As a kid, I loved watching the '90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. Who didn't? One of the things that stuck was all the ridiculous pizzas Michelangelo and his brothers would order throughout the series. As the years passed, I started to think some of those pizzas could actually be pretty delicious if done right. Though it did take a solid 22 years for anchovies to grow on me.
Like his Renaissance namesake, who would have thought Mikey was ahead of his time. Using some hunger-fueled imagination Foodbeast recreated 24 of the most disgusting pizza orders from the TV show and turned them into something you could order at a restaurant. Cowabunga.
__________
Tuna ahi poke on top of a bed of seaweed salad and drizzled some hot, melted peanut butter and grape jelly on top. Went more for color than taste. Ending up tasting great so that worked itself out.
__________
Drenched the pizza in a cajun peanut butter sauce with four fresh calms. The heat from the sauce really made the clams, no pun intended, pop. Crawfish for garnish.
__________
A bed of guacamole topped with avocado slices, melted peanut butter and some sweet dill pickle chips. This is actually a sandwich I make on many an occasion.
__________
Pepperoni and cheese pizza topped with roasted marshmallows. The marshmallows look like haunting little lifeboats on a sea of pepperoni.
__________
__________
A generous heap of freshly made guacamole and topped with a single marshmallow lit on fire. Kids, don't try this at home. Grownups, go nuts.
__________
Onion and anchovies caramelized in brown sugar and a butterscotch sauce. Tasted great but stunk up my kitchen like nobody's business. Do turtles have nostrils?
__________
A buttered slice of toast on top of tomato sauce and sprinkled with tea leaves, parmesan cheese and more tomato sauce. The original concept for this had chunks of toast drenched in tea. NOT. APPETIZING.
__________
A cheese pizza made with a hearty clam sauce and chocolate sprinkles and garnished with green onions. Not easy to make clam sauce pop on a pizza. Had to tweak it into a chowder. Master Splinter would be proud.
__________
Chocolate chips baked into the pizza and drenched with a generous amount of hot fudge. It's essentially a cookie.
__________
A generous amount of fried garlic on top of a pool of melted chocolate fudge. Definitely not something you'd order on a first date, but then again, are any of these pizzas?
__________
A cheese and whipped cream pizza topped with shaved chocolate fudge and red chili flakes. Served with a fried sardine filet in chocolate fudge sauce. Any nutrients that piece of sardine contains is neutralized by that mountain of whipped cream. I guarantee it.
__________
Hot chocolate fudge drizzled over anchovy filets on a sauceless white pizza. Until the day anchovies turn into giant mutated fish that eat people, they'll forever be my favorite fish.
__________
A classic pepperoni and cheese pizza drizzled with a little chocolate fudge. Just a little. We're not animals.
___________
Cheese and pepperoni pizza with sweet dill pickle chips. The pickles add a crunch that can be heard all through the New York sewer systems.
