Just buy a cheese pizza and a jar of Italian anchovies.

they're too salty
That's WHY they last forever
even bacteria doesn't want the stuff

the one time i ordered it was from papa johns, dont' know if they still have it. the fishiness was fine, but they're just too salty, it's hard to eat

>>14914595
what if you pair them with pineapple?

>>14914595
lol that's something that confused me about those fish, anchovies they're an already salty fish I read the can, and they add salt WTF

>>14914588
All of them not fast food do.

>>14914648
Eww wtf man.

>>14914588
Go to a Pizza Factory. That's literally where your pic is from.

>>14914588
No pizza place would put that many on. You'd need maybe half of one fillet per slice

>>14914588
Because most people don't like anchovies. Hell, I don't mind anchovies, but I think they are fucking disgusting on pizza.

I worked at Jets Pizza and they offered them, that can would begrudgingly get taken out of the cooler like once a month, while the unlucky sap who was chosen to top it begloved thy hands and put those stinkers on the pizza and into the oven, only for the whole area to smell like a rancid infected vagina as it baked

>>14914588
Just take a pinch of salt and put it on your tongue. That's what it tastes like.

>>14914591
b-buy...cheese pizza?

>>14914683
It works mate.

>>14915078
>this is what sugar-addicted manbabies actually believe

>>14915076
its better when theyre not baked in the pizza just laid on top wet and cold

>>14914588
Why do they slice pizza when only one person is eating it?

>>14914588
As someone who eats all types of canned fish; anchovies are way too salty. Purée them into the sauce instead and don’t add salt to the pizza before baking

>>14915242
>Purée them into the sauce instead
I hate people who say this. The best thing about anchovies on pizza is that they're little flavor bombs, and you can decide how much you get in each bite depending on what angle you take.

>>14914588
because no sentient life form likes them.

>>14915221
why do people ask stupid questions?

>>14914588
there aren't anymore and there'll never be

>>14914588
i don't have an answer, but i think they're absurdly salty

there's no way i could power through that slice of pizza, i'm pretty sure i would vomit

instead of those anchovies, imagine visible pieces of salt that haven't completely dissolved, and that's how salty it is

>I want to try it really bad but it's not around. WHY? Anchovies last forever in a damn can
Any real Italian restaurant will have it. Just hard to get at a national chain where they have learned the hard way that seafood taints their countertops and gets everywhere, making bad smells in the air and slopping around in the mechanized feed tube to the ovens, etc. People who don't like anchovies would detect it in the air cooking into their pizza, or cross-contaminate into the bins for the non-fish flavors too.

Anchovies are fishy, but they are more salty than fishy. It's probably in a good tomato sauce, and dressing you already enjoy, from caesar to green goddess, to secret recipe marinara sauces, but on top of a pizza you'd likely only see 1-2 per slice, if not only 5-6 per pie or the cook has zero idea about balance. They're very salty and good cheese can be salty too, so it becomes too much, so they taper back in one of the toppings.

A new haven stype coal fired white clam pizza is better if you're interesting in a little seafood with your yummy garlic-cheesey-crusty mood. It's phenomenal. Skip the anchovies until really boozing it. A clam and bacon combo is even better.

>>14914595
If they are salty it means the place uses shit quality Anchovies.

If you actually buy fresh, or some decently priced ones they aren't salty at all, they are just a huge oohhmommy bomb.

>>14914588
>why don't pizza places stock a topping no one ever orders except on once in a blue moon dares?

>>14915751
What’s wrong with you man how many book ya ass read in school

>>14914588
american memes about them being the grossest thing since pineapple

>>14914648
i make fried rice with pineapple, the salt and sour complement well. i bet pineapple and salt fish would go just fine honestly

>>14915245
>muh FLAVUR BOMB'S haha
kys instagrammer

papa johns has em as a side item but not a topping.
used to get em from a local place before they closed. they diced em and went sparingly with it

>>14914588
Normies can't appreciate the fine taste of anchovies on a pizza. I keep a couple cans at home for just this reason.

>>14916934
Mine are in tiny jars. I think they taste better than canned.

>>14914676
>anchovies they're an already salty fish
You are fucking beyond retarded

>>14916956
no (you)

>>14915080
I prefer to make it myself. My little sister lives to make cheese pizza with me. It's our special treat when our parents go away for the weekend.

>>14914588
It's better to have it on the side anyway. Pour some anchovies on a small plate and call it a side dish.

Anchovy baked onto pizza is really nice as well, BUT... pizza places buy shitty anchovy that is overall fishy and boney and stuff, so I prefer to just have good anchovy on the side anyway.

>>14915166
I mostly agree. I do like them baked on the pie as well, but on the side is probably my preference.

do you go 'chovs only? or do you also put pepperoni and olives?

>>14915245
This is the correct answer

>>14915915
>kys instagrammer
They're 100% right though. The point of something like anchovy as a condiment or topping is that you get to accentuate your food with big bursts of intense salt and umami flavor, plus that chewy texture. "bomb" is a good word to describe that.

>>14914588
anchovies...capers...black olives...

the best pizza ever invented

where do youguys buy the anchovies that come in mason jars packed in olive oil? I can only find canned anchovies.

>>14917853
at my local supermarket
imagine not being southern european LMAO

>>14917624
Based anon - cooking with his lil sis. Keep it up, bro! Family is important.

>>14917624
based and wholesomepilled. I too have a very good relationship with my brother.

>>14914588
>hipster ingredient that very few people like
>if you open a can you have to use the whole can right-away or else they go bad
>expecting a pizza place to keep anchovy pizzas in the hot box ready to go at a moment's notice in case the ONE GUY A YEAR comes in and wants a slice
nah you're just being a baity retard at this point.

>>14914648
Pineapple's natural soulmate is jalapeño.

>>14914588
Real pizza places do, and the one I worked at was a Napoli/Roma style place, the only guys who ordered the anchovie pizza were old timer Italians. It was our most based pizza, we went out of business catering to fags that wanted hawaiian and pepperino. Our boss didn't understand that buy being niche and quality would allow us to charge more, instead he was battling with little caesars and the like. A losing battle. Anyway, anchovies are great.

>>14914648
Then you're a true patrician.

>>14914588
Checked and unless you really like fish you might get put off by the salty taste. It can mesh well with pizza but just like pineapple and ham it’s not for everyone.

>>14914588

I'm pretty sure papa johns has anchovies. You can even get them on the side if you want.

>>14914588
>get a coupon for a free pizza
>say fuck it lets try anchovies
>order it
>guy at the counter is like are you fucking serious?
>order it and leave for a bit
>come back to pick it up
>Cashier hands me a paper plate and straight up tells me he wants to see me try a piece of it
>do
>it's good
>pleasantly surprised
I'm convinced the only people who shit talk about how disgusting anchovy pizza is have never tried it.

>>14915915
>he knows what they say on instagram
fag

>>14914588
I had a cashier make fun of me for getting anchovies once. I think they are demonized in the culture

>>14919621
did you throw your drink in her face?

how salty are anchovies?

ive never eaten them

is it just 1 samefag in this thread who's complaining abut their saltiness?

>>14919782

They are pretty salty

>>14919567
>the amerifat taste palette
lol the absolute state

>>14917814
you will have to go back

>>14919621
you shoulda peed on the floor and left without paying

>>14919782
They're quite salty but it also depends on the brand. Cheaper anchovies tend to be more of a salt bomb. But yea, it's a salty little morsel. I like to have just like half a filet with each slice of pizza. Small nibble of anchovy in between bites of pizza. It's great.
