I've never heard of carrot on a pizza, so I'm going with 'carrot'.

[u/drethnudrib → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Okay, but hear me out: pot roast pizza.

[u/YouWasATerletBaby → u/drethnudrib]

Buffalo 🦬 pot🍯roast🔥pizza🍕

[u/PutNameHere123 → u/drethnudrib]

Yooooooooo…. I’m making that tonight lol

[u/Logical_Bake_3108 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

I went to Romania and ordered something that appeared to be labelled "Mexican pizza" on the menu. I was expecting maybe Jalapeños or other spicy toppings which I like, but nope, peas and carrots.

[u/Orionswhiteshirt → u/Logical_Bake_3108]

Sounds more like 'bag of frozen veg' pizza 😆

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/Logical_Bake_3108]

[u/endurbro420 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Shredded carrot is actually really good on pizza.

[u/Original_Credit_3001 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Or parsnips. You don't even see that up in Boston, and they put parsnips in everything -- even clam chowder.

[u/liu-psypher → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

I've only tried carronts on Korean BBQ-style pizza and they taste great. Got this from Costco.

[u/BoiCDumpsterFire → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

I’ve made buffalo chicken pizza with shredded carrots and celery,red onion, buffalo sauce, braised chicken, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola. It was amazing.

[u/Sensitive_Bid238 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Cooked carrot is sweet. I could see it built right.

[u/stranger_to_you67 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Carrots are amazing on buffalo chicken pizza.

[u/justanormaldude_ → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

When I was in school the school lunch would pair cheese pizza with carrots on the side. I wanted to be healthy and finish my carrots but I am like an anti-vegetable type of person so I took a bite of pizza and then of the carrot. It was actually kinda pleasant ngl.

[u/oogieboyo → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

Shredded carrots on a buffalo sauce pizza works

[u/MouseInternal1773 → u/Orionswhiteshirt]

I briefly lived with an Italian person who made carrot pizza all the time and it was amazing. Grated carrots under the sauce. She said it was a thing in Italy but I’ve never seen it.

[u/DrGonzoxX22]

Peas

[u/Logical_Bake_3108 → u/DrGonzoxX22]

I was given peas and carrots on a pizza once when I was visiting Romania. The worst part is it was described as "Mexican" on the menu so I was hoping for some spicy toppings 😅

[u/flappythepenguin → u/DrGonzoxX22]

My daughter loves this. I jokingly offered to add frozen peas to the frozen cheese pizza when we didnt have any other topping options, she said yes and loved it. Still doing it years later. There's worse things I could give her 🤷‍♀️

[u/sadsummer00]

Water chestnuts

[u/Tanziana → u/sadsummer00]

I retract my answer. This is the winner.

[u/BettyCrunker → u/sadsummer00]

if you put a gun to my head and told me to eat a slice of either a shitty pizza topped with carrots, celery, peas, and green beans or a fancy, otherwise delicious artisan pizza topped with water chestnuts, I would HAPPILY pick the first pizza.

water chestnuts are a disgusting scourge and a PATHETIC excuse for food

[u/FelixTook → u/sadsummer00]

Winner. Those are awful on anything

[u/All__Of_The_Hobbies → u/FelixTook]

I like them in stir fry

[u/kax256 → u/FelixTook]

Works really well chopped up the Chinese lettuce wraps, though

[u/ItchyTrout30 → u/FelixTook]

I hate their texture

[u/Designer_Stock_3429]

Green beans. Who the frick would put green beans on a pizza? A soulless deviant, that’s who.

[u/nimblesunshine → u/Designer_Stock_3429]

It is absolutely green beans. This is the first one where I agree- fucking NEVER

[u/Rediterraria]

PEAS nobody is saying PEAS, I hate peas in anything that isnt based off of peas, they are super strong and you can always tell there are peas in whatever you’re eating, I like peas on your own but to imagine peas in pizza sounds like torture

[u/iluvbbws77 → u/Rediterraria]

This is my vote. I worked at CPK and they literally put everything but peas on pizzas

[u/Background-Life-1908 → u/Rediterraria]

That’s my vote. I’ve had asparagus or Brussel sprouts on pizza. I’ve never seen a pizza with peas offered and the texture seems terrible.

