What are your favorites? Partner and I made a cheese/onion/garlic pizza a few days ago with a garlic parm sauce base, and damn it came out good. The dough we used had some ricotta in it and was double proofed so im sure that helped too.

you can pry my tomato slop from my greasy dead hands, woke moralists!

BBQ BBQ BBQ.

everyone thinks it's yucky but the pizza itself has to "fit" it, it can't just be a normal pizza. onions and spicy peppers are a must

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Oh hell yeah. That's a tried and true alternative to tomato

Too sweet blugh

the age of pesto-base pizzas is upon us

possibly even chilli red pestos

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

oh fuck, just thought of calabrian chilli base

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

That's a good idea. I'll have to ask my dad if he had experience making it with a pesto-base. It should be cool to cook.

Lemme get uhhh some mayonnaise as sauce and cheddar cheese

this specific post has changed my opinion on whether italians are white

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I had a pizza last night (and again at 3am today) that was a blend of normal pizza sauce and Alfredo. That shit slapped.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like it'd be good! Or maybe like a creamy vodka sauce base?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

That could be good. I might try to make a vodka sauce with Mexican table cream instead of heavy cream next time and use that for a pizza.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

This goes incredibly hard on pasta too.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is this about dessert pizzas

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It can be! Share your secrets and opinions!

Ranch dressing with a little garlic powder mixed in

Yes I am American feel free to roast me

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Don't need to, summer is 4 months away

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

A thin alfredo made specifically for pizza. So pretty much garlic parm but emulsified.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Roasted red peppers, eggplant, and zucchini. Onion, garlic. Maybe some mushroom ketchup.

I haven't actually tried that but I wonder if it would make a good sauce. I'm thinking put it with smoked toppings.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

That does sound really good! Maybe like some smoked veggies and sprouts on the top?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I usually grab a can of bake bean and open the lid a bit so only the sauce comes out and I use the sauce as the base and then sprinkle the beans over the cheese

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Huh, that could be really good! Basically a beans on toast thing but with cheese

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

this actually sounds like it rules, will have to try

(you can now call me a redditor, but I am being sincere this sounds yum)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I’d rather peace tbh lol

On the west coast at least, there are a few Indian pizza fusion spots that do curry or tikka base, so it's almost like Indian food baked on naan, but it's more cheesy. Definitely worth a try

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Yes to all of those.

Another one that'll definitely raise some eyebrows, but i swear it's good and it requires some analysis of australian takeaway history and operation:

Mango Chutney

Hear me out
Various forms of take away/delivery food in aus-delenda-est are not strictly (stereotypically) owned or operated by the diaspora that brought the cuisine to australia, but has been absorbed by other groups as their migration wave established themselves and had the capacity to take over old or collapsed businesses. One big example is that Fish & Chip Shops were stereotypically the realm of Greek families for decades (but this seems to have turned towards Vietnamese families in the last 10-20 years).
The one relevant to suburban Pizza shops is that many wound up owned or operated by Indian or Turkish families, with Italian families seeming to only retain footholds in certain areas or otherwise have their australian-born generations pivot to fancier, more expensive wood-fired pizzas or ride the Neapolitan-style wave.

CW: meat mentionThus, god's gift was bestowed to us: the Tandoori Chicken Pizza - Chutney base (or tomato base with chutney on top), marinated Tandoori chicken, red onions, often some spinach, mozz and a drizzle of yoghurt

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

If it were on naan it'd just be a straight up Indian dish (in Rajasthan they have their own version of stretch cheese, mozzarella isn't unique to Italy)

I know of a pizza place where the owner dreamed up 5 different ways on the menu to have a nonstandard sauce with chicken as a topping. 3 of them had bacon as well as chicken.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

homemade turbo-garlic hummus with added smoked pepper, cumin and chili powder chickpea

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

There's a pizza place up by me that does a pizza with this sweet chili sauce base. chefs-kiss

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Garlic oil but also white sauces in general you can make a vegan one, pestos as well are great and folks, we gotta talk hummus. Oh shit also roasted red pepper sauce done the same way as marinara is something fucking else. I've also done a refined bean base, tarragon aoili for a wine stwed pear and posted shallot pizza. I've done green curry and pickled veggies, garlic butter blitzed eith broccoli until its a paste, domain sauce (nova Scotia things look it up, it is great). Literally anything works if you match the toppings to fit. I'm vegan but making g fancy pizzas is my job and marinara is like...the lamest. Roasted red pepper sauce had to be my fave tho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Lemon-garlic aioli

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

just a centimeter thick layer of hot sauce, let's get weird with it. Or split the difference and do sriracha. Or hummus.

I've never had a non-tomato based pizza.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

How about going for a hummus base?

That does sound good. Onions and cheese are such an underappreciated combo. Never tried pizza without tomato sauce though. Sounds like a worthwhile idea to explore. Especially with some sauteed broccoli and garlic on top. Maybe some Kalamata olives too.

How about an everything bagel pizza with cream cheese as the sauce, mozz, and all the everything bagel toppings sprinkled on it?

Could add lox or bacon as a meat topping…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

there's a few places around me that do indian curry sauces on pizza I really like

also teriyaki sauce pizza is great, pesto is great too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

baesd on the success I had with mixing gochujang and fried mashed peanuts with pasta sauce for noodles I would say someone try that for a pizza and you're welcome in advance

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Pesta sauce, regular mozz, fresh mozz, salted tomato, maybe olive oil
