What you can put on a pizza is only limited by your imagination.

In the end it's just a dough base, sauce and toppings. 

Authentic pizza?  Go to Naples... all the rest are imitations.

I personally like different pizzas and how each nation has adapted them to their own culture.

Exactly! I go to Ledo's because I want Ledo's pizza, not because I just want any ol' pizza. 'Mall pizza' is my fav, but I like pizza so much it's one of those things I'm willing to try in different places and I don't compare it to one single kind. I love pizza!!!

I generally like Japanese pizza and spaghetti... except for ones that have tons of mayonnaise on them.  The pizzas in those pics have a lot of mayo.

Shiso/tarako pizza is good!

I lived in Naples for over 2 years and I can say that truer words have never been spoken!  There is not a single place out there that can honestly say they make pizzas as good as the ones in Naples.  Nowhere. 

That said, unless the pizzeria calls pretends to be neapolitan, I just don't try to compare them to Naples pizza.  New York pizza, which I very much like, is completely different from Naples pizza and there is nothing wrong with that.  Same goes for Chicago pizza.

As for the toppings, I am picky and I don't like vegetables in my pizza.  I love meats though, and shrimp pizza does sound pretty darn good!

No 'crazy' pizza flavours in Scotland, but you may find some places that deep-fry their pizzas.   People on this forum will act all disgusted, but really... if you are in the mood for unhealthy fried junk food, it's pretty tasty!

They fry everything up there! Even Mars bars. :D

Someone gave DH a slice of haggis pizza at work ... he said it was good!

Well, it's not something you'd find on a pizza outside Scotland so it's crazy as in an unusual thing.

So, QG, is the deep fried pizza up there battered or left plain before fried? I just watched a goofy video of a chip shop owner in N.Y. who battered it before frying.......they described it as a cross between a pizza roll and mozarella stick. Sounds yummy to me!

That sounds good - how was it done?  Using the haggis kind of like mince?

Also - someone seemed surprised by BBQ pizzas.  Not sure why, as my favourite pizza from Pizza Hut in the States was their BBQ pizza.  Don't think it's uniquely "strange" to the UK...?