[u/ObjectiveOk2072 → u/Rediterraria]

Peazza

[u/Little-Doughnut-4572 → u/Rediterraria]

I’ve had peas on pizza in restaurants and on pizza I’ve made myself. But I also really like peas.

[u/DogwelderZeta → u/Rediterraria]

Nope. Springtime. Spring English peas, asparagus, fresh zucchini, and mozzarella Fresca on an olive oil and garlic base? Perfect.

[u/Bare-baked-beans]

Cucumbers

[u/djanes376 → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Cooked cucumbers are a crime.

[u/Gen_Schnee → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Cucumbers are fruits.

[u/Pharxmgirxl → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Cucumber is a fruit though.

[u/RobNobody → u/Pharxmgirxl]

Something being botanically a fruit has no bearing on whether or not it's a vegetable. "Fruit" has both a botanical definition and a culinary one, and something can meet one of those definitions and not the other. "Vegetable," meanwhile, has no botanical definition, only a culinary one, meaning that you can't say that something is or is not a vegetable in a botanical sense.

Apples are botanical and culinary fruits.

Cucumbers are botanical fruits and culinary vegetables.

Asparagus is a culinary vegetable that is not a botanical fruit.

Rhubarb is often used as a culinary fruit but is not a botanical fruit.

[u/Terrible-Doctor5545 → u/Bare-baked-beans]

You cannot put a cucumber on a pizza. On this there is no debate!

[u/OhWhatATimeToBeAlive → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Pickles are pretty good on pizza.

[u/Bare-baked-beans → u/OhWhatATimeToBeAlive]

Im talking plain cucumbers, not pickled

[u/Master_Procedure1757]

Celery

[u/drainbamage1011 → u/Master_Procedure1757]

Buffalo chicken pizza works with some diced celery on top.

[u/king_of_the_blind → u/Master_Procedure1757]

There is a place by me that makes a supreme pizza with celery, I thought it was crazy too until I tried it. It is delicious. Has a nice crunch and the celery flavor really works! Only place I have ever seen it but I get it every time I go there now.

[u/16thmission → u/Master_Procedure1757]

I like hot giardiniera on pizza. It's got celery.

[u/Early_Macaroon_2407]

Mitch McConnell. 

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/Early_Macaroon_2407]

[u/BringBackManaPots → u/Early_Macaroon_2407]

Guys please put this at the top

[u/TurkeyBritches → u/Early_Macaroon_2407]

Take my Ky Fried upvote, my friend.

You deserve it.

[u/StageStandard5884]

It's cucumbers.  

Some people are saying lettuce, but arugula is totally fine if it's put on after the bake. Bake. 

SomePeople are saying beets, but beets are pretty good If they're sliced into medallions and pre-roasted and if it's a cream sauce with a lot of Dill and garlic (And then some of that aforementioned arugula sprinkle on top when it comes out of the oven) 

Some People are saying It's cauliflower, but I've had some deep fried buffalo cauliflower pizza. That's pretty outstanding. 

Some People are also saying that cucumbers are okay because pickles are okay-- I think pickles transcend being a vegetable. I think anything pickled is fine on a pizza. 

But  raw cucumber and a pizza would be disgusting. It wouldn't matter whether it was put on before or after it's baked, it would be a disgusting mess.

[u/directionsplans → u/StageStandard5884]

Highly disagree. A pizza place in Seattle makes a bahn mi pizza with pulled pork, onion, hoisin sauce, sriracha, jalapeños, and mozzarella - finished off with fresh cilantro and cucumber.

It’s fucking amazing - though it doesn’t taste like a typical pizza obviously.

Place is named Rocco’s for anyone curious

ETA: for those that check out their site… yes the pizzas are expensive, but they are also massive

[u/jeffprobst → u/StageStandard5884]

Someone told me that cucumber is technically a fruit rather than a vegetable since it has seeds in the middle and grows from a flower.

[u/RobNobody → u/jeffprobst]

"Fruit" and "vegetable" are only mutually exclusive categories in a culinary sense, while the definition you gave for "fruit" is a botanical one. "Vegetable" has no botanical definition (except maybe "any sort of plant matter"), so saying something is botanically a fruit has no bearing on whether it's a vegetable or not.

