Pizza with very much cheese melting
Move over, pineapple. There’s a new fruit causing pizza chaos.
Oranges
Bubba Pizza, an Aussie chain, just dropped a bombshell on the internet: Ham and Orange Pizza. Yep. ORANGES. Peeled, juicy slices right there next to the cheese and ham. Some folks are horrified. Others? Weirdly intrigued.
Honestly, this feels like déjà vu. Remember when people first put pineapple on pizza? Outrage! Drama! Friendships ended! And now? Hawaiian pizza is a classic. So, could oranges be next?
Wacky Toppings That Actually Work
Oranges aren’t the only unexpected guest on a pizza. Plenty of bizarre toppings have gone from “gross” to “genius”:
- Pickles – The salty, tangy crunch? A+. (More on this in a sec.)
- Honey – A little drizzle over a spicy pepperoni? Game-changer.
- Mac & Cheese – Carbs on carbs. No complaints.
- Coconut – Yep, this is a thing. Somewhere.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – Sweet, melty madness.
- Squid Ink – Looks terrifying. Tastes oddly good.
Toppings That Are Just... Meh
Now, let’s talk about the toppings that are technically fine but also scream "I have no imagination."
- Plain ol’ mushrooms – Not truffle mushrooms, not wild mushrooms, just those basic, canned, rubbery ones. Why?
- Green bell peppers – Mildly bitter, kind of soggy, and doing the absolute bare minimum.
- Black olives – They don’t add much besides a weirdly metallic aftertaste.
- Chicken – On a BBQ pizza? Sure. But on a plain cheese? Dry. Bland. Next.
- Extra cheese – Look, cheese is great, but if that’s your only upgrade? Yawn.
Why settle for the culinary equivalent of watching paint dry when pizza can be so much more?
The Best Pizza Topping of All Time
Now, let’s talk pickles. Specifically, pickles and meatballs. If you haven’t tried this, stop what you’re doing and order one. The briny bite of pickles + the savory goodness of meatballs = pure perfection. I will die on this hill.
But hey, pizza is all about experimentation. Someone had to be the first to put cheese on bread, right? So maybe oranges deserve a shot. Maybe they’ll become the next big thing. Or maybe they’ll fade into obscurity like that time someone put gold flakes on a pizza.
Would you try it? Or are you firmly team “keep fruit off my pizza”?
