Weird Pizza Combinations

Pizza is an incredibly common food and it's also an amazing food because it can be used in so many different situations. An even more amazing thing is that there are so many combinations of flavors.

Some of those combinations are just about everywhere, like pepperoni and cheese, Hawaiian or meat-heavy pizzas, but others are much more obscure. In fact, there are some flavors out there that probably taste amazing, even though you've never heard of them before and have certainly never tried them.

So, let this list inspire you and let me show you some of the more unusual flavors of pizza out there. Some of them might be downright weird, but that won't stop them tasting good.

Texas Margherita Pizza

A photo posted by @midniteslice on Oct 27, 2015 at 6:45pm PDT

Fried green tomatoes, jalapenos and who knows what else. The pizza does look good though.    

 

Spicy Pizza

A photo posted by Lulu (@sweetsinnamon) on Dec 4, 2014 at 6:53pm PST


The poster doesn't describe this one, but it looks pretty spicy to me, which could be fun.

 

Chocolate Pizza

A photo posted by @caamil on Oct 13, 2015 at 8:59am PDT

Personally, I love dessert pizzas, but chocolate and berries can certainly seem like a strange pizza flavor to some.  

 

Pretty Colors

Timothy // License
Timothy // License

Here's another one where the author doesn't bother to explain what's going on. It doesn't look like a normal pizza though – but it would probably taste great.   

 

Curried Chicken and Yam

A photo posted by Alayna Marie (@almablack86) on May 11, 2015 at 4:00pm PDT

Curry-based pizzas are really unusual, but that flavor combination would probably work very well.

 

Egg and Greens Pizza

A photo posted by Hólmgeir Austfjörð (@geiri900) on Oct 30, 2014 at 10:58am PDT

People seem to freak out about the idea of egg on a pizza. I don't know why, this one looks like a really good balance of flavors (and colors).  
 

Chicken and Spinach

Jerry // License

You can't really tell by looking, but this one was chicken with a spinach sauce. Odd presentation, but those flavors do work well together.   
 

Homemade Chicken, Spinach and Extras

A photo posted by Brianna (@tassaron) on Jun 26, 2015 at 11:49am PDT


This version is a homemade approach, also using spinach and chicken, along with a number of other ingredients. Looks good.

 

Meatball Pizza

A photo posted by Mild Bill (@mrbillrb) on Feb 9, 2014 at 4:30pm PST

Meatballs on a pizza is a seriously tasty option, although this type of pizza can be a bit tricky to eat.  
 

Cookies and Cream Pizza

A photo posted by ? Cecilia Peralta ? (@ceciliaperalta_) on Mar 7, 2013 at 12:49pm PST

The person who posted this pizza didn't seem to enjoy it, but honestly, it could be a pretty neat option for something a little bit different.   
 

Thai Chicken

A photo posted by Reject Superstar (@rejectsuperstar) on Aug 14, 2012 at 7:51pm PDT

This doesn't look like a pizza that you would normally find, but the flavors of a Thai chicken dish could actually work really well on a pizza.

 

Chicken Chipotle Pizza

Quinn // License
Quinn // License

I think this pizza manages to look weirder than it actually is. The flavor of the whole thing is chicken chipotle, but you wouldn't know that from looking at it.

 

Spinach, Feta and Octopus

A photo posted by Fuel Food Truck and Cafe (@fuelfoodtruck) on May 28, 2015 at 6:51pm PDT

I'm not so sure about this one, spinach and feta work well together, but octopus? That might be appealing to the seafood lovers out there.   
 

Perogi Pizza

A photo posted by Nancy (@sequined_genius) on Dec 5, 2014 at 3:44pm PST

This pizza is pretty common in Pittsburgh and it is literally a mashed potatoes pizza. It's a very unusual idea, but honestly, I'd love to try it.

Hot Dog Crust

A photo posted by Walker Fortson (@fortson4545) on Jul 2, 2015 at 11:52am PDT

Okay, this is just a pepperoni and cheese pizza, but take a look at that crust.

 

Deep Dish Cheeseless Pizza

Sharyn // License
Sharyn // License

I'm not sure what to think about a cheeseless pizza. It could be good though, especially as you'd taste the other flavors better.

 

Another Weird Crust

Diabolic // License
Diabolic // License

Who says that weird flavors are limited to the pizza itself?

 

Banana Pizza

A photo posted by @pastelpinkcoconut on Oct 2, 2015 at 11:16pm PDT

Putting bananas on pizza seems to be much more common than I expected. It could taste quite good actually, because the sweetness of the bananas would balance out the saltiness of the rest of the pizza.   
 

Leftover Pizza

A photo posted by Jenny Khoja (@jenkhoja) on Aug 2, 2015 at 11:03am PDT


Why not make pizza out of leftovers? This one is essentially herbs, olives and cheese and those flavors do work well together.

 

Shepard's Pie Pizza?

A photo posted by Carolina Garcia (@chefcarogarcia) on Jun 28, 2015 at 12:52pm PDT

What do I say about this one? Everything on here looks unusual for a pizza, but the whole thing still looks strangely appealing.   
 

Pizza with Squid

A photo posted by Fuel Food Truck and Cafe (@fuelfoodtruck) on Jun 12, 2015 at 7:11pm PDT


This combination would be awesome if you like squid – but pretty unappealing if you don't.

 

Another Margherita Variation

I love the way the meat is piled on here. It looks a bit unusual but certainly appealing.

 

Corn Chip Pizza

A photo posted by mniki_is_gypsy (@mniki) on Apr 27, 2014 at 1:49am PDT

Okay, there aren't actually corn chips on this pizza, but the flavors are what you would expect with corn chips.   
 