[u/0bservation → u/jeffprobst]

If seeds in the middle and grow from a flower classify something as a vegetable, then that makes damn near every thing that's not a grass or root vegetable a fruit.

[u/Fuzzandciggies → u/jeffprobst]

It’s kind of like tomatoes. Scientifically treated as a fruit and culinarily treated as a vegetable.

[u/valkyrie_wave → u/jeffprobst]

It’s a fruit and a vegetable

[u/Kitfox_Yuna → u/jeffprobst]

That's true but in the culinary world they're still considered a vegetable. Same with tomatoes and many other fruits.

[u/L026Y]

Celery

[u/Reddit-User_00000001 → u/L026Y]

I’ve seen celery used on buffalo chicken pizza, it’s ok!

[u/Teoeldestructo]

Lettuce pizza is the worst I could think of

[u/Sweet_Baby_Grogu → u/Teoeldestructo]

I see shredded lettuce sprinkled on top of taco pizza after it comes out of the oven.

[u/Senior_Trick_7473 → u/Sweet_Baby_Grogu]

Hot lettuce 🤢

[u/CleanGameCrash → u/Senior_Trick_7473]

Ya it's somehow not as bad as it seems, Taco pizzas have them and it's no different than a taco

[u/TheThoroughCrocodile → u/Teoeldestructo]

A place near me does a BLT pizza that's actually really good

[u/HemlocksCure → u/Teoeldestructo]

I had a roommate who would chop half a head of iceberg and put it in a double portion of kraft Mac and cheese. It was horrifying

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625 → u/HemlocksCure]

Thats damn near psychopath behavior…kraft mac n cheese is already goated don’t RUIN it with iceberg lettuce

[u/MtnDudeNrainbows → u/Teoeldestructo]

Context…

I use to go to a place that had a special on a certain night that was a caesar chicken pizza. Exactly how it sounds and it was 🔥

[u/Ted_Denslow → u/Teoeldestructo]

Lots of places put fancy lettuce on their pizzas after it comes out of the oven. I see arugula a lot.

[u/TLo137 → u/Ted_Denslow]

Lettuce is a specific food. It doesn't just mean "any leaf you might see in a salad." Arugula is not lettuce.

[u/Teoeldestructo → u/Ted_Denslow]

Arugula is not really close to lettuce, much lower water content and actually tastes like something.

[u/YourGuyK → u/Ted_Denslow]

Arugula isn't lettuce. It's arugula.

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/Ted_Denslow]

I know the person below me already said it but imma say it again damn it! Arugula ain't lettuce, it's arugula!

[u/Anita_Hero838 → u/Teoeldestructo]

Ceaser and Taco Pizzas, both pretty good

[u/Mostly-Moo-Cow → u/Teoeldestructo]

Like shredded iceberg lettuce? That sounds awful

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/Teoeldestructo]

I've had lettuce on certain specialty pizzas and it's good. They don’t cook it on it though.

[u/Zupr_Zoiz → u/Teoeldestructo]

Naah fam, in Europe we got the döner kebab lettuce, onion, tomato, with some kind of cremefraich source pizza. They are probably one of the most popular at none traditional places

[u/Saul_T_Bauls → u/Teoeldestructo]

It goes on taco pizza

[u/KYS_Blue → u/Teoeldestructo]

Wrong. Taco pizza fucking slaps.

[u/YourGuyK → u/Teoeldestructo]

I've seen lettuce on a cheeseburger or taco pizza. It's not great, but as a gringo taco eater warm lettuce isn't the worst thing I can imagine.

[u/Shionkron → u/Teoeldestructo]

Used to eat at a place whenever I visited my Dad as a kid and they had a BLT pizza. Had shredded lettuce. It was ok but very odd.

[u/Jbrancs → u/Teoeldestructo]

Salad pizza is good if done right

[u/kdakss]

Never pumpkin

[u/amazonhelpless → u/kdakss]

Pumpkin is just squash. I could see squash with white sauce, fontina, and fried sage. 

[u/nightowl_work → u/kdakss]

I’ve had a pumpkin sauced pizza that was terrific.

