WaWa gave me a free sample of a slice of pickle ranch pizza. I came back hours later and bought a whole box and they were like, "we got you, huh?"
Since there's no pizza morals in this thread, I once made a 'Hawaiian' pie at home where I swapped out the pineapple for kiwi. Fun fact: I'm going to hell.
khannieI am christening that monstrosity a Wellington, both in honour of the kiwi capital and because I would rather eat a Wellington boot than that. Congratulations!
Korne127Kiwi on pizza is unironically great! I once made a pizza myself with pineapple, kiwi, artichokes, mushroom and tomato / cheese, and it was just genuinely so tasty :)
I'm sold, it's good

ChozoAs a pickle enjoyer, I'm thrilled for the popularity pickles have been getting recently. However, I worry that we may be coming close to crossing a line.
I love pizza with banana pepper rings. Not that different than pickles.
There’s a style of pizza in Massachusetts called South Shore bar pizza. It’s made by something like 20 different bars and restaurants in the southeastern part of the state, and everyone swears by their own favorite spot. It being Massachusetts, nobody agrees about which one is the champion. Anyway, pickle is an OG South Shore bar pizza topping. It is excellent.
😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈Poopsie's is pretty good.
Town Spa all the way
Yuck. Maybe in the 80s.
lol. Look at us doing the MA thing.
Since deep-fried pickles are a (delicious) thing, I bet this is better than it looks. Warm salty dough meets juicy tangy pickle, then the cheese bridges the textures and provides a savory background. I'm converted.
cm0002Think the flavor could work, but the texture of a pickle pizza might trigger a gag reflex.
Though I will give that a try.
RebekahWSDI like a nice cheeseburger pizza with pickles in it. Not sure why the place that makes the cheeseburger pizza doesn't automatically include pickles, but they're always willing to put them on when I ask. Yes my cholesterol is abhorrent.
+1 for cheeseburger pizza. Luckily my first order included the pickles, because I wouldn't have thought to ask. I like pickles for the same reason i like pineapple on pizza, it adds a crunchy/juicy texture that keeps the pizza from feeling too heavy. I also love vinegar, so that's a bonus.
Unfortunately my first order didn't have any, but the second I was like, "Husband maybe ask if they can put pickles on it? Cause they sell burger burgers, they have pickles" and he was like "I don't knoooow maybe they don't" but he asked and they did and it's marvelous! But I adoooore pickles. I'm going to grow canning pickles next year just to make my own!
For over 20 years my favourite pizza has been plain cheese with cold cucumber slices on top. Warm and gooey + cold and crunchy.
Why didn't they finish cooking it
You gave me an idea for Sauerkraut pizza, with onions and sausage. Maybe an egg too.
Sauerkraut, smoked sausage, onion, a bit of sharp cheddar, and a drizzle of franks red hot is honestly a god-tier pizza.
This is just a hamburger minus the patty. I'm sure it's delicious.
PyrThis is hate crime

