Trying new things is always great; if it leads to a new delicious experience, even better!

Everyone sticks to the ordinary pepperoni, cheese, or even the forbidden and controversial pineapple, that sometimes we forget we have other options! Pizza toppings are a great, unknown way to express yourself and have a tasty treat while doing so, because here's the thing: who knows, maybe you'll be the next pizza-toppings-trendsetter?
I don't know if you're like me and hate it when some flavor packs too strong of a punch. That's why peaches are excellent. It doesn't overpower, yet it provides a subtle taste. You see, a little bit of fruit in your pizza is a great way to add a unique flavor that isn't too strong. In addition, this is an excellent substitute for those who love pineapple but whose friends keep nagging them about their "strange flavor choices." (I understand wholeheartedly). If you want to pack the punch more, add mango or coconut.
Have you ever been to a party where they served pizza and ice cream? We probably all have, but now imagine that party upgraded, with instead of the pizza and ice cream being separate, they are merged in a not-gross-but-amazing way! I know what you're thinking, "No way am I going to put ice cream on top of all my other pizza stuff." I understand that's why you eliminate all other "pizza stuff" and just put ice cream on your crust! I know it makes the ice cream a little bit more than just your ordinary topping, but with something as irresistibly yummy as an ice cream pizza, it's hard not to include on this list.
When I first read this, I thought, "Curry, bananas, and pizza don't belong together." I was wrong. This is an incredible pizza flavor. It's insane, to be honest. If the curry is tripping you up, add bananas, cinnamon, and pepper flakes to ease your way to the final boss of the curry. You must thank the Swedish for this interesting yet unusual pizza delight, as this was the pizza's country of origin.
So, in conclusion, hopefully, you've found something that sparked your attention. If none of the options looked interesting, I suggest making a list of all the simple foods you like (like fruit, veggies, sauces, spices, etc) and see if any of those would look good combined with a pizza. Feel free to mix and match the toppings on your list.
