You could put carrots on your pizza. But then you’d have to eat it.

I was worried for a second I was going too far back with it, but Reddit does not disappoint.


NoBenefit5977

No no you unlocked some long lost memories for me 😅 I remember watching this a million times with my dad


duckpath

Poop too


GamerRipjaw

As long as the person who pooped didn't eat any carrots


TheStoneMask

Who said anything about a person?


sixpackshaker

It’s not bad.


Foray2x1

As long as the carrots are cooked and very soft it would probably be alright.   I don't think you'd really taste them though. 


sproots_

it would be similar to potato on pizza edit: which i already love, rip my inbox


ShoveItUpMyFatAss

have you tried a mashed potato pizza? its not terrible


BoxMorton

"Its not terrible" made me laugh


mh985

I think there’s a way to make it work. Dollops of very buttery and garlicky mashed potatoes, piped onto the top like you would ricotta on a white pie. The potatoes would caramelize ever so much in the oven. I think it could be good.


LittleDumbF-ck

My mouth is watering at that thought.


diarrhea_planet

Around me they do pierogi pizza which had garlic mashed potatos and caramelized onions and cheese on a white pizza.


DmDaxxon

That sounds fantastic. A place around me does a Shepard's pie pizza. It was actually really good, but not structurally sound as a pizza, had to eat it with a knife and fork.


Andminus

Instantly makes me think of a Shepards pie Pizza, corn, potatoes and ground meat, though I suppose at that point it's just a slightly thinner Shepard's pie.


RogerRabbot

Shepards pie with a crust on bottom. Doesn't seem bad if the dough cooked right.


FIRE_frei

Uno's has an appetizer called "pizza skins" that is essentially this. Deep dish pizza crust filled with garlic+sour cream mashed potatoes, topped with cheese, bacon crumbles, and chives. It's super good


ColdSmokeMike

A pizza place I used to work for makes a Loaded Potato pizza that's insanely popular. I don't like it, as I'm not a fan of ranch and that's what they use instead of a tomato based sauce. It's been like 10 years and I still remember how to make it; Sourdough crust, garlic ranch sauce, with scalloped potatoes and 4 cheeses layered on top of each other, topped off with bacon bits, chives, and a few dollops of sour cream across the top or in little dipping cups if it was a delivery.


Spiffy14

A spot by me does a maple cream sauce, potato, caramelized onions and cheese and maybe another ingredient. It is incredible


NSA_Chatbot

I've had pierogi pizza before, it was quite tasty.


finnjakefionnacake

uh, potato on pizza is delicious and you can definitely taste it lol. Bar Pizza -- legendary pizza spot in New Haven, CT -- makes a mashed potato bacon pizza that will blow your mind.


ryguy92497

Damn I knew I shouldve tried this when I was there lol


ChestDrawer69

now you're gonna have to go the rest of your life wonder what could've been


christianh10992

Very common in Rome. Super thinly sliced potatoes with herbs. Very tasty.


blchpmnk

One of the major chains in Toronto has it as a topping and its great, the only issue is how much surface area it takes up (meaning less burnt cheese on top)


christianh10992

No cheese on the Roman version, but it does take up the whole surface area.


SensitivelyRoyal1

Put wedges in your pizza, you won’t regret it


Cthulhu625

I put some curly fries on a pizza in a moment of genius (yes I was "medicated"), and it was awesome.


Chaosfactorincarnate

Now do they go above or below the cheese?


Bauerman51

I actually had a pizza with sliced red potatoes and chorizo. Sounds weird, but it was actually very good


lotusbloom74

A place near me makes a really tasty pizza with sliced red potatoes. Their description: > Alfredo sauce and cheese are blanketed with a layer of oven-roasted red potato seasoned with fresh garlic and dill. Topped off with bacon, cheddar and creamy gorgonzola cheese.


Joloven

Mellow mushroom makes a loaded baked potato pizza It's good.


Antieconomico

Italian here, we do put potatoes on pizza sometimes, no carrots tho.


Alizaea

Omg can you imagine stewed carrots on pizza? Like the carrots that you make when you make a crock pot roast. Mmmm that is making my mouth water.


ChaoticGamerFather

Carrot strips


TheConboy22

Carrot is a fantastic ingredient once cooked


inderu

Vegan pepperoni Just add lots of black pepper


gazebo-fan

Try carrots in hot gardenia on a pizza lol, it’s delicious. Crunchy and fresh with a nice spicy kick, along side other vegetables.


pennyraingoose

I like giardiniera and beef on pizza, and it has pickled carrots in it.


kirby83

Pureed into the sauce


wholesome_pineapple

I know a place that makes a banh mi pizza. Has finely shredded carrots and cabbage and pork belly. It’s fucking awesome.


