World's Most Outrageous Pizzas

Most Outrageous Pizzas

    Pizza is a sacred institution. Whether topped with meat or veggies, thin crust or deep-dish, a good pizza pie is something everyone loves. Of course, some pizzas are more a matter of personal taste than others. So we have to ask: Would

    you

    eat any of these outrageous pizzas from around the world?

  • Tama-Chiki Hamburger Pizza, Strawberry Cones, Japan

  • Imaginary conversation: "Hey, what's left over inside our restaurant's fridge and cabinets? Chicken, hamburger, eggs, corn, mayonnaise, parsley, and teriyaki sauce? Cool, throw it on a pizza crust. People will eat anything if we call it pizza!" That's how we imagine the monstrous mishmash of flavors known as the Tama-Chiki Hamburger pizza at Strawberry Cones must have been devised.

  • Coat of Arms Pizza, The Australian Heritage Hotel, Australia

  • Want to see all of the cute local Australian wildlife, like emus and kangaroos? Want to see them on your pizza? Head to The Australian Heritage Hotel, where the Coat of Arms pizza is topped with emu, pepper kangaroo, red onion, bush tomato, capsicum, and cranberries. The suggested beer pairing? Little Creatures Pale Ale.

  • Mega Pizza, Pizza Hut, Japan

  • We can almost get on board with Pizza Hut Japan's Mega Pizza. After all, its crust is stuffed with hot dogs (and the hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and melted cheese) and the pizza is topped with more cheese, mini hamburgers, sausage, bacon, ham, mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic, and tomato sauce. But this pizza lost us at the two included sauces: ketchup and maple syrup. Although … maybe with the ketchup and maple syrup, Pizza Hut could market it as a breakfast pizza and sell millions in the U.S.? Be right back, patenting that idea!

  • Cream Cheese Mochabun Crust, Mr. Pizza, Korea

  • Wish your pizza came with more sugar? Swap a boring old regular pizza crust for the sweet cream cheese-filled Mochabun crust at Mr. Pizza. We can only imagine how tasty it would be with the Eggta Half & Half pizza (topped with steak, Camembert cheese, and shrimp). Looking for something more savory? Try the Broccoli Cheese Soup crust!

  • Haggis Pizza, Cosmo's Pizzas, Scotland

  • What's one way to make haggis (an infamous Scottish dish of offal boiled in a bag of animal stomach) more appetizing? Toss it on a pizza! The chefs at Cosmo's Pizzas have done just that, making a pizza topped with the uniquely Scottish delicacy. Best of all, the pizza is premade: You can buy one at the grocery store and heat it yourself (all the better to shame-eat alone without anyone judging you).

  • Mexican Fiesta Pan Pizza, Pizza Hut, Malaysia

  • Why waste your money on a bag of chips and a pizza to satisfy all your junk-food cravings? Pizza Hut makes it easy for you to indulge in both (at least in Malaysia), with the Mexican Fiesta Pan Pizza, which comes topped with corn, kidney beans, chicken, and corn chips.

  • Baked Kit Kat and Mango Dessert Pizza, Strawberry Cones, Japan

  • Oh, Strawberry Cones. You had us with the baked Kit Kats, mango, honey, nuts, and maple syrup on a delicious dessert pizza. But then you lost us at Gorgonzola cheese …

  • Tropical Tuna Pizza, Cone Pizza, Malaysia

  • We're pretty sure that nobody has ever requested pizza in a messier and harder-to-eat form. Yet, here we are with Cone Pizza. That's right, it's pizza in the shape of an ice cream cone. The crust forms the cone and, in the case of the Tropical Tuna pizza, is stuffed with tuna chunks, crab stick, peppers, onions, pineapple, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

  • Gourmet Selection Pizza, Strawberry Cones, Japan

  • Salmon, tuna, mayonnaise, and Camembert: all are famously stinky foods, and all can be found on the Gourmet Selection pizza at Strawberry Cones. Buy this and eat it in your office as a surefire way to make all your coworkers hate you.

  • Alligator Pizza, Evan's Neighborhood Pizza, Florida

  • Finally, America steps it up with an entry on this list, and it's a very Florida item. Stop by Evan's Neighborhood Pizza to enjoy the Alligator pizza, a pie topped with a blend of Florida alligator and spicy sausage.
