Do people actually eat anchovy pizza?

tried it in japan, was actually good.
Despite being in so many old cartoons and movies it's almost impossible to find in America

[Anonymous No.19061613]

When I worked at a pizza place, Jet's Pizza specifically, someone would order anchovy probably like twice a month on average

It sucked cause it would stink up the oven side of the building for the rest of the night

Then you must live in magic unicorn anchovy land, I tried in Ft. Lauderdale, Detroit, and DC with no success after I got back from Japan.

A few years ago I was out with a group of friends at a bar that specialized in tiny personal pizzas with an insane variety of toppings.

We made a small bet to try and make the most disgusting pizza that we could think of. If we could successfully eat the entire thing we would win, and everyone else would pay for the pizza and drinks for the rest of the evening.

I ordered a white-sauce pizza with baked beans, fried eggs, pineapple, spinach, and olives. It was one of the most disgusting things I ever consumed, and I am pretty sure it shortened my lifespan by at least a year. However, I did win and got to eat and drink for free that night.

Yet I would still choose that pizza over anything with fucking anchovies on it.

salty, wet, and meaty. All qualities that other ingredients on a pizza lack (meat is usually very dry).

[Anonymous No.19061742]

>>19061120
the secret is to get anchovies on the side instead of on the pizza

[Anonymous No.19062243]

I pretty much always get anchovies on my pizza. It's so good it would almost be a waste not to. If I ever go out with people and am sharing a pizza and they don't want anchovies it's always a let down; like going to a sushi place and only being able to order cucumber rolls without soy sauce or wasabi.

I literally just did 5 minutes ago. I love the salty fishy flavor. It's the flavor that built the Roman Empire.

[Anonymous No.19062861]

>>19062849
Also chovy haters are pathetic to me. Like little kids who say they don't like broccoli because a cartoon character said it was nasty. Like wtf >>19061640 this guy would rather consume a sloppa shit than a cured salted fish. It's all cultural. Anchovy = bad is just engrained in people's brains because of pop culture. Their loss, I say.

[Anonymous No.19062874]

>>19062861
In addition to your point, chovies are also sometimes doled-out totally carelessly. I was always taught to treat chovies as a seasoning rather than a piece of meat like ham or bacon. People get served a whole chovy on a single slice and it's overpowering and they toss it down. But really, chovy is just an elegant way to add salt and the flavour of the ocean to a dish without dousing it with salt or weird oils. It's fucking delicious to anyone who has tasted it properly.

Same as capers and parmigiano reggiano. You overpower a dish and people get grouchy, you hide it in a dish and they beg your for the secret recipe.

[Anonymous No.19062905]

>>19061120
The only issue is that people rarely orders it and usually anchovies come from cans like deezs, so pizza places tend empty it on your pizza to not waste food. Then you end up with a salt bomb that quickly goes from delicious to disguting.
A shame really.

didn't even know what an anchovy was until later in life and only knew it as one of Michelangelo's wacky/disgusting pizza toppings from the Turtles
certainly didn't think it was a fish

Yeah chobis have great """umami""". Some places put dried ones on top of cooked pizza though and that's no good. They have to be baked with the rest of it.

anchovies have only come back in 'style' because of the ungodly amounts of asian immigration that now infests our society. its the same reason everything has fucking cinnamon in it now. thats chinese yumyums.

[Anonymous No.19065762]

>>19061120
Oh yeah. Big time.

[Anonymous No.19065829]

the error most pizza places do is to cook the 'chovies in the oven.
supermarket grade cheap anchovies ---> become too dry and salty
fat quality anchovy filets ---> melt and become worse
it's way better to put them on the 'za after coming out ot the oven. The residual heat is enough to warm them.

[Anonymous No.19066557]

I prefer to crush them and mix them into the pizza sauce.

> it's almost impossible to find in America
Most major pizza chains offer anchovy as a topping. You can easily get it in every small town in America that has a pizza restaurant, let alone the major cities you list here >>19061630

It's astonishing that you went out looking for something so commonly available and failed.

[Anonymous No.19066573]

>>19062257
Bullshit retard. I worked at Pizza Hut 20 years ago and we had anchovies. We'd have to open a can on the rare occasion someone ordered it and then we'd have the remaining half of the can sitting in the fridge for a few weeks before finally throwing it away. But we still had it, dumbass

Yes sir, just set it to highest temperature you can. Make sure your dough has enough olive oil to get it golden crispy. Finish in broiler setting so it gets the toppings fully cooked, cheese fully melted and crust turns gold.
