Jared Willig from Asylum did a cheesy segment on the Today Show sharing pizzas from around the world. They titled it the World’s Weirdest Pizzas, but I say weird is in the eye of the beholder. My husband lived in Okinawa for a few years and said that he had a few of these. Personally I think that you can get away with a lot of different types of pizzas. The dough is just a blank canvas for whatever your heart desires and with Americans eating 46 slices or 23 lbs. of pizza a year, trying something a little different just might be a little fun.
Japan has a squid ink pizza, Nino Bellissima has created the most expensive pizza in the world–a $1000 for lobster, creme fraiche and 6 types of caviar. Iron Chef Morimoto has a Tuna Tartar pizza at his restaurant and then Max Brenner (the Chocolate Man in NYC) has created a smores pizza…yum.
Read more including a grape and pickle pizza with port wine and Gorgonzola cheese…hey, it actually looks tasty.
Admittedly, the “edgiest” pizza I ever ate had kalamata olives and eggplant. Have you ever tried what many may consider as a “weird” pizza?
