Surprised to see so many based comments. Now I know Lemmy is the platform for me. 😆
My knee jerk reaction was disgust, but then I was like you know what though? If I tell my kids every other day, "you have to try it first in order to say you don't like it", what kind of hypocrite would I be...
I will never try this though. There will never be an opportunity. 😄
Thank you for being an adult and attempting to keep your values consistent. My mom would’ve just told me, “Do as I say, not as I do,” then be surprised when I didn’t respect what she said.
Replace the cheese with white chocolate and you have a banger dessert.
I can see cheap store bought strawberries with savory things because they just have a bit of sweetness and sourness with little actual taste, but not actually good strawberries.
During the pandemic, I saw a reddit post (fuck u/spez) about someone that replaced pineapple with kiwi on a Hawaiian pie. I had just bought a pizza oven and figured I'd give it a try for the memes. It wasn't awful. No real need to do it again, but it was fine lul.
Strawberries, tomatoes and pineapples are all sweet/sour, with the difference being the amount of one taste over another. I think it's within reason to try to substitute between them and check how it influences the result.
Many times I've tried corn, pepper or green peas on pizza, all of them being sweet-tasting on their own so a strawberry isn't really that far going, in my opinion.
The only thing I'm wondering about is the texture. I don't know if a hot (probably even soft? Dunno) strawberry would be noticeable on a pizza and if so, would it be off-putting.
Strawberries don't handle heat well structurally. They end up very slimy. They're also not anywhere near as sweet on their own as pineapple is. When you blast them with heat, they get mushy and a bit more muted, pineapple keep their little juicy bursty bits.
Finishing with concentrated strawberry syrup would be really good. probably along the lines of honey.
When I make pizza later this week I'm going to try this out. TBH it looks tasty.
Edit: I tried it out, making my normal pizza with just the addition of strawberries (slightly spicy tomato sauce, spinach, vegan cheese, vegan sausage). It's okay but underwhelming. I think strawberries might be too subtle. It wasn't bad, but I'd rather just eat the strawberries on their own.
Every single "horrible" dish commented on here could be the single most delicious dish you'd have ever tasted. But you will never know because you gave it no chance.
This article was way more interesting than I expected. I particularly enjoyed the anecdote about how some guy forgot to prepare something for a potluck dinner, basically threw random stuff he had left together and someone at the dinner published the recipe in a magazine and the rest is history.
I kinda want to try it, I'm not against the combination in theory, it's just not really pizza anymore at that point, it just happens to be on a round flatbread.
I've had so much odd stuff on pizza thrown at me in Japan that I'll try anything these days. How about dollops of potato salad randomly scattered around? Actually not too bad.
Although the canned tuna mayo with corn didn't look too appetizing. Not sure what Kirkland is getting up to sometimes in the Japanese market but it's weird.
I haven't tried this but a few thoughts came to mind.
Strawberry shortcakes are a thing. So starch+strawberry+diary is a proven combo. Poland does something struggle-meal adjacent and just opts for pasta instead of cake.
Sweet and savory can work together on a pizza. Pineapple, with strong flavors like bacon and/or shrimp works pretty darn well on a pizza. It's like eating a whole luau at once.
Pizza Hut, back in the bad-old-days, used to have cobbler-like "pizzas" on the hot bar. They were basically fruit pies with flavors like cherry and apple. A strawberry dessert pizza would have fit right in.
The only reservation I have is how well tomato pizza sauce and strawberry go together. Strawberries are, IMO, a sure-fire hit on a white pizza, but with a rich, meaty tomato sauce? I have my doubts.
A dessert pizza is wildly different than a pizza with fruit on it though. The dessert pizza just puts sweet toppings ontop of dough. The other smothers a fruit in cheese and marinara.
My family used to house-sit during the summers when I was a kid-teenager and a pizzeria near there had several pizzas with mango-chutney. They were so fucking good! Had variations with both pineapple and banana slices (and both) with curry. They sadly closed down about 15 years ago but I still make pizza at home with the same things to this day, and will never stop.
And there's a place close to where I live that has a pizza with goats milk mozzarella, chanterelles, walnuts and honey that's really good (though I haven't had it in ~10 years since I don't consume animal products anymore).
I had a boss once who swore by strawberry jam with cheese. I guess it's the same salt and sweet combo as salted caramel. I will reserve judgement until I have tried for myself.
People here are saying that hot strawbs are bad and mushy, and I don't know enough to dispute that, but I would be willing to entertain the the idea of the flavour combination if there were more visible basil involved.
I'm a non-pineapple on pizza kinda guy, but I'm also a to each their own kind of guy. So be you, make you happy when it doesn't affect anybody else, and that means you put whatever ingredient you damn well please on pizza.
Pour some condensed milk or nutella and you have my last Friday order. Banana with cinnamon is also a common topping where I live. We usually order a normal salty topping too. The sweet one is for dessert.

Next time you want to experiment, try adding tater tots.
So many carbs, but damn it’s good. Just pre-cook the tots a bit before adding them to the pizza.

There was a chain near me that did this, except it was a dessert pizza with streusel and icing instead of sauce and cheese.
