Thin whole wheat crust with grilled chicken, eggplant, spinach, shiitaki mushrooms, garlic and 3 cheeses. And I once had a seafood pizza with shrimp, lobster, baby squid, clams and mussels, with sun-dried tomatoes. ---

In Hungary I used to get one that was topped with chicken livers and cheese. And I liked it. ---

Oh, wait, you said “fancy.” I guess “chicken livers” doesn’t qualify as fancy. Well then, I make a pizza with prosciutto, asparagus, kalamata onions, fresh tomatoes, and goat cheese which I simply adore. Drizzled with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Yum yum. ---

I’ve seen on the board that others don’t care for it but I have a real weakness for cheeseburger pizza. Dough, mustard, ketchup, shredded American cheese, ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions, and dill pickle chips. Absolute nirvana! Don’t ask me to rationalize it, I just like it. And the pickles are the best part. ---

Well, while I have a fondness for Thai Chicken and Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic pizzas, I’ll admit that I once had a Peking Duck pizza that was pretty tasty. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > Piecora’s here in Seattle used to make a shrimp-and-pesto pizza (white sauce, thin crust) that was heavenly. I haven’t been there in years so I don’t know if it’s still on the menu.They used the little bite-size mini-shrimps, not the finger-size cocktail shrimps, for this reason. It worked really, really well. Now, if I were making it, I’d add whole roasted cloves of garlic, and it’d be perfect… A local brewpub ( like everything else here, it is named “The Atomic”) has a shrimp with pesto pizza with a definite green sauce that is fantastic. Also, I will second the accolades for the vegetarian pizza at our “Round Table” (three of them in the area). ---

And the pickles are the best part. While I never had that, it sounds good to me. Especially if you used Vlassic zesty garlic dills. Actually, the only thing from your list I would leave out would be the tomatos (don’t care for raw tomatos) ---

From Gino’s Pizza: Chicken Pesto. Best thing ever. Pesto sauce instead of tomato sauce, chicken, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. Just divine. ---

On the 4th **Flander** and I tried ice cream pizza for the first time. It was great! A regular pizza crust with a cheesecake type gooey layer on it, then covered with apple pie filling. It was cooked nice and hot then topped with vanilla ice cream, mmmm. It was great! ---

Is eggplant, goat cheese, and roasted garlic weird enough? It seems pretty normal to me, but maybe I’ve been living in the Bay Area too long. ---

Sun dried tomatoes, lots of chunk crab meat, red onions, roasted red peppers, roasted garlic, mushrooms, LOTS of fresh mozzarella cheese and olives. Wonderful! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-fancy-pizza/305386.md?page=2)
