This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

I 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!

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?"

My Kroger sells these.

Which sauce did you get?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

I order a pickle, pineapple, onion and olive pizza all the time it’s fucking amazing.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

As 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.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I love pizza with banana pepper rings. Not that different than pickles.

[–] Gaboose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The best. Try it with lots of arugula heaped on top. My go to is pepperoni & mushroom pizza with arugula and banana pepper rings thrown atop each slice.

For over 20 years my favourite pizza has been plain cheese with cold cucumber slices on top. Warm and gooey + cold and crunchy.

[–] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That sounds good too

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.

no, this is patrick

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Id give it a go

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Think the flavor could work, but the texture of a pickle pizza might trigger a gag reflex.

Though I will give that a try.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I 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.

[–] pemptago@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

+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.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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!

[–] Emi@ani.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You gave me an idea for Sauerkraut pizza, with onions and sausage. Maybe an egg too.

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sauerkraut, smoked sausage, onion, a bit of sharp cheddar, and a drizzle of franks red hot is honestly a god-tier pizza.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why didn't they finish cooking it

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

They couldn't resist and wait any longer

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hard to find a balance with toppings with such high water contents.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Picked jalapeno is fantastic on pizza, pickled onion also good, I'd try it.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is just a hamburger minus the patty. I'm sure it's delicious.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Get some crumbled ground beef and toss it on that sumbich.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you show up in Chicago I will personally drag you to the West Side, shatter your ankle, and then leave.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Just for you next time I'm in Chicago, I'm going to order a pickle Chicago deep dish pizza

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I once had a slice of a detroit style pizza with pickles on sour dough bread drizzled with mustard.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Pickles on pizza aren't bad. But you have to have some sausage and onions besides that.