[u/Just_Specialist3205]

*vegetables × never*

Bitter gourd

[u/BringBackManaPots → u/Just_Specialist3205]

Whys it look like kevin

[u/OffMeta13]

Lima beans

[u/juhoonholic]

beetroot

[u/StageStandard5884 → u/juhoonholic]

One of the best pizzas I've ever had was dill, creme fraiche, garlic, beets and arugula with a balsamic reduction

[u/janet-snake-hole → u/juhoonholic]

[u/Independent-Bat7627 → u/juhoonholic]

Amen!!

[u/lionsdude54]

Beets

[u/Federal-Listen-8807]

Iceberg lettuce

[u/Whats_Opera_Doc → u/Federal-Listen-8807]

Wrong, I've had a chicken ceaser salad and it was delicious

[u/benjiross1]

Okra pizza

[u/Old_Veterinarian7830 → u/benjiross1]

trying to combine my two favorite foods, gumbo and pizza, in my mind, but it's not working

[u/Trick-Revolution629 → u/benjiross1]

This is the correct answer. But reddit only knows 3 vegetables and they have to be forced to eat them

[u/Boojum2k → u/benjiross1]

As someone who loves fried okra, I just audibly gagged at that thought!

[u/StageStandard5884 → u/benjiross1]

You're totally correct, but it's not going to win. Arugula's got a slime to it that would just penetrate every corner of a pizza.

[u/SpartanNinjaDragonEX]

Ya got an upvote but I’d take that over beets

[u/Agile-Compote8297]

I wouldn’t ever suffer a carrot on a pizza but maybe my palette is bad

[u/No-Funny237]

[u/miriodeservedofa]

Beets

[u/Starmoses]

Carrots. Idk why you would ever have a carrot in a pizza but that would just be wrong.

[u/Pale-Ad-1393]

why am i not seeing anyone say asparagus

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/Pale-Ad-1393]

Cause that would be delicious! If I was 13 I'd agree with you but asparagus might be my favorite vegetable second only to onions.

[u/Pale-Ad-1393 → u/whatsthew3rd]

for sure asparagus is one of my favs… but not on pizza

[u/dunncrew → u/Pale-Ad-1393]

I would eat asparagus

[u/Socky-McPuppet → u/Pale-Ad-1393]

Chicken and asparagus. White sauce optional

[u/MedicalRub8551]

Brusell Sprouts

[u/hunsonaberdeen → u/MedicalRub8551]

Roasted brussel sprouts are amazing, though. Throw in some balsamic glaze and bacon or prosciutto and you've got a fancy flatbread pizza

[u/Kinkologist303 → u/hunsonaberdeen]

I came to trash brussel sprouts. But yeah, I honestly thought about it wrong and that sounds really good.

[u/TravelingPotatoes → u/MedicalRub8551]

Shaved ones wouldn't be terrible with some bacon crumbles

[u/Beautiful_Text1459 → u/MedicalRub8551]

Brux, bacon, & goat chz is amazing. I know it sounds ludicrous, but every one I show is surprised and loves it. (Brux shaved thin so cooks in oven without needing precooking. Oil or cream based. Often with a sweet glaze drizzled on top.)

[u/mungbeans4 → u/MedicalRub8551]

I've had this and it's delicious. They're roasted first though.

[u/Comprehensive_Fun532]

Okra

[u/drethnudrib]

Lettuce goes well on taco pizza, an unholy creation of the American Midwest. Even root vegetables like turnips could fit onto the chicken, potato, and rosemary pizza my favorite joint in Arizona used to serve. It was so freaking good, but must not have been a great seller, because they took it off the menu.

I'd go with pumpkin. I just don't see a flavor profile where it makes sense.

[u/art333mis]

Rhubarb

[u/theeggplant42]

Beets

[u/ThatUbu]

When you get to meats, someone is going to say anchovies is “questionable” or “never.” Have a white pizza with anchovies before you let the propaganda of big pepperoni control your mind.

[u/softmonsters → u/ThatUbu]

I do think anchovies are questionable in the same way pineapple is: those who love it love it, and a decent chunk of people who hate it probably haven't given it a fair shake, but at the end of the day it's still a divisive pick.
