My favorite pizza has a pesto sauce, balsamic-marinated tomato slices, pepperoni, and fire-roasted red peppers.

> I’d prefer almost any _Capsicum_ cultivar to jalapenos, including the bell peppers that pizza places put on their pizzas. They must get them from a place known for growing flavorful varieties or prepare them in a special way because when I put bell peppers that I bought at a grocery store on my pizza, it tastes like nothing but water. But i’d agree that a piquant pepper would add something to the mix.

Track down the [South African variety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_piquant%C3%A9_pepper) marketed as “peppadew”. They’re pretty ubiquitous on chain pizza here. [If you can find them](https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/inside-our-kitchen/article/where-to-buy-the-elusive-peppadew), that is.

Bell pepper, eggplant, onion and goat’s cheese - that’s a good pizza.

My local grocery chain has peppadews as part of their mushroom/olive/pepper bar. Very tasty!

Yes. Yes they are.

Texans may have all the political sense of a brain-dead clam, but their food sense is nigh-on perfect. See [Lockhart](https://bbqrevolt.com/best-bbq/lockhart/) for further evidence thereof.

The only time I couldn’t take a pizza topping was figs. That was terrible. Usually even if I don’t like a particular pizza, I can still eat it. I could not eat the fig pizza.

My favorita pizza was Thai peanut sauce, grilled chicken, bacon, grilled onions and a sprinkle of cilantro. The blend of flavors was amazing. I only say “was” because they sold out, and the new owners don’t make it right.

Some of you people are freaks, pizza-wise, but this sounds really good!

Not the pineapple I’m using in my Ambrosia salad.

I’m okay with _pineapple is a legitimate pizza topping_, however.

I had a pizza in Tuscany that was fig, prosciutto, and balsamico. Delicious.

I’m betting some of you put pickles in peanut butter sandwiches.

No, but I do put pickle relish on my mac & cheese.

When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria offered peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. On white bread, of course.

It may have been my 8 year old taste buds, but damn, those were good.

I tried a seasonal pizza from Pagliacci Pizza and loved it. It was their [Pear Primo](https://twitter.com/pagliaccipizza/status/1068312029398818816?t=uIGSRU8qnYWsIj-yq_Ea7g&s=19), never seen pear on pizza before.

I would **so** eat that pizza! Had one similar in Vegas a few years back. Was magnificent.
