    Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

    As far as I can tell they’re even from Italy.

    We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

    But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

      The Crosta & Mollica Stromboli has ruined all other pizza for me. It’s infinitely superior to everything except perhaps a genuine Italian fresh from the pizza oven.

      Yes pineapple, in moderation.

      The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

      You’re one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren’t you?!

            @Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

            Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent

                I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:

                Flying Jacob Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.

                That didn’t help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.

                  That sounds hideous.

                  One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression…

                  Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.

                    @Sturgist honestly I like the sound of the sandwich more than the glass of milk! I’ve never really understood big cups of milk (my kids love them though). But as a marmite aficionado I am totally on board with you-do-you sandwich combinations.

        Kiwis, no… Australians… maybe (jk)

        No, I’m a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeños and chorizo are my usual

          Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza…except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese…
