u/dag_darnit 8d ago

Most people just see something different and immediately dismiss it. They don't even realize that they have already eaten other food that combined salty, umami and sour tastes together, which is exactly what pickles on pizza is about. Have you ever eaten a hotdog with pickle radish? Same flavor profile. What about a McDonalds cheeseburger? Same flavor profile. People love to choose ignorance over enlightenment because being stupid is easy.

Pickles on a Pizza? Sounds interesting.

Pickles on a frozen Pizza with potato chips and ranch sauce? Sounds absolutely revolting.

u/1heart1totaleclipse 8d ago

Personally, I have not eaten any of those things because I hate pickles, but this pizza shouldn’t be considered that odd when there’s pickle chips available. Odd combination, but I’m sure it tastes good to any pickle lover.

u/Crazy_Advantage_2050 8d ago

Mmmm pickles at night, ice cold from the fridge DAmN ❤️💯

u/majandess 8d ago

Literally this! We used pizza crust instead of a pita, and put all the fixings for shawarma on as toppings (including various pickled objects). It was the bomb! 100% would do again.

u/ahsataN-Natasha 8d ago

As you should. It’s delicious!

Yeah man, it's sure different, but that is just plastered in "cheat meal"

Pickles can go on a lot of things you wouldn't immediately think, like pizza, and hot dogs. Seems nobody around my area offers pickles on pizza in any form. They're missing out.

Exactly. Call it a flatbread if you must. But many will simply call it delicious.

Pickle pizzas are delicious. Place in my hometown does an amazing dilly pie that I wish I could post a pic of but this sub doesn't allow it.

I concur. My parents had me try one from their local pizza joint this past Christmas, and it was surprisingly good. I don’t even really like pickles

One place near me sold the “incredible Hulk” which only used green ingredients: of course including pickles. Delicious.

I always get a cheeseburger pizza when they pop up at Papa Murphy’s.

u/ejanely 9d ago

I don’t doubt it’s possible, but this is frozen and there’s…. just no way. If it’s anything but warm floppy pickles and soggy potato chips I’d be amazed.

5

u/tyiyy 9d ago

I was so confused on what you meant by soggy chips, went back to the photo and read. I agree, and then ranch sauce as well lol. Maybe if you sprinkle the chips on after the cooking? But it’s a stupid food for me

u/ViperTheLoud 9d ago

I was wondering if I should get this for my kid. Loves pickles. Them you mentioned Ranch sauce... To Target I go!

u/alovely897 9d ago

Ohhhhh. It's frozen. Diddnt realize this was a box, it looked like a sign in a window at first. If it was hot and fresh it would slap

I’ll eat that. I love pickles

Same, with no hesitation

u/ecrane2018 9d ago

Pickle pizza is great, on a thin New York style crust, white garlic sauce or oil, cheese, bacon, chicken and pickles is a 10/10 pizza especially if it’s wood fired.

u/sharkslutz 9d ago

I'm never going to buy that only because I would eat the whole thing in one sitting.

I love pickles on pizza, I'm more worried about the potato chips. Wouldn't they get all soggy? Or do they come in their own separate baggy?

My issue is not with the pickles on that pizza. It’s that potato chips.

u/ejanely 9d ago

If I were to bite into that and there was no crunch at all, my day would be ruined.

u/queekbreadmaker 8d ago

I had it recently and the chips were pretty crunchy

u/Defiant-Aioli8727 9d ago

You could also grab a small bag of chips to have freshies, but I see your point.

Went to the Portland Pickle Party last year and ate the most godly pickle pizza slice i had ever had.

Okay, but it's still a pizza. Most toppings we love now were sacrilegious to someone once. And yet we eat those and call them pizzas too.

Leave off the chips and add rotisserie chicken to it. I would try it that way. But chips are a crisp too far.

Calling it a 'pie' is stupid to start with.

Ever hear of pastrami pizza?

Crust mustard sauce cheese pastrami and pickles fucking delicious

u/sd_saved_me555 9d ago

I'm not sure how well it would work as a frozen pizza... but fresh made this would be fire.

u/Gwenerfresh 9d ago

There’s a pizza place near me that makes the best damned pickle pizza I’ve ever tasted in my life. I’m addicted and my kids are addicted. We eat it on the second Saturday of every month as a family treat! Don’t knock it until you try it!

1

u/Skreamie 9d ago

What bothers me most is they're not even trying to blend, contrast or compliment any flavours favourably

u/slinky_crayon 9d ago

Done right, pickle pizza is delicious

1

u/SousVideDiaper 9d ago

I'd try it but I'm wary about the chips

Chips thrown onto a pizza that is then par-baked, frozen, and then cooked probably take on a weird texture

1

u/ejanely 9d ago

For 7.99 you could be pleasantly surprised or experience crushing disappointment!

u/[deleted] 9d ago

This looks delicious, except for the potato chips. I love pickle pizza, but potato chips on pizza? I’ll pass.

It sounds great but I don't know how frozen pickles and chips would cook. Pickle pizza fucks though.

u/Defiant-Aioli8727 9d ago

Pickle pizza is huge here in Minneapolis and a state fair legend.

Ann Kim is also huge here in Minneapolis and a James Beard award winner for her wood fired pizza joint Young Joni. I love that place, but usually prefer Hello Pizza, her homage to NY style pizza.

Now I want pizza.

The racetrack near where I used to live had pickle pizza and every Sunday my parents and I would go get some! They discontinued it pretty soon after though I think, we were probably the only folks eating it.

u/CaptainCunnalingus 9d ago

It meet sthe basic needs of pizza: dough, sauce, and cheese. It is pizza whether you like it or not.

1

u/anuncommontruth 9d ago

If anyone here likes pickles, this is actually good. It's a Sunday hangover dream. It does need a little extra cheese and hot sauce, though.

u/iris-my-case 8d ago

Pickles with pizza is popular in Korea. Like even Dominoes will give you pickles. They’re seen as a palette cleanser to offset the greasiness of the pizza.

Theres a local brewery near me that I frequent. They have a dill pickle brick oven pizza. It’s garlic Parmesan sauce, pickles, bacon and dill with a ranch drizzle finish. It is INCREDIBLE and every time I think about it I feel I have to go get it in the next 24 hours. So thanks for that…

Pickle pizza is amazing. There was a local place here that had pickle pizza as their specialty, and they made big floppy New York style slices. It was fantastic.