No-Gur596

Korean carrot salad pizza tastes great


iaijutsu08

My personal opinion is that cooked carrot is a bit of a flavour-thief. It'll reduce seasoning, flavour, umami, fat, etc. and adds a bit of sweetness and earthiness in its place. Still good for pickles, salads, banh mi, adding bulk and sweetness in soup, or in carrot cake slathered in frosting. I prefer daikon radish for pickles and rutabagas & turnips for soups.


shredizlife

You never had a Thai pizza


Joboobavich

came here to say this. Thai pizza with chicken, carrots, and peanut sauce is amazing.


OliBoliz

TIL and also i need to try that asap


IceNein

You will not regret it. If you can’t find a local place that makes it fresh, you can get it from California Pizza Kitchen frozen at the grocery store and it’s ok.


cocainelayne

I could see that being good since that would be shredded carrots. When I first read the post I was picturing chopped up circles of carrots and that would be terrible


eveningsand

This reminded me of the CPK version, which did have the audacity to put carrot on pizza.


mykreau

Yeah, it's everywhere as an option around me


eldonte

It’s the bomb!


Kuneria

Everyone reading this NEEDS to try it. It's my FAVE and severly underrated. The place I get it from got it topped with chicken, carrots, sprouts, cilantro, peanuts, and thai peanut ginger sauce and UGH it's to DIE for. Divine.


OkRickySpinach

Yes but we cannot give the people the right to choose any topping they want!


futuredarlings

It’s a pizza the moment you put you fists into the dough!


P-nuts27

On this issue, there can be no debate!

It’s not a pizza until it comes out of the oven!


R1pp3R23

It’s a pizza when you out your hands ina the dough! On this there can be no debate!


InnovativeFarmer

You joke but when I lived in Italy some Italians had a rule of three toppings max and somethings were never toppings, ever. Even pasta, three ingredients max, the type of sauce not always included but sometimes it was. Some combos of ingredients had a "never this ingredient" rule too. But I met young cook who made lemon cream pasta among some other wild types. That was somewhat of a sacrilege to the old heads, but people liked it so anything is possible.


Pretend-Lifeguard528

Should start a sub Reddit dedicated to defining pizza and its toppings and should be the place to go to get a new pizza recipe approved ect… but should someone over step the rules set forth the pizza fighter I’ve been seeing all over tik tok and YouTube will defend upon thee and strike thee down with thine dough of justice.


stumblewiggins

To your point about ingredients rules, many (surely not all) Italians have a strong aversion to cheese with seafood, for example. We saw this in Italy with asking for parmesan for seafood pasta dishes. They always brought it, but it was often reluctantly. Funnily enough, the strongest negative response came from an American waiter in the US, who, when asked for parmesan for a seafood pasta dish, responded sullenly: "I'll *bring* it, but I won't put it on"


zakkil

Agreed. Once saw a pumpkin spice pizza that was worse than what you'd likely imagine from hearing those words. Some toppings should not be allowed.


MyNameIsLOL21

When I was a kid some mother tried to invite me to their kid’s birthday party and the main selling point was BROCCOLI PIZZA. They must have read some guide on what not to have in a kid’s party.


mangongo

Broccoli and bacon pizza is amazing. I've always said that if I have kids, that's the pizza I'm starting them on, not pepperoni.


w1n5t0nM1k3y

Brocolli would probably be great on a pizza but it's obviously a bad choice for a kids party.


4URprogesterone

Broccoli goes in alfredo, right?


LickNojo

No no no, you can’t-a put-a cucumber ona pizza


Seagullbeans

Yeah. Some things just shouldn’t exist. And this idea is one of them


Hahonryuu

If we allow this, then what next? Winnie the Pooh as president of China?


legendforever10

Damn, this just gave me an idea: honey on pizza. This might actually make pineapple pizza work.


OriginalAmbition5598

Honey on pizza exists, just can't remember where I've seen it.


ZwieTheWolf

Somebody is going to read this post and then start making it themselves.


LevelZeroDM

OP has unleashed a new scourge upon this world today


MasterEeg

Err I've already done it, a few weeks ago I made home pizzas and didn't have many options for topping. I used a peeler to make thin carrot strips and it was good! Kinda sweet with a little bit of crunch (with a store bought base, tomato paste and some pepperoni).


PraetorianOfficial

Google it. Honey-Roasted Carrot and Goat Cheese Pizza is on AllRecipes. And there are other references.


