Indulgent Pizza Toppings That Sound Unconventional Yet Irresistibly Delicious
From classic Margherita to exotic BBQ chicken, there's a pizza to suit every palate and preference.
Some pizza toppings are normal, like pepperoni or mushrooms, and then there’s the kind of lineup that makes you stare at the menu like it’s speaking in riddles. One minute you’re thinking “taco on pizza,” the next you’re picturing balsamic strawberries, charred corn with avocado, or a blueberry and ricotta situation that sounds like dessert but hits like dinner.
And it does not stop there. The same list drops sourdough breakfast pizza, buffalo chicken pizza sticks, fried chicken pizza, and even a grilled grape and soppressata combo, which is the food equivalent of showing up to a party in a tuxedo and flip-flops.
So yeah, this is not boring pizza, it’s a full-on topping takeover.
Pizza is perfect, but it can be even better...

That’s when the Taco Quesadilla Pizza and Balsamic Strawberry Pizza start sounding less like a dare and more like a plan.
Right after the Loaded Baked Potato Pizza and Mac N’ Cheese Pizza, the list gets bold, with Berry with Arugula and Prosciutto and a Sourdough Breakfast Pizza that refuses to pick a lane.
Then the record story crashes the party, because while people are debating Buffalo Chicken Pizza Sticks and Blueberry and Ricotta, “Ottavia” is out here taking 48 hours to make.
After Snow Crab Pizza, Spring Pizza, and Squid Pizza with Saffron Aioli, you’re basically one topping away from your own monumental pizza moment.
The pizza measured an impressive 1,261.65 square meters (13,580.28 square feet) and was named "Ottavia" after the first Roman emperor, Octavian Augustus. It took 48 hours to prepare and was cooked using a traditional wood-fired oven. This massive pizza delighted spectators and set a deliciously monumental record in the world of pizza-making.
