Crawfish, roasted red bell, andouille, apricot glaze, red onions, fontina and moz.

Pineapple OMG again with the pineapple bashing. lol.

Our pizzas are low fat for the most part, and we sprinkle a vegan parmesan on them which is essentially nutritional yeast, nu-salt (or salt), and ground up cashews. Some recipes for vegan parmesan have more ingredients. Hemp seed, onion powder, garlic powder, italian herbs, pepper flakes, all optional.

It gives it a different texture, and some flavors.

I don’t consider the things that I enjoy to be unconventional.

I have used partially cooked bacon, with good results.

I don't do unconventional things with pizza, as a rule... however, I did make weird pizza for a challenge once, and it was way out there. But, it was actually invented in Italy, and is famous in one city there.

Pizza Rossini

Pizza Rossini This is a pizza from Rossini, Italy, with hard boiled egg slices and mayonnaise on top. :ohmy: I only found one recipe, and it was in Italian. I was able to decipher the ingredients, and I found photos to show me what it should look like. Ingredients Pizza Dough (homemade or...

Not sure how uncommon it is, but arugula sure tastes good on a plan cheese slice. I once brought in a bunch of arugula for a friend on a day we were having a meeting at work ( where we ordered a bunch of pies). I saw her grab a bunch of arugula and put it on her slice . At first I was taken back, as I've never done it before. tried it myself, and loved it. Now I do it every chance I get .

I hate kale, but do like arugula. I've never tried it on pizza, but may need to. Sounds good.

BTW, is it arugula or rocket in Canada?

Don't know, never noticed. I hear both used but have no idea if I'm hearing it from American sources or Canadian.

My observation is that Canadians mostly use the same words as Americans, but often with British spellings.

Ham & pineapple.

That would be my favorite unconventional topping, but by this time, I'd question whether it really is unconventional anymore.

I like BLT pizzas, which is considered 'weird' by some folks. I make a BLT pizza at home sometimes. Instead of sauce, the crust is spread with mayonnaise and I bake it with the bacon and tomato. Then once it's done, I add a bumload of chopped iceberg lettuce, then stick it back in the oven for just a couple of minutes. I don't know why, but I like the lettuce slightly wilted.

One of my favorite pizzas to make at home, besides a veggie.

A traditional Margherita will do for me, thank you.
I've never tried a Rossini, invented in Central Italy as a tribute to the composer who was born there. The mayonnaise should be homemade, though .

One which we consider unconventional is pizza with chips and frankfurters , I'd never choose it.
Of course ham and pineapple are very unconventional but it's only offered in some pizzerias because of tourist demand .

I like the sound of the B and T part, not sure about the L part. I do love grilled romaine lettuce, so I certainly see the potential. Have you tried romaine instead of iceberg? I think it is the iceberg part I worry about. How does it stand up to the heat of the oven?

I sprinkle romaine lettuce leaves with some EVOO and fresh black pepper, and toss it on the grill. I did not invent that -- a lot of people have been doing that for years.

I can certainly see a BLT pizza being a good thing. Certainly nothing weird about it.

I am glad that you verified that a Pizza Rossini is a real thing, and I did not know it was named for the composer. I did not make the mayonnaise myself.

That was one of the most unusual things I've ever cooked. I did it for a challenge, and it got a lot of attention... not all good.

That might be popular at 2AM in American States where marijuana is legal.

Looks delicious, doesn't look like an unconventional one, or is there a hidden unusual ingredient?
