What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class…
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.
What do you think?
Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.
I’ve had pizza with mozzarella, lemon, olive oil, and arugula on it. So good.

lemon peel (maybe even yuzu peel) could work quite well shaved over the crust
Not a fruit i know, but if you like pineapple on pizza you might also like pickled onions on pizza
In Home Ec we made a fruit pizza, with a sweet crust… and it was amazing. Kind of a bit more like actual pie than pizza. Wish I had the recipe, unfortunately the teacher died a couple decades ago.
Sounds like a job for a necromancer
Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I’ve ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I’m surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I’d bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.
I’ve had a BBQ pulled pork pizza w/ applesauce on the side for dipping and it was amazing. Too bad that place closed.
The spicy Cajun bread sticks they had were great, too. Especially as a broke student because they were like $2 and practically a solid pound of filling carbs.
Olives
Peach. I have eaten a chicken and peach pizza once.
Dates
Cheese
Which reminds me I need to tend to my cheese tree.
Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. Freezy trees made these trees’ cheese freeze. That’s what made these three free fleas sneeze.

Pepperoni.
is that a fruit?
Technically, it can be, depending on the type of pepperoni.
In parts of Europe, such as Germany, a pepperoni is a pickled pepper, not the salami named after it.
(And peppers are fruits of a capsicum plant.)
pepperonis are paprika, wouldn’t that make it a vegetable? i think OP is aiming at a more common definition of fruit
Peppers are the fruit of the plant. They’re what’s made after the flowers were pollinated and have seeds. They’re also sometimes sweet and not always so spicy.
Of course, there’s the botanical definition and culinary definition and there’s some overlap. The most famous would be a tomato, which is also a fruit and a vegetable from different points of view.
What’s mind-blowing to think about is that a pepper is not just a fruit but also technically a berry.
In cooking, peppers are used as a fruit, a vegetable, and even a spice. (Depending on the pepper variety.) So, anyone classifying it as any of those things is right. 👍
(Wikipedia mentions all this too.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper
it might be the fruit of the plant, but peppers are botanically speaking vegetables, and more closely related to tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants, than apples and oranges. OP is asking for fruits other than pineapple to put on a pizza, not how far the definition of what a fruit is can be stretched. you might be partly correct, but not in the context of what this thread is about.
What are you, a cop?!
Oh… The classic… Strawberries & minced beef!
I had Hawaiian with kiwi! It was good
They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it’s pretty good!
Sounds intriguing
Durian is amazing.
My nose says fuck you
The tomato.
That’s about it.