Caramelized Onions, Blueberries and Peppers

A photo posted by Joel Celaya (@gaseous__clay) on Sep 25, 2013 at 4:31pm PDT

I imagine this pizza would have a weird balance between sweet and sharp, which could actually work surprisingly well.

Dinuguan Pizza

Marlon // License
Marlon // License

This pizza uses dinuguan meat (go on, look it up, I'll wait), which is an odd choice. Still, that's a savory meat, so it could work well on pizza.

 

Sweet Potato Pizza

A photo posted by Only The Best (@down_to_grub) on Mar 13, 2015 at 8:59pm PDT

This is a healthy approach to pizza, with a sweet potato sauce and kale as a topping. The addition of bacon isn't exactly healthy, but it would help to make the whole thing taste good.  
 

Egg Again

A photo posted by Tyler O'Donovan, Realtor (@waterloo_realestate) on Feb 15, 2015 at 10:59pm PST

If it wasn't for the egg, this pizza would seem pretty normal. I don't know though, egg seems like it could taste pretty good on a pizza.

 

Nutella Dessert Pizza

Dan // License

This might be a variation on the traditional construction of a pizza, but hey, just about anything with nutella is going to taste good.

 

Avocado and Goat Cheese Pizza

A photo posted by Drinica (@waning13moon) on May 29, 2015 at 4:13pm PDT

Here's a flavor combination you've probably never thought of – avocado and goat cheese. What do you think? Would it be any good?  
 

Cookies and Cheese

A photo posted by @yanasarah on Jul 7, 2013 at 5:40am PDT

Here is a dessert pizza with a twist, it's cookies and cheese. Honestly, I don't know how those flavors would work together, but clearly someone likes the idea.
 

Cheese Pizza and Gherkins

A photo posted by Dana Bell (@dcbell20) on Jul 1, 2014 at 8:30pm PDT

It's a normal pizza except for the gherkins. But hey, why not?  
 

Vegan Pizza

This pizza offers up vegan versions of meat and cheese along with a whole host of other ingredients, including sweet potatoes. 
 

Sweet Potato with Paprika Chicken

GizmoDoc // License
GizmoDoc // License

This is another sweet potato pizza, this time relying on paprika chicken as well.

 

Goat Cheese, Honey and Sweet Potato

Sara // License
Sara // License

There's a lot going with this pizza, including goat cheese, honey, sweet potato and what looks like bacon.

Breakfast Pizza

Alpha // License

Chorizo, potatos, red onions and sweet chili sauce… what's not to like?
 

Beef Pizza with Lots More

JaBB // License
JaBB // License

Beef on a pizza isn't too odd, but this one also has potatoes and cream cheese in the mix. 
 

Stuffed Potato Pizza

Corey // License

With potatoes, bacon and cheese, this pizza just sounds wonderful to me.
 

Kale Pizza

David // License
David // License

Here's a modern type of pizza, this one has kale and it kind of looks like a little bit of salmon too.

 

Another Vegan Option

A photo posted by Mina Lowe (@minaroselowe) on Sep 28, 2015 at 2:27pm PDT


This one is another vegan pizza, this time in a Mediterranean style.
 

Huevos Rancheros Pizza

Mamichan // License
Mamichan // License

This Mexican combination of flavors isn't really unusual, but it is odd to see it on a pizza.
 

Complex Personal Pizza

Pan Pacific // License
Pan Pacific // License

This little pizza has so many toppings that it's difficult to tell what's going on, but that doesn't stop it from looking good.

 

Grape Dessert Pizza

Meng // License
Meng // License

The grapes look surprisingly cool on the pizza.
 

Cherry Tomatoes!

Hungry Dudes // License
Hungry Dudes // License

I love the way the cherry tomatoes on this pizza look, especially as the pizza isn't saturated with a ton of different toppings.

Greek Pizza

Adam // License
Adam // License

This pizza looks unique and probably tastes it too, because it uses lamb, grape leaves, olives, feta and a souvvlaki sauce.

 

Three Cheese Broccoli Rabe Pizza

A photo posted by Tykischa Joi Jacobsॐ (@tykischa) on Oct 29, 2015 at 1:04pm PDT

Throwing broccoli and rabe on a pizza isn't normal, but it would work well, provided that you like both of those vegetables. 
 

Sweet Potatoes, Green Peppers, Parmesan Cheese… Yum!

John // License
John // License

It amazes me just how many pizzas there are that use either regular potatoes or sweet potatoes. Even though those tastes are pretty unusual, they are also apparently popular. 

 

Chicken and Pesto

Stephanie // License
Stephanie // License

Who needs the traditional pizza sauce when you can have pesto? After all, chicken and pesto do go really well together. 

 

Unearthly Dessert

A photo posted by Carolin (@metalsumomo) on Oct 18, 2015 at 12:43am PDT


This pizza is actually from a pizza chain (but not an American one) and has berries, bananas, white chocolate, milk chocolate and custard. Yum!

    Just looking at the picture of each of these unique pizzas is making me hungry. I don’t know how I feel about the egg and greens pizza, though. Other than that one, I’d say I’d be willing to try all these combinations.

    Wow, that hot dog crust pizza actually looks really amazing! I imagine a pizza like that would be really popular for game day parties. I mean, pizza and hot dogs are pretty much classic dishes for watching sports! Plus, I think it would taste pretty good.

    Some of these sound good, but I’m not big on tomatoes or most veggies on pizzas so a lot aren’t good to me? But some of the dessert pizzas sound really goood..
