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.

italy wants to access your location

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Which sauce did you get?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 10 points 10 months 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.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gaboose@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Id give it a go

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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!

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why didn't they finish cooking it

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

They couldn't resist and wait any longer

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Emi@ani.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months ago

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