Frivolous poll while we're waiting for snow: What's worse, pizza edition

[dbostedo]

Ranch dressing is disgusting in any form. Pineapple on pizza can be good. Why is this even a question?

 

[Tricia]

I live in a world of Ranch dressing and never heard of using in on pizza until I moved to Tahoe.

Believe me when I say, I make homemade ranch and friends who never liked ranch like mine. I like it on salads and wings, but I absolutely hate any form of commercial ranch dressing ever produced.

*probably because my Ranch is made with mayo not Miracle Whip.....

 

[Marker]

Pineapple is fine on a spicy pizza, but I mean spicy!

Not for me, but I guess I can understand ranch with buffalo chicken pizza.

I'm pretty sure I'd hate it.

That's not an open mind....just saying.

I've tried ranch several times... I do keep trying things I don't like, since every now and then it changes... but so far, ranch hasn't taken. Neither have olives, or mustard, or a bunch a other stuff. Guacamole has won me over however.

There's a lot of hate for the Hawaiian pizza...we heard it up here because apparently it was a Canadian thing... ??

 

[graham418]

Neither. I love Hawaiian pizza and dipping pizza in ranch is delicious. Never tried either til I moved to Cali. I now enjoy it in New England.

Seriously? On pizza? And I was starting to think you were such a nice girl!

 

[Sibhusky]

I like ranch on BLT pizza, not other kinds. Pineapple? Never!!!

 

[KingGrump]

BLT pizza? Lettuce & tomato? That's not a pizza. That is a salad.

 

[VickieH]

BLT pizza, buffalo chicken pizza with ranch, Canadian bacon and dill pickle pizza ... they're open-faced sandwiches.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and we had more hamburgers than buns. We'd cut the hamburger and put it on a hot dog roll. That did not make it a hot dog.

I am a nice girl....... Who just happens to like Hawaiian pizza and ranch dressing

 

[noncrazycanuck]

try ordering that in Naples, if they don't throw you out you will just be ignored.

Pizza in Italy could use a bit of an up date but don't ever say that.

 

[Jwrags]

Never heard of ranch dressing and pizza and it sounds disgusting. Pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. The only fruit that should be on pizza is tomatoes.

 

[surfsnowgirl]

I like to eat /drink like the locals do when I travel internationally. My Cali style of pizza eating doesn't travel with me, just my passport.

That said Naples isn't on my travel list.

 

[surfsnowgirl]

Mmmmmm salad pizza..... I'd never say something on pizza is disgusting. Take anchovies, not my thing but to each their own.

you should look into it -great region that coast is possibly the most gorgeous area of Italy, highly recommend it.

Discovering the anchovies on pizza was fish was a major disappointment to my British vegetarian friends. They always wished they had never known.

YES!!!! to both quotes.

The best way to eat ranch on pizza is to have it drizzled on AFTER you cook it. Buffalo chicken or chicken bacon pizza with a drizzle of ranch dressing on top....yum.

And....for all those that are shaming heated ranch on pizza. Have you ever cooked with mayo? It's the same thing, but with a bunch of spices to drown out the mayo flavor.

Now that's odd. What did they think they were?

Note to self, scrap ranch dressing on xmas list. Substitute a half gallon of creamy "blue cheese" dressing for dbostedo instead. .



If you like ranch, that might make sense on it
With pizza, I think a line should at least be drawn with if it can't stand the heat of the oven, it should be a garnish or left off.
Meg Ryan would never call that arugula on the pizza a garnish.


I first had pineapple on pizza in Boulder in the early 90's. As I recsll there was a place that made half baked pizzas that were frozen and you baked it at home. Had mandarin oranges on it too. It was very good.
