I'd try it. I already love pineapple on pizza (a travesty, apparently) so why not? I don't see any cops.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I love pineapple on pizza, but the key to its greatness is using small pieces on top of the cheese and even giving them a little squeeze before cooking to prevent an over abundance of juice.

For kiwi on a pizza to be even mildly appetizing at face value IMO the pieces would need to be quite small. I don't want a mouthful of sweet. A hint of sweet along with all the saltiness in the pizza is what makes sweet/salty pizzas amazing.

Those look like pretty thin slices. They might work. I'd also try it.

It's like black olives...They have to be put on after bake.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Green olives on pizza are king, unfortunately no where near me seems to do them. My gf worked in a pizza place for a while and i used to get her to secretly make me pizzas using the green olives they use for starters

[–] CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

I like those too. Olives tend to bleed into everything which is why we would always put them on after the pizza baked.

Pineapple belongs on pizza. Only stuck up assholes who never tried it say otherwise. Ever tried pickles? Pizza with onions, sausage and pickles is great.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Yes! I haven't done it in a long time, but pickles work great as a topping.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I agree on the pineapples but pickles aren’t to my taste on pizza. Had a "cheeseburger" pizza from dominoes once and it was abysmal.

Better kiwi than pasta

As an Italian I’d eat this, heck I eat pineapple on pizza and love it

Italian as in Italian American?

[–] ShouldIHaveFun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

FYI America is not the only country Italians live in. They also populate a whole country on the other side of the world. The Italian Americans that colonized this country called it Italy and named themselves "Italians" (without "American", I know, it's crazy!).

[–] chrischryse@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Well technically Sicilian

True cuz I’m actually Sicilian

Banana curry pizza is popular in Sweden.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'd try it. Fuck it. Can't be worse than the Germans and their tuna and corn pizzas. Lunatics.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Tuna on pizza is so dry. They don't belong together.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

As a German: Fuck Tuna on Pizza. That’s just cat food pizza…

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 months ago

Popular might be overselling it a bit there, buddy. It exists and some people eat it.

Now kebab pizza, there's a popular pizza for you. With good reason, I might add - it's the god emperor of hangover foods.

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

Actually, yes.

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

And what is diversity but a celebration of differences?

Kiwiza?

Btw. fun fact, most italians nowadays like their pizza bianci (white sauce) instead of rosso (tomato sauce)

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

Kiwi makes my mouth sting. otherwise i'd try it

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Italian nationalism around food had fascit roots. It's fictional and stupid. Grow up.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Try putting durian on that

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Only reason I'd say no is that it looks like shit sauce and shit crust. I'd still try it, but it wouldn't be a good pizza in the first place, so I wouldn't consider it to be a definitive example of what kiwi on pizza would be.
