Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.
In seriousness, I could see pear being fantastic. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.
Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:
They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.
It's damn fine.
I've seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.
Figs are amazing.
...tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini...
Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
Peppers.
Olives
Pear works well on white pizza
Apples work well on white pizza as well. Perhaps OP only tried with red sauce, which I imagine wouldn't be very good.
But indeed there's a local pizza place around where I live that does a simple olive oil base topped with creamy cheese, tart apples, arugula, and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It's utterly fantastic
Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.
Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.
I’ve had pizza with mozzarella, lemon, olive oil, and arugula on it. So good.
Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled "pork", it'd be great on a BBQ pizza.
As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.
What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.
I think it's great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.
artichoke
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ's sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.
My local favorite is apple slices+bacon, it's the best.
My guess is that it depends on the apple type.
Some apples are better than other to make apple pies without making it soggy, same issue could apply to pizzas.
BBQed Jackfruit
Banana is a common topping in Sweden. Add some curry and peanuts while you're at it.
Squash and zuchinni
TIL squash are fruit like tomatoes.
New info for me to
Not only that, they're all berries.
On of my local pizzerias has one with apple and it's actually one of my favorite!
But my number one is the "indian", which is basically chicken, curry, pineapple and raisin
White pie with peach, burrata, basil, and balsamic vinegar.
I had a pizza in Mexico with cherries on it and i did indeed hate it.
Fresh cherries, cherries from a can, or the little jarred cherries they put on ice cream sundaes. I need this information to properly set my levels of revulsion.
Pear, gorgonzola and arugula. It was delicious. I ate the whole thing and now I'm ashamed of myself.
Strawberry works, but I you've said that already. I believe banana is used in some Nordic country too (not 100% about this)
