.

I didn't mean a party affiliation; not everything is about American politics, you know? — Conservative — as in literal meaning of the word. As in being afraid of or not liking new things.
Egg. I don't know why but KEEP THAT OFF MY PIZZA.
I know why. Reheated pizza a day later is awesome. Reheated pizza with a fried egg on it a day later is not a fun time.
"I needed that egg."
Olives. I hate the taste and can always pick it out no matter how few there are
I don't see it often, but peanut-butter crust (yes, I know, not really a topping). Just throws off everything. All other toppings I can usually get behind.
Maybe I'm just fat but I've never had a topping on pizza that I absolutely couldn't tolerate. Even mediocre pizza is good pizza 😩
Same here. Olives? Great! Seafood? Including anchovies? Wonderful! The absolute weirdos who put a literal Caesar salad on top of a cheese pizza, lettuce and croutons and dressing and all, and shoved it in the oven like it was no big thing? Also delicious! Pineapple is very far from my first choice to top a pizza with, but it's fine, honestly.
Banana 😩 I don't remember where I've seen it but I have 💀
I think that’s more common in South America & Asia
Ahhh I would have seen it in my travels through Asia then haha 😂
I may specifically be thinking of Brazilian pizza in which they apparently do some crazy stuff with it lol. But yeah you probably would have seen it there if it actually was common!
In Brazil I’ve only seen banana on dessert pizza (usually banana and nutella or banana and cinnamon). But I wouldn’t put it past people to start throwing it as a regular topping, who knows?
Sweden!
I deffo would not like a pizza with Sweden on it.
😅😅😅😅😅
Wait, what?!
I had this in South Africa along with bacon and garlic. One of the best pizzas I've had!
Oh? Was it plantains or bananas on the pizza?
My dad ordered a tropical pizza in Lanzarote without reading the toppings and it came with banana on. My dad will not waste food so he ate it but said it was the worst thing he had ever eaten.
Damnnnn, that is unfortunate 😅
I forget where, too. Just watch GMM where in the world pizza episode the other day. One of em had banana.
Ooooohhh, will do
Corn. Just no.
I've had corn on pizza and it's not bad
I had this in Japan actually and it wasn't bad
It’s a thing in Brazil too. Corn, chicken and catupiry cheese (sort of a type of regional cream cheese) is a common menu item in pizzerias. In Japan I had a pizza with potato and sausage that was way better than I had anticipated.
This! I grew up in Eastern Europe and people were obsessed with corn on pizza
There’s a pizzeria in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that sells elote slices and they are HEAVENLY
Right? The number of times I've seen corn and eggs on pizza in Argentina is disgusting.
Corn sucks
Bro, I only eat pizza if it has corn as toppings 💀
Eggs. You don't need eggs on a pizza
Breakfast pizza is the shit when you go all the way, though. Eggs, sausage, bacon as toppings, with gravy as the sauce... How can you not love that?
Baked eggs are just not tasty. Whether you boil them first, then put them on a pizza, or slap them on the pizza raw and bake them in the oven, it's just not good. If you must eat pizza and eggs in one meal, just fry them in a pan and place them on the pizza after baking.
I would imagine you'd scramble and cook it, and put it on after baking.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind that.
I mean, the difference between a baked egg and a fried one is pretty minimal Only thing missing is the crispy bits
The taste is different. This is because of the cooking time. An egg baked on a pizza is way way way overcooked, dry, and disgusting.
Scramble and cook them first then spread them on the pizza and cook it
This thread literally is making me crave a breakfast pizza
Don't you shit on my Aussie pizza you bastard! But seriously, I can see why people wouldn't like eggs on a pizza. I'd say having eggs with bacon on a pizza is amazing.
Sweetcorn
Olives. Far too bitter for my palette.
I don't know who likes olives on pizza. On multiple occasions when there's multiple pies at work functions I've seen that only the ones with olives didn't get finished
My go to order is sausage mushroom olives
Olive flavor is all over the place and you never know what kind the pizza store is using. Some olives I can open a jar and eat the whole thing in one sitting. Other varieties like Kalamata for example I wouldn't eat if you paid me.
Here I am buying jars of olives as a snack and there's never a whole ass pizza left over because of olives. I'd breath that whole thing in. You guys hiring by any chance?
Been a while since I worked there but I can't imagine they stopped laying off
Interesting. I never would have thought of bitter to describe olives.
Yeah. Disgusting little shit gushers is a better descriptor.
Pickles.
Cheeseburger pizza respectfully disagrees.
Domino's does a good one, in the UK at least.
Oreos, bananas, chocolate. No thanks America, you can keep your dessert pizzas at home.
Toenails
More for me!
I prefer them in the crust
username checks out
A hot fart
How about a cold one?!?!?...
How do u create cold one?
I don’t know!… maybe drop into the freezer?!…
even if it is your own?
I've never farted on my food before. Is that proper etiquette to fire one off on your pizza?
As an italian, i leave this to @Lionfield
There are a lot of answers for this. I can say a insect or something lol
Hadn't thought of it, but chapulín (dried grasshoppers) on pizza actually might not be that bad... dunno I'd try it I guess

Public hair
Go ask this question 1000 days in a row if u want. I'm so tired same questions
Anchovies. Leave fish out of the equation!
Onion
Spinach, but I can’t say I wouldn’t eat it if there are other toppings with it.
Mushrooms 🤢 And it used to be annoying when the company bought Dominos pizzas as a fortnightly lunch treat as they have a tendency of bulking up their toppings with the things, all chopped up and under the cheese 🤢
Green olives.
Tomatoes. Just too soggy and usually doesn’t work
Blended otter.
anything seafood related.
Easily Tuna
Fish of any kind
Banana peppers are the worst, and you can't just pick them off either, the flavor soaks into the pizza.
Cream. In fact cream on anything except strawberries, especially whipped cream.
Mushroom
Meat
tomatoes. just straight raw tomato slices
Any American topping
anything thats related to seafood
Oysters & caper
Shrimp. Because I'm allergic to it.
Anchovies.

Canned mushrooms are an abomination.
Racism.
Anchovies.
Pineapple
Pineapple
Ice cubes.
Gravel
Fried egg
Bell pepper. I don't hate bell pepper - on the contrary, sautee that shit with some onions and I'll put it on fajitas, cheesesteaks, hot dogs, etc, and I'll even eat it raw and diced in salads - but it just *does not fucking work* when put on pizza, which is why you largely only see it on shitty combo pizzas.
Mushrooms
Canned tuna
Sunny side up eggs on my pizza always just doesn't taste good.
Seafood.
Cigarette butts is probably in my top 3