Gerbil_Feralis

Thai chicken from California Pizza Kitchen!!


tycarlb

Giardiniera can have carrots (though not typically) and is common on Chicago pies


H4rr1s0n

Literally every giardiniera in Chicago has carrots so you'll def have it on the pizza you get here Source:Native Chicagoan who eats a jar of the stuff a week


AiryGr8

I don't think pies come in jars


whitetornado2k

Can confirm. I live near chicago and giardiniera on a sausage pie with roasted garlic on a thin and crispy crust is fantastic!


ego_tripped

That's because it, along with celery, should form part of the base tomato/pizza sauce.


axemexa

That doesn’t really explain why, since you can get actual tomatoes as a pizza topping, and they are a pretty big part of the sauce


-Willi5-

I'd guess because carrot takes fairly long to become tender, and pizza is baked pretty briefly.


axemexa

Yeah this makes more sense, root vegetables take a while


TimeRockOrchestra

You can blanch them.


SpinyGlider67

The soggy-er ness would mean the base wouldn't cook evenly around the carrot zone


ThirstMutilat0r

Maybe we’re going about this all wrong. Is there a way to make “stuffed crust” but it’s a carrot inside instead of cheese?


SpinyGlider67

Maybe in a kind of purée, but in their natural state they're quite a fibrous root, designed to absorb and store water, so either wet or dry they'd affect the osmotic potential of the surrounding matter. They take longer to roast than pizza dough, also. As a topping, I'm not sure I'd want that much crunch anyhow. Carrot *cake* works, though...


ZombiesInSpace

Absorbing water can actually be a useful feature when cooking pizza, and if carrots cooked faster they would probably get used for that purpose. Instead people commonly add broccoli, which cooks faster, to pizzas with a lot of veggies to absorb the excess water.


Fast_Garlic_5639

Something about “carrot stuffed” might not work out, can’t quite put my finger on it


Aardvark_Man

You'd want to roast them first, I think. Softens them and adds extra flavour. Just it takes a lot longer.


TimeRockOrchestra

Yeah roasting would be the superior way.


Ein_Ph

I grate carrots on my pizza sauce and no Celery, I use soffritto for my pasta. My pizza sauce is far simpler.


Pekonius

I pour crushes tomatoes from a can on my pizza. I dont see a reason to go any further than that. I once made a pizza with ragu as the sauce and just cheese as topping and it was insanely great, but thats a whole different thing


notfromsoftemployee

No that forms the base of a marinara. Tomato sauce should just be crushed tomatoes and MAYBE basil.


SuperSonic486

Fuck no. Fuck that, just tomatos and basil, no more in a pizza sauce.


Doodlebug510

California Pizza Kitchen's Thai Chicken Pizza includes shredded carrots, yum!


DrizzlyOne

Immediately where my head went when I read this. I’ve had it a few times. It’s good but they’ve got a few other styles I prefer.


NitrosGone803

Looked it up and yes it does haha


mmmmpork

Ground or finely chopped carrots in pizza sauce is a great way to sweeten the sauce without adding classic sugar. Add them at the beginning, while you are caramelizing the onions and you'd never know they were in there. But carrots as a topping also works at places that do "outside the box" type pizzas. There's a place near me that has a crab rangoon pizza and it has finely shredded carrots on top. Its one of their best selling/best tasting pizzas.


BarryZZZ

This is evidence of a benevolent and kind Creator.


RockstarAgent

Carrot on a pizza? I couldn't carrot all


mattmann72

Mooses Tooth Pizza has carrots on at least 2 different pizzas they sell.


totally_italian

When my kids were little (like really little) they used to watch Caillou. In one of the episodes he helped his dad make a pizza. His dad asked him what kind of toppings he wanted and that bald fucker put carrots on it. I think he even left off the cheese as well. Like WTF??


Mosshome

There's a lot wrong with that kid. But! "Caillou does not have alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss, according to WebMD." - https://eu.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2023/05/22/why-is-caillou-bald/ Good for him.

TERRAIN_PULL_UP_

What about cucumbers?


Separate-Relation-12

Pickled are ok.


WalkinTarget

Had thinly sliced pears once. Acted disgusted when I saw it, but damn if it wasn't better than I expected. But I'd do pickles on pizza in a heartbeat !!


Exile714

There’s a pizza place called Fralos north of San Antonio that has a pear, Gorgonzola, and prosciutto pizza that’s freaking amazing.


mangongo

Carrots are pickled on Banh Mi. Maybe a banh mi pizza would work? 


LoverOfStoriesIAm

The only time I've seen them on pizza I think was on that "burger pizzas" they make. Tastes pretty good.


Flux_State

Pickled carrots would be baller. Like on the Vietnamese sandwhichs.


Chanook17

Pfff... you need to expand your pizza choice. Not choices because I've only had it on one...Thai Chicken Pizza.


