What pizza toppings?

[sidekickdmr]

So, i am looking into a bit of a venture, all a bit hush hush for now but I need to start thinking what weird and wonderfull things people have on pizza's

you obiusly have the standard cheese, ham, chicken, pepperomi, chillies etc etc

But im after the more abstract stuff!

E.G. Different flavor sauce for the base, Egg for the centre, peanuts, squid, bacon, rocket, you get the idea!

Thanks

Haggis

Try it haggis and cheese on a baked potato is amazing so it would be even better on a pizza.

Why is an egg in the centre 'abstract' ? Its a pretty common occurence surely ?

[sleep envy]

wild boar salami and rocket is my current favourite

[tmk2]

Parma ham and asparagus with an egg in the centre

Catalina dressing with shrimp/prawns goats cheese

Smoked salmon, aubergine and cream cheese works.

I am a 'fiorentina' man myself. So, I don't think egg is unusual at all.

Although, I also like Chilli and prawns with some greenery.

What ever you do, stone baked pizzas are soo much better, and I would pay more knowing it was truly stone-backed and had this crusts.

Not so much a topping, but pizza crust (stuffed for extra points) dipped in reggae reggae sauce

My local Italian restaurant offers Nutella as an option or the kids but I don't really get that one.

To offset this weirdness they also do a rather nice pizza that sees the tomato sauce replaced by horseradish with strips of steak, a small amount of cheese and some rocket. Personally I'd prefer spinach on it instead of the rocket.

The pizza express offering with brown shrimp and chilli oil also excited me but I'm easily pleased.

The best pizza by far is the classic Italian- thin pan, tomato sauce, basil, and mozarella.

That said, I just had a 'Chicago' from here which was very nice- thin pan, tomato sauce, red onions, minced beef in a BBQ style sauce, and mozarella. There was capsicum on it, but Satan's testicles have no place on a plate.

I've seen a plum and either gorgonzola or stilton (can't remember which) topping which might just work....

The shrimp one was really nice at Pizza Express, a bit on the small side for my appetite but very tasty. It was a "Theo Randall" promotion they ran but I don't think it's on anymore.

"Theo's Gamberettini" - A delicate marriage of brown shrimps, grated zucchini and garlic, with a créme fraîche and tomato sauce. Finished with grana padano, fresh parsley, lemon and chilli oil on the side.

They served it on a rectangular slate with a mini cutting wheel, felt quite special for a generic chain place.

The one with horseradish from my local (Gavi near Leeds) is this:

Lusso - Toma Piemontese cheese, Porcini Mushrooms, seared rib eye steak and horseradish,
topped with rocket (no tomato).
