For many of us, pizza is a sacred food. We love it often, and we love it pure. While there are different types of pizza purists -- like those who will only eat the thinnest of crusts -- we on the other hand are open to a bit of experimentation when it comes to our pizza. We tried fried pizza and loved it. We even made mac and cheese stuffed crust pizza and were kind of into it. But at some point, we have to draw the line. Because after all, we can't let a bad thing happen to something as great and totally awesome as pizza.
When we see bad toppings on pizza, it's like a knife to the heart. Why would someone ruin such a good thing?! -- especially when it was so close to being great. We understand that everyone has different tastes, but there are some flavors that pizza should never mix with (like the toppings listed below).
Please, just don't put these toppings on your pizza. Ever.