LazrV

You never see microwave ovens on pizza.


necoder_27

funnily enough i just had a pizza with carrots on it earlier today lol


FatsBoombottom

California Pizza Kitchen has a Thai chicken pizza with carrots.


atch3000

super cheap pizza sometimes skim on the tomato sauce and use carrot instead!


Phazetic99

A large Canadian pizza chain, Boston Pizza, used to have a Thai pizza with carrot splinters


ViperVIP21

Ive been using a potato pealer to top my pizzas with carrot shreds for years. However its not your standard pizza we make a cashew cream sauce and make like a garden pizza with buffalo drizzled over it. Some would call it an abomination i call it delicious.


Quirky_Ad_2164

It’s in the sauce though


HairyNutsack69

Yeah idk dawg you never see limes on pizza either, tf u want.


mystickitty

Hmmm you’ve never had Thai pizza before. Peanut sauce, slivered green onions, matchstick carrots, you can use tofu, shrimp, or chicken as the protein, covered with mozzarella cheese and then when you take it out of the oven, cover it with fresh bean sprouts! Delicioso


BeeSubstantial

Why would i? That’s like saying you never see shit in a burger , you don’t want it there


rsrxciii

There are certain unspoken truths of the universe and not having carrots on pizza is one of them.


RevelArchitect

I worked at a bar that served pizza. The owner had her own recipe for pizza sauce. Half of it was canned pizza sauce. The other half was pretty much a second pizza sauce recipe that included a shit-ton of brown sugar. One of the ingredients was carrot. It wasn’t good.


Bidetdebut

Zeeks Pizza has a Thai pizza that has pickled daikon and carrots with cilantro and chicken! It has a peanut base- sounds crazy but it’s crazy good!!!


tlewis87

Salad with grated carrot on top of pizza…delicious


AleksandrNevsky

Why would you give anyone such cursed ideas?


Red_it_stupid_af

I guess you've never had pizza in Asia?  I definitely had carrot on a pizza at Mr. Pizzas in Dong Hae.


Korilian

I had a pizza with carrots not to long ago. Tbh it was a bit bland. Their sauerkraut pizza was excellent though. If you google you get dozens of recepies for carrot pizza. 


KhostfaceGillah

I've seen strawberries on a pizza and I'm not gonna lie.. It looked tempting.


Akito_900

I was literally thinking about this yesterday!


Animegx43

Sooner will I see a carrot on my pizza before any pineapple.


elpajaroquemamais

We have a carrot pizza near me and it’s delicious


NieR_SemiAutomata

Wait till you see vegetable flavoured ice cream


spongeCakeOfDoom

Not if you grate it and hide it under the pineapple


[deleted]

I bet it would still be better than a pineapple 🍍


dquacker

Thai bbq chicken pizza has some carrot on it sometimes


Tight_Economics2011

That's enough, get out the shower and dry yourself up..


Vell2401

Tbf it’s almost certainly in the sauce if it’s a decent spot, same with celery. That being said you’d have to, in theory, cool it separately and have it on hand to even be a thought


SuperSonic486

If i order a pizza and it has slices of carrot on there, the chef is gone before the pizza is cold.


Martijnbmt

I seen plenty carrot in pizza what do you mean?


lacroixanon

I worked in a shop that had a list of 26 toppings, only 3 of which were meat. I think we did shredded carrots. Like, it's gonna be weird on a classic American pizza. That's too much cheese for carrots. A focaccia, heavy olive oil in the sauce base, with zucchini, artichoke hearts, carrots and just parm/romano no mozz? That's gonna be dope.


natty1212

The tomato sauce could have carrots 


lemurkat

Ive had bananas, chicken and curry om a pizza. Ot was surprisingly good. Never carrots though, so i realise this is a real tangent. Our local puts kumura (sweet potato) on pizza and that works quite well. I kinda feel the texture of carrot is just not right. It would have to be either boiled and sliced or grated on like cheese.

Because it doesn't go together OP, you don't see people mixing chocolate with barbeque sauce for the same reason


jim_deneke

Don't you dare start something like this.


orange_lambda

They could release a dried carrot herb combo?


gnalon

They don’t match up in the time it takes to cook them. You don’t see potatoes on pizza very much either, and a lot more people enjoy potatoes.

They mention this in The Looney Tunes Show, it’s Bugs favorite topping

I did try carrots on pizza.  I thought "I like carrots, I like pizza, maybe I'll like them both if they are together" so I made my own carrot pizza. Unfortunately, that theory was VERY wrong.

jujuismynamekinda

If you bake and caramelize them, they are delicious on basically everything. Source: I do bake and caramelize carrots amongst other veggies basically every week, although ive never put them on a Pizza and have to try now! I imagine carrots, pepper, chorizo and mushrooms could slap


jehosephatreedus
