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?"

Better than I expected

My Kroger sells these.

Which sauce did you get?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 9 points 4 days 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.

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

[–] Gaboose@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days 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.

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

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 4 days 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.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Id give it a go

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days 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 3 days 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.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Why didn't they finish cooking it

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

They couldn't resist and wait any longer

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

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

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

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.

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

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

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 2 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 3 days 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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 3 days 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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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 4 days ago

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