A pizza topped with: cheese, soy beans, corn, pepperoni, mushrooms, mini-hot dogs and hamburger patties, and your choice of ketchup or maple syrup topping, is now available from Pizza Hut Japan.
Corn on pizza sounds kind of appealing. I'm imagining some kind of 'Southwestern' thing--cornmeal crust, black-bean-and-corn salsa, pepper jack, like that.
'Pizza,' at this point, pretty much only means round flat bread with something on top, right?
Here in the UK we have such delights as 'Tandoori Chicken Pizza', the vile Hawaiian (here made with 'smoked formed ham' from Germany and Denmark) and the microwaveable pizza.
At some point, it loses the right to call itself a pizza. Those things described above are indeed some sort of food product, but if you can call them pizza, you've disolved all category and destinction so much that it's silly to then turn around and differentiate man from woman, black from white, left from white, up from down! Verily, everything is pizza!
Broccoli on pizza is actually quite good. And an Indian place by us recently opened as an extension of their restaurant and grocery. They do an awesome paneer chile and a sinful good spicy cauliflower pizza.
