I have a couple of BBQ sauce based pizza's also, but the weirdest one is a Reuben Pizza. It uses 1000 isle dressing as the sauce along with the corned beef and sauerkraut. Also have one with traditional sauce and ham and sauerkraut. That actually sounds good. Can you post the recipe or is that a trade secret? The Reuben pizza? no real recipe, just use 1000 island dressing as sauce, add thinly sliced cooked corned beef then top with well drained kraut and then mozza. We actually squeeze out the kraut or it makes a sloppy pizza. If you like Reubens then you might like this Reuben soup recipe. I serve it here since the sandwiches and pizzas are so popular in this area. While I really don't like Reubens because of the dressing I do like soup. www.kraftfoodservice.com/recipes/reuben-soup-153043.aspxThere is a trail size version link under the picture. I use chicken stock since I use precooked corned beef. I also leave out the caraway seed and serve with rye toasts. |

Out in my area, Buffalo Chicken Pizza is quite popular. Standard pizza dough topped with pieces of buffaloed chicken tenders, blue cheese and (sometime) diced celery. Topped with blue cheese dressing after baking. It's quite good when done right.
Though, another favorite around here is Mashed Potato Pizza: mashed potatoes, bacon bits, scallions, cheddar (and/or jack and/or mozz), and...wait for it...*ranch dressing*
My personal favorite is White Broccoli Pizza: broccoli, olive oil, garlic & mozzarella (white = no sauce)...add clams & bacon to make a Clams Casino Pizza.
On the list of Pizzas I Just Don't Understand: Hawaiian Pizza...top a perfectly good pizza with chunks of ham (that's not the problem) and chunks of pineapples (huh???). Choice of cheese or sauce varies by establishment. Then again, is this really how Hawaiians like their pizza dressed??

You lost me on the first two (blue cheese, celery and clams on pizza?!), but I'm with you on the so-called "Hawaiin pizza". There's just no legitimate reason for spoiling perfectly good pizza and perfectly good pineapple by putting them both in your mouth at the same time! Mustard is a nice condement and gummy bears also taste good, but that doesn't mean they go together! |

Then again, is this really how Hawaiians like their pizza dressed?? hawaiian is a relatively recent appellation, and I would guess it has little to do with how Hawaiians eat pizza. nonetheless, ham and pineapple have been paired together for longer than I've been alive; so it is only natural that they would also get paired on pizza.  |

Just something about pineapple on pizza that doesn't seem right. Perhaps it's because pineapple is sweet and I'm accustomed to savory & salty toppings on pizza. |

If it is not the standard crust, but something between a pizza crust & a pastry crust, then that's an entirely different creature all together.  |

I'm actually not sure if it is different from the standard crust or not. they make a cheese bread pizza, a cinnamon roll pizza and a s'mores pizza along with their other take & bake pizzas (this is papa murphy's I am talking about) |

Whereas, Papa John's sometimes offers a 'cookie pizza', which is really an oversized/extra thick chocolate chip cookie. |

Just something about pineapple on pizza that doesn't seem right. Perhaps it's because pineapple is sweet and I'm accustomed to savory & salty toppings on pizza. I really like a Hawaiian pizza. You get some savoury and a bit of salt (depending on the type of ham used) and the sweet of the pineapple makes for a good counter so you get both flavours at once. Not every pizza needs to knock your socks off. If you like cold pizza, getting a Hawaiian pizza and leaving it in the fridge overnight gives the flavours a chance to mingle and really come out. |

I am one of those odd sorts who does not consider fungus and mold to be food groups. I'm one of those odd sorts that don't think fruit belongs in or on hot food. Actually, apart from jelly/jam, canned peaches (but only with vanilla ice cream) and juice, I'm not all that into any sort of cooked or otherwise processed fruit at all. Not even in cakes and pastries. It gets mushy and my mouth just can't work with a mushy consistency and fruit flavor at the same time for some reason. I'll take my fruit fresh or not at all, thank you very much. I'm also not a fan of the moldy foods, which is why the blue (or any other color of moldy) cheese is out for me. I do like mushrooms though. |

I am watching slightly bemused that a Nation that can put thousand-island-dressing in as a replacement for Tomato sauce on a pizza can complain about having Pineapple on there. Or someone that will quite happily eat a pizza with a slice of cooked tomato on the top can complain about fruit. Tomato and Pineapple, both loosely bundled into the "fruit" category. Ham and Pineapple is one of the classic food combinations that just "works", and for me, I cant see wht replacing sliced tomato as a pizza topping with sliced Pineapple is much out of the way.... Especially from people who also consider something out of a TUBE as cheese. Cultural Differences... Cooked fruit. If you have never tried Apple pie, do so now. Peaches poached in alcohol. Cooked fruit is just fine in many many ways, yes, sure, some of it, like Damsons, Dates, Oranges, maybe they have no place on a pizza?.. unless of course, you like it that way.  allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fruit-Pizza-II/I have to reserve judgement, I have never tried that. |

Tomato and Pineapple, both loosely bundled into the "fruit" category. Yes, yes and technically, a banana is a berry, not a fruit (it's true, look it up), but when I say "fruit", I mean what's classically seen as fruit, like apples, pears, peaches, plums, bananas, pineapples, mangos and stuff like that. Ham and Pineapple is one of the classic food combinations that just "works", and for me, I cant see wht replacing sliced tomato as a pizza topping with sliced Pineapple is much out of the way.... Well, they don't taste the same, do they? Salt and sugar can both be loosely bundled into the "crystal" category, but that doesn't mean cake tastes good with a pound of salt and a teaspoon of sugar in it. Cooked fruit. If you have never tried Apple pie, do so now. Tried it in many versions and I didn't like any of them. To my tongue, apples and pears are the worst fruits when it comes to heating and processing. I like them fresh, but not processed in any way, except when they're made into juice or cider. |

Fruits and vegetables... Technically (botanically?), fruits and vegetables are all fruits. The scientific classification is that of fruit for plants characterized by having a peel or rind, some type of internal seed (pit, pith, pods), and can be consumed. Vegetable is a term created by the food industry to differentiate sweet (fruit) from savory (vegetable). Under other circumstances, we could be eating fruits and dongles... |

Botanically speaking, any edible part of a plant that isn't a fruit or berry is a vegetable, so it's not just a word the food industry has dreamed up to sell broccoli and brussel sprouts The sweet vs. savory argument isn't used by botanists, only by chefs (and most other people). A botanist would call tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, even bean pods and corn kernels fruits, because that would be scientifically correct, since they are all means for the plant to spread its seeds. A chef (and most other people) on the other hand would call them all vegetables because of their flavor. Going by the purely scientific definition, even nuts and grains are fruits. |

I have had a cold pie that is similar to that. pastry crust with a layer of chocolate melted into it, then a creamy filling and the fresh fruit on top. it is a nice summer dessert. |

I think grains and nuts are not considered fruits, because they are just the seed - though many nuts grow inside fruits. (or on fruits in the case of the cashew) I think berries and drupes are both subcategories of fruit and defined by structure. |