idunnololzI once had a slice of a detroit style pizza with pickles on sour dough bread drizzled with mustard.
Had free pizza for a lunch and learn at work the other day that had chicken, jalapeño, pickle and ranch on it. It was surprisingly not bad, though a bit salty.
If you show up in Chicago I will personally drag you to the West Side, shatter your ankle, and then leave.
Pickle pizza isn’t my thing but someone likes it, good for them. Move on and let people enjoy things.
I thought it would be a light/funny crosspost from c/mildlyinteresting cause some people get mildly infuriated by stuff that's sometimes put on pizzas, but seems like people took it at heart 🫤
PS : I've tried pineapple pizza once and it was ok
To be fair, I would be mildly infuriated if I was expecting a pizza with popular toppings and I opened a box to find this.
I didn’t mean to come off as a jerk, I’m just sensitive to the snark that gets thrown around over stupid things like this. I’ve seen those jokey comments about pineapple on pizza turn into personal attacks in real life just because someone was trying to defend a food they think tastes good. Of course the people who did that were “just joking”. Pineapple (or pickles) on pizza isn’t my thing but my girlfriend loves Hawaiian pizza and I’ll happily enjoy the leftovers.
Pineapple pizza really is kinda meh by itself. But, pineapple + jalapeno + a salty/savory topping like pepperoni can be amazing.
Semi-tangential non-sequitor: The news algorithms offered up the recipe for an "Italian treat" recently that had me appalled and curious in the same way I expect pineapple pizza haters are. It was very ripe cantaloupe slices wrapped in prosciutto. I don't even really know what to say. I just don't want to be alone in knowing about that monstrosity.
Pickle pizza is my favorite. No joke.
Salty, cheesy, savory. If any of you animals live in Tampa Bay, the New World Brewery sells an amazing one with white cheese.
It's always fascinating to me how Americans name cheeses by color. I guess white is mozarella? Feta and goat cheeses are also white, but I doubt they go on pizza.
You thought wrong.
🤯
Goat’s cheese and caramelised red onion is a good topping. The goat’s cheese doesn’t replace the mozzarella though.
I’m not sure that Wensleydale would work though.
I've never heard anyone call mozzarella "white cheese" - the only ones I'm aware of are white versions of non-white cheeses like White Cheddar which is just an undyed cheddar that's usually aged longer for a stronger taste. Dying cheddar isn't exclusive to the US so I'm curious if you have a different way to differentiate the two.
If you hear someone say "white cheese," they're probably just describing it because they don't know the name
I didn't even know there is undyed cheddar. Cheddar is a bit looked down on in my region, as we have very good local cheeses as well as imports from our EU neighbours. I've heard americans call Stilton and Gorgonzola "blue cheese". It's very confusing; they are different in many ways.
You gotta remember that a lot of these cheeses have those silly PDO restrictions and a lot of our cheese is made domestically (and made quite well! don't let the ultraprocessed "American Cheese" be your gauge)
So gargonzola is gargonzola, but the exact process done here can't use the name.
"Blue cheese" is a general term for moldy cheeses - but that's true elsewhere in the world! I believe it comes from France, Bleu de Gaux? Geaux? Something like that lol
Source: purely anecdotal if I'm being honest - but I've been surrounded by cheese my whole life (Midwestern)
Cheddar cheese is best cheese. The people in your region are weird.
Likely mozzarella or another non-aged cheese with higher fat and hydration for melty goodness. I haven't been there in years, so, I'm not going to guess what ingredient they're using.
Goat cheese and feta are fine on pizza, but it's prepared differently. They're nice with olive oil and no or low sauce, cured meats, dates, and something to offset and counter the saltiness.
But go on some more.
My first reaction was disgust too, but then I remembered fried pickles are delicious, so I'd be willing to give this a try.
One of my go-to orders from the pizza place around here is a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza.
BBQ sauce, seasoned beef, diced tomatoes, onions, pickles, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Fucking delicious and I don't care what purists think.
One of my favorite is called "Bombay" with chicken, crème fraiche, curry spice and honey 😙🤌
A burger pizza has a specific taste profile going for it. Just putting pickles on a pizza is weirder. But I'd still try it.
…I kinda want one
I fail to see anything wrong here
It's mildly infuriating that I don't have this slce of pickle pizza in my mouth right now.
r/ItalianFood is turning over in its grave. Good. Those guys can be jerks.
Nothing is more authentically Italian than arguing over what is authentically Italian.
True. I shouldn't be mad at my people.
I've vomited prettier.
Some people should be banned from cooking. Next person to suggest I pour milk in my soda gets slapped through the internet.

Pineapple is a common ingredient in burgers in Australia and while a classic Aussie burger doesn't include pickles to go along with that, given pickles are still a common burger ingredient as well, it wouldn't be totally outside the bounds of plausibility for someone to request or put pickles in there along with the pineapple. They're ok together. I wouldn't say it's the best idea but it's not a total bust. I'm surprised it's not a delicious combo which I thought they would be when I tried that once, figured there'd be lots of textural contrast and even more of the salty and sweet and tangy combo that the additional of the pineapple was supposed to bring on its own but alas something about them doesn't play all that nice together.
I tried one at a brewery once, it had a creamy white dill sauce, pickles and mozzarella. It tasted really good, but what really made it was the dill dough.
The dill-dough? The ladies love it!
That makes sense, Dill is amazing
I look at that and it's just screaming for pineapple.....
Won’t stop, can’t stop.
that shit actually looks ok
🥒🍕Pickle Pizza! Pickle🥒🍕Pizza! Pickle Pizza!🥒🍕
Cheeseburger pizza lovers, but they don't want pickles on their pizza?
Exactly what I thought
I'm fairly sure I tried pickles on pizza and didn't like it, or maybe I just concluded I wouldn't because I didn't think hot pickles would be nice. But that pizza looks damn good.
I would try it, unless those are bread and butter pickles, then they can screw off.
I'll take this over pineapple pizza any day.
Then again, I'll put garlic salt on Cheerios.
Yes I'm weird, just not pineapple pizza weird.
That's okay, I'll stand in for the pineapple pizza weird.
If Pineapple pizza is a 1 on the weird scale. Pickle pizza is like a 4. Burger and taco pizza would be a 3. Anchovies would be a 2.
Honestly, I'll try almost anything at least once. Put some olives and mushrooms on that pickle pizza, I'll probably actually love it!
About the only sort of pizza I wouldn't even touch.. Oyster pizza.
Oyster pizza actually sounds delicious. Is that a thing somewhere? I need to try it.
Not that I'm aware of, but hey, there's a first time for everything.
By all means, feel free to try it. Be sure to post it under Food Crimes though.. 😂
One of my go-to pizzas back in the day was sweetcorn, pineapple, and black olives.
I love traditional pizza, but sometimes, you want to get your freak on.
There is Pizza, and there is flatbread-with-various-things-I-like-to-eat-on-it.
It's all good. Just use the right terms.
Pizza - noun - a dish made typically of flattened bread dough spread with a savory mixture usually including tomatoes and cheese and often other toppings and baked
-Merriam-Webster Dictionary
That’s what I see here, I don’t see the tomatoes specifically but there’s a lot of cheese that might be covering those tomatoes. Even if there are no tomatoes, the definition uses the term “usually” which is not always.
What constitutes a pizza to you?
