I've Never Had Anchovies And It's Mostly Because Of How Many People Saying They Are The Worst Pizza Topping
Anchovies Has Been Called By Many As The Worst Pizza Topping Ever!
Actually my guy and I were really curious about the whole anchovy pizza thing, we were at a very traditional, authentic wood fired pizza place where the thin crust is cracker thin and crispy. (No thick or stuffed crust on the menu, a thick crust here would be like most everyone else's thin crust.)
We got talking to the owner about anchovy as a pizza topping, he told us something like; "OK, I'll make you a small pizza with Anchovies and olives on it, if you don't like it you don't pay for it if you do you can pay if you like." OK, deal we both figured we have nothing to lose.
A few minutes later the owner comes back out with a ten inch pie with anchovies which he had broken up into about a quart of an inch long and kalamatta olives. We ended up paying for the pie. While it isn't our favorite topping, it is an interesting flavor which when paired with the amazing thin crust, fresh spicy tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese just might prove even the most leery person wrong! It's not something I'd go to Pizza Hut and order either! (In my opinion, it might be a good one bite horsdovour with something to drink along with it, but only with that cracker thin crust!!)
Have to agree with pineapple not belonging on pizza, pineapples don't grow in Italy so they don't belong on a pie! Well at least the pizza I'm eating!!
I worked at a pizza place that had anchovies as an ingredient. It very rarely got ordered. I don't know the numbers, but if I had to totally guess, thinking about working the phones, I'd guess around 2-5% of pizzas.
I don't personally think they are horrible. They were edible. But I don't want to ruin a perfectly good pizza either. "Not horrible" and "edible" aren't good enough for a pizza.
Well, as a vegetarian, I eat only meatless types of Pizza, but I know lots of people who like anchovies. I think pineapple is the worst pizza topping ever, I don't like combinations of sweet and savory foods.
My favorite way is with dried coffee grounds with peanut butter and anchovies sandwich. Then chase it down with a shoot a vodka. Been doing that every Saturday since high school. Yum yum
I don't think they are too bad. Pineapple is in my opinion definitely the worst one (out of common pizza toppings). Pineapple absolutely does not belong on pizza.
I respect those who always avoid anchovy pizza because they are vegetarians. But shame on the wimps who hate it, especially those who've never tried it! No excuse there. by the way fish was the earliest & original pizza topping which existed in ancient Rome in the BCs.
It's like putting sardines on your pizza, it's not a great combination for most people, many YouTube videos of a guy trying it are funny to watch how disgusted he was trying it 😊
