One pizza I accidently tried had ranch dressing instead of tomato sauce. :poop:

Back in an earlier post a comment that didn't like Biscuits and Gravy. My memories were that a biscuit would be placed on the plate the soft( inside) biscuit up so could soak as much of the gravy as possible. The red-eye gravy from grease-cooked when frying bacon. This became popular during the Depression when there was very little food to be had. it was filling and didn't need experience in cooking.

Also, remember when a cattleman who was tighter than a bowstring was hiring to help the branding of his cattle.
Needing to go to town and took a helper to get some supplies. the cook requested loaves of light bread to help with the meal a upon returning the helper realized the rancher had not bought the loaves of bread requested by the cook. Rancher stopped at the store and bought a sack of flour. and then commented the cook could make the bread as light as he wanted.

Also in the mid-'50s Microwave towers were being installed on top of buildings. Downtown St. Louis at lunchtime took the elevator to the street level and walked 1/2 block to a small food place went in. The waitress was mopping the floor and asked what we wanted for our meal. Holding the mop wet hands and looked disheveled in appearance. the person with me requested she wash her hands and sell a can of soup .he would open it outside. she did think it was a Cream of chicken.

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider "Crazy ingredients?"
I like anchovies but I don't consider them "Crazy ingredients." :ROFLMAO:

There is/was a pizza place near where we lived in the city. Forgot the name, but they had a huge list of ingredients you could put on a pizza, both for dinner and desert pizza.

A group of us from work went to this pizza place for dinner. One of the guys was from India and he ordered a pizza with Rattlesnake, yes, that was not a typeo, and chocolate chips. 🤔:eek::ROFLMAO: We did ask if he was SURE he wanted Rattlesnake and chocolate chips. He said yes. The waitress ask if he was SURE if he wanted Rattlesnake and chocolate chips. He said yes. :unsure: o_O :ROFLMAO:

We all were given our pizzas but it took forever for him to get his Rattlesnake and Chocolate Pizza Pie. I swear they went out in the woods to catch, kill and clean the rattlesnake. :ROFLMAO:

I would have tried it except of the chocolate chips...

For the record, he did not like his Rattlesnake and Chocolate Pizza Pie. :eek: I know everyone is shocked and surprised that Rattlesnake and chocolate does not go together. :ROFLMAO:

There used to be a good, family pizza place I used to visit. The owner was a woman who was a bit out there. She kept garlic hanging around the doors to keep away the vampires and I kid ye not. She kept something really weird in the freezer to keep away werewolves but I can't remember what it was. She was different that is for sure but she had great pizza. I really miss the taco pizza she would make. It had ground hamburger, onions, spices and sauce to which she added lettuce and tomatoes when the pizza was cooked. I don't think I have ever found another place with a taco pizza.

Later,

Your mention of Naples reminds me of a thicker cheesier pizza that Pizza Hutt carried for several months possibly thirty years ago. The name might have been Napolo all I can remember is that it sounded like a place in Italy. If Pizza Hut ever brought them back, I missed it.
Too many decades ago, I worked with a young, thin guy, well, we were all young back then and maybe thinner. :unsure: :ROFLMAO:

Anyway, this guy would eat at Pizza Hut almost every day. Sometimes for dinner and lunch. :eek: I like pizza, and I suppose I could eat pizza every day if the pizza was different, but he would eat the Meat Lovers Pizza every, single trip to Pizza Hut. No way could I eat a Meat Lovers Pizza every day.

Lost touch with him decades ago. I can't imagine he is still alive if he kept up that diet.

Chocolate chips go good on a lot of things. Two things they shouldn’t be on though, are pizza and pancakes.

Rattlesnake might be ok… if there was enough sauce, mushrooms, green peppers, onions and Hamburg so that I didn’t know I was eating rattlesnake.

And thank you for answering my question. 👍

Not pizza, but a place we used to stop at on the way to Bar Harbor used to make a great pepperoni sub. It was sliced pepperoni built with tomato sauce and cheese, just as you would a meatball sandwich. I’ve tried many times since then to get somebody to make one, but nobody has been able to match it.
Rather odd, considering that I won’t generally eat pizza if it has pepperoni on it. I’ve had too much over the years.

I was thinking the same thing.
