What do you think of anchovy pizza?

Question

I've never tried it, but am curious. Looking for opinions out there. Is it fishy? Gross? Yummy? I know they're salty, but what else? Why are they good? Recommend any other toppings on this pizza? Thanks!

Answer 1

nope. don't like it. i think it just doesn't go with pizza, but some people like it, maybe.

Answer 2

It's very common in the south of France where I grew up. You could say it's an acquired taste and I am not surprised a lot of people in America dislike it since it's not a wide spread topping here. However, if you were born in the South of France, there is a much higher chance you would like it. The pizza like dish I am speaking of is the Pissaladière and is made with onions and black olives as well. You can check it out on wikipedia at the link below. I personally think it's very tasty.

Answer 3

It is an acquired taste. Some people like it and some don't.I remember the time that I agreed to buy pizza for friends. I thought I was gonna be smart and order them on a pizza. Wrong thing to do. No one ate them. You can't go wrong feeding kids with a thin crust cheese pizza. Me I like hamburger and pineapple and mushrooms with jalapenos.

Answer 4

Don't care for them but, cashews and artichoke hearts taste pretty yummy!

Answer 5

Doesn't sound good.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Thanks for the image you gave me,.... NOT!

Answer 10

Short answer:  It's too salty for me.

I like cheese and pepperoni on my Pizza Pies.  If I am kinda craving salt, then I'll order green olives also.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

I think that is so gross. But hey, everyone has different tastes in food.

Answer 14

I've never tried it also! I don't like the idea of salty fish on my pizza! That's gross!

Answer 15

My mom loves anchovies in her pizza, and personally I don't like them. They give a salty taste and I don't exactly yearn for fish in my pizza. I love beef pizzas, like pepperoni or just chunks of beef with green peppers and black olives.

Answer 16

You know, I don't think I've ever had anchovies baked directly on my pizza, but I've eaten my pizza with anchovies and I love! I just love anchovies. Yummy with salad too! If you don't like anchovies, you may not like it on the pizza.

Answer 20

Answer 21

honesty its yummy i also have tried spaghetti with anchovy it was so great

Answer 22

I like anchovies in general.  They are salty but that's what I love about them (I'm the type of person that eats the salt at the bottom of a pretzel bag haha)  On pizza they are still salty but they get soft and yummy and mixed with the pizza sauce they taste really good.  I love anchovies on a salad, with olive and vinegar and blue cheese crumbles. Good stuff!!  But my all time favorite toppings for pizza are red onions and mushrooms!!!  Yummmm.   If you want to know how anchovies are going to taste on pizza, maybe I suggest, making yourself a small pizza bagel or pizza english muffin at home with a jar of sauce and 1 anchovy on top and see how you like it before you go and order a whole pie.   Cut bagel or english muffin in 1/2, add sauce, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella and add 1 flat anchovy on top and bake til hot and bubbly.  Hope you like it!!!
