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?
Durian
I’ve had a pretty decent pizza with peach on it.
many dont believe me, but grapes. They taste generally really gold when cooked.
Pineapple
Gimme some figs on a pulled pork bbq slice with thinly sliced red onions on top, that’d be awesome
i think a shredded coconut might work well, if your pizza didn’t have cheese on it (a vegan pizza for example)
Tomato
Edit: foiled again by quick lemmers
lemon peel (maybe even yuzu peel) could work quite well shaved over the crust
Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I’ve ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I’m surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I’d bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.
Plum with chicken and some bryndza (sheep’s milk cottage cheese) was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.
Also apple, tuna, bryndza.
I’m just really longing for some bryndza right now.
Tomato :-)
Damn. You beat me to it
Me too thanks
:-)
I don’t believe you.
Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.
In seriousness, I could see pear being good. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.
Pear goes great with strong cheeses in general so its probably going to work.
Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:
- fresh mozzarella
- shaved pear
- caramelized onions
- hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
- pistachios
They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.
It’s damn fine.
I’ve seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.
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.
Sounds like a job for a necromancer
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
Honestly even pineapple is fine on white pizza. I don’t usually like it much with red tomato sauce, but that’s honestly more because of the tomato sauce. I’ll absolutely devour a white pizza with pineapple and ham.
Yup, the arugula/balsamic combo is the same way I’ve enjoyed pear pizza. Delicious.
