Beyond the Margherita: A Guide to Unconventional Pizza Toppings
Everyone loves pizza, right? But sometimes it can get a bit boring picking out the same toppings over and over again. So why not mix things up? Here are some unconventional pizza toppings you might want to try.
Fruits
Yes, you read that right. Fruits. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Pineapple on pizza is already a classic, but try other fruits like figs, peaches, or even apples. The sweetness of the fruit complements the salty and savory flavors of the pizza.
Eggs
Put an egg on it! Adding a sunny-side-up egg on top of a pizza can take it to a whole new level. As the yolk mixes with the sauce and cheese, it creates a rich and creamy sauce of its own.
Seafood
Seafood might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of pizza, but it can add a unique flavor profile. Try shrimp, squid, or even anchovies if you're feeling adventurous.
Artichokes
Artichokes might not be the most mainstream pizza topping, but they add a tangy and slightly bitter taste that pairs well with cheese and tomato sauce.
Potatoes
Yes, you can put potatoes on pizza. Sliced thin and roasted first, they add a delicious and hearty element to the pizza. Add some rosemary for an extra kick of flavor.
Hot Sauce
Okay, hot sauce might not technically be a topping, but adding some to your pizza can give it a nice spicy kick. Just be careful not to overdo it!
So next time you're craving pizza, don't be afraid to step outside of the box with your toppings. Who knows, you might discover your new favorite pizza combination.
