What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class…
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.
What do you think?
Cheese
Which reminds me I need to tend to my cheese tree.
Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. Freezy trees made these trees’ cheese freeze. That’s what made these three free fleas sneeze.

…tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini…
Passive aggressive ‘All your veggies are actually fruits’ energy here. I love it :)
This has been a regular debate in my household and I’m with you on this.
I had Hawaiian with kiwi! It was good
In Home Ec we made a fruit pizza, with a sweet crust… and it was amazing. Kind of a bit more like actual pie than pizza. Wish I had the recipe, unfortunately the teacher died a couple decades ago.
Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
Tomato :-)
Damn. You beat me to it
:-)
Local place has bruschetta tomatoes as a topping, so good
I’ve had a pretty decent pizza with peach on it.
Pear works well on white pizza
Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.
Apples work well on white pizza as well. Perhaps OP only tried with red sauce, which I imagine wouldn’t be very good.
But indeed there’s a local pizza place around where I live that does a simple olive oil base topped with creamy cheese, tart apples, arugula, and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It’s utterly fantastic
Black Olives (or green, either way).
Try kalamatas.
Need to go look that up. No id what that is
Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled “pork”, it’d be great on a BBQ pizza.
As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.
What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.
I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.
I’ve grown up eating unripe jackfruit as a vegetable, cooked in coconut milk along with a bit of protein, be it some pork or some dried fish. Never really taken a close look at which part of the jackfruit is being used though, but it’s the part with the seeds. I enjoy finding the surprise (cooked) seeds since they’re really nutty and complements well with the rest of the flavors of the dish.
Anyways, my point is that unripe jackfruit can make for a good savory topping for pizza.
I don’t think it’s a marketing ploy, it’s just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It’s not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.
Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.
I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.
Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They’re using the byproducts?
I guess you can call it byproducts. The bulbs have a strange creamy texture on the inside, but the outside is also quite fibrous. You wouldn’t make a burger from that.
Peppers.
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ’s sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.
Apple sauce instead of tomato based sauce, shred the pork and cheese, would go really well with jerk pork
My local favorite is apple slices+bacon, it’s the best.
My guess is that it depends on the apple type.
Some apples are better than other to make apple pies without making it soggy, same issue could apply to pizzas.
That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)

I had a pizza in Mexico with cherries on it and i did indeed hate it.
Fresh cherries, cherries from a can, or the little jarred cherries they put on ice cream sundaes. I need this information to properly set my levels of revulsion.
Your worst fears are real. They were the bright red jarred ones.
Marichino?
Yeah i was deliberately avoiding using the name cuz i didn’t know how to spell it either lol
Because they are garbage and don’t deserve to have it spelled properly
Haha! I like the luxardo cherries. Better to taste, better to spell.
Bordeaux cherries too
Not a fruit i know, but if you like pineapple on pizza you might also like pickled onions on pizza
