Question

Do anchovies really taste bad on pizza, or is that a stereotype?

Answer 1

My aunt always order it on the side

Answer 2

Stereotype - just like brussel sprouts, sardines and liver. It's also a matter of personal preference. For me, anchovies is a little too salty as a pizza topping. I prefer anchovies on puttanesca

Answer 3

I have only tried it once....on a date, no less!   Took a bite, eyes teared up trying not to spit it out.   My experience was a 'squish' in the mouth when I bit down.   So for me it was not a good experience.   However, there are many other recipes that I do like them in....they tend to melt when cooked correctly.

Answer 4

nope that it makes the pizza a little salter but with the right veggies it very good. A taste you must get use to...

You have to least try it...

Answer 5

taste is very subjective.

personally, I do not like the taste of anchovies, on pizza or otherwise

Answer 6

Stereotype. The only thing is they are extremely salty, which mellows as they cook.

Answer 7

Oh my gosh!  I craved anchovies on pizza so much when I was pregnant and they taste great.  They are very salty. You may want to rinse them before putting them on a pizza if you don't want a lot of salt.   Add some green olives and anchovies to a thin crust pizza and you have the most delicious pizza ever!  Yum!

Enjoy!

Answer 8

no anchovies are yummy on pizza!  they melt in your mouth.

Answer 9

Don't ever marry someone who likes anchovies on her pizza.

Answer 10

They don't taste bad to people who like them, but although I love them in Caesar Salad dressing, I hate them on pizza.
