Beyond Pineapple: Unconventional Pizza Toppings Would They Actually Work?

Plaza Pizza: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

At Plaza Pizza, we take pride in serving classic, time-tested favorites that our customers love. From our All the Meats Pizza loaded with pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage, and hamburger to our BBQ Chicken Pizza topped with a delicious BBQ sauce drizzle, our menu   is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. Whether you're craving a Traditional Pepperoni Pizza or a specialty favorite like the Shirley Lou Dessert Pizza, there's always something satisfying waiting for you at Plaza Pizza.

But what if we took it a step further? What if we explored the possibilities of unconventional pizza toppings that push the boundaries of what a pizza can be?


Rethinking Pizza: Unconventional Toppings Ideas!

Pizza is one of the most versatile dishes in the world. While classics like mozzarella and tomato sauce are beloved staples, a new wave of unique pizza flavors is emerging, combining innovative pizza ideas that challenge the norm while delivering incredible taste. Could a little creativity elevate your next slice?


10 Unconventional Pizza Toppings That Might Surprise You


1. Hot Honey & Pepperoni

A drizzle of hot honey over classic pepperoni pizza brings a sweet-heat contrast that enhances the rich, salty flavors. The slight caramelization of honey on a crispy crust makes every bite irresistible.


2. Fig & Prosciutto

This unique pizza flavor is a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The natural sweetness of figs pairs beautifully with the saltiness of prosciutto, creating a gourmet pizza experience.


3. Truffle Oil & Wild Mushrooms

For an earthy, umami-packed bite, truffle oil and a mix of wild mushrooms (shiitake, porcini, or chanterelles) bring a touch of fine dining to your pizza.


4. Kimchi & Spicy Pork

Inspired by Korean flavors, kimchi adds a tangy, slightly spicy crunch, while spicy pork provides a robust depth of flavor that makes this an unforgettable pizza.


5. Avocado & Cilantro-Lime Drizzle

A West Coast favorite, adding fresh avocado and a cilantro-lime drizzle on top of a cheesy pizza creates a fresh, vibrant contrast to traditional rich flavors.


6. Pickles & Dill Ranch

Yes, pickles on pizza! Their vinegary tang, combined with a dill-infused ranch drizzle, makes for an unexpectedly delightful and addictive bite.


7. Mac & Cheese Pizza

Creamy, cheesy macaroni baked onto a pizza crust? It’s the ultimate comfort food mashup that brings the best of both worlds into one indulgent bite.


8. Peanut Sauce & Grilled Chicken

Taking inspiration from Thai cuisine, peanut sauce as a base instead of traditional tomato sauce adds a nutty, slightly sweet depth, paired with grilled chicken and fresh veggies.


9. Eggs & Bacon (Brunch Pizza)

Who says pizza is just for lunch or dinner? A brunch pizza featuring a runny egg yolk, crispy bacon, and caramelized onions is a must-try.


10. Strawberries & Goat Cheese

A fruity, tangy combination that works surprisingly well, strawberries bring a juicy sweetness, while goat cheese adds a creamy, slightly tangy kick.
