Or anywhere, for that matter.

We're ordering a pizza for dinner, and my husband once again wanted to get anchovies as a topping. If those smelly things are anywhere near the pizza, even on half, the smell ends up all over the pizza.

You would think that after almost 21 years of marriage, he'd get it by now. I did compromise. I'm ordering a sub and he's getting a small anchovie pizza. I'm all heart.

The anchovies are still too close to my sandwich. He can eat the pizza in another room, lol.

I hate them on my pizza, and on anything else. They are just to salty.

I like vegtable and greek pizza.

Disgusting.

:barf:

BTW: I will pretty much only eat Sausage/Pepperoni on mine. I LOVE pizza(eat it very often), but really not any other toppings than that.

Anchovies are absolutely gross and disgusting. They feel horrible and taste even worse. Who the hell thought of the concept of fish on pizza anyway?!?

Try a slice of pizza with anchovies and pineapple. I know it sounds terrible, but it's pretty good. The pineapple cancels the saltiness of the anchovies.

Same here. I'm pretty simple when it comes to my pizza.

I've never had anchovies and I have no desire to try one!!

I only like pepperoni, extra cheese, canadian bacon, ham, and sausage on my pizzas. I don't mind anchovies so much - although I'd much rather they be left off the pizza if at all possible- but I despise olives.

I remember the old Nickelodeon show "What Would You Do" and on it some girl ate Rice Krispies topped with anchovies; the reason for this is supplied with a minute or two of research on Wikipedia. That looked so gross.

While I was subbing a computer class in early 2004, my co-workers ordered a pizza for all of us for lunch. I didn't realize the pizza they ordered had anchovies because I was subbing during that time and didn't know about the ordered pizza until I finished my sub session. They weren't that noticeable on the pizza. Needless to say, I didn't like the pizza with the fish. It was too salty and overpowering. I only ate one slice (not even a slice...more like a couple of bites) until I realized I didn't like the taste. Then I decided to stop eating it and get something else for lunch. It wasn't tasty at all for me. puke:

OMG yes! Awesome! :heart: I really can't imagine anchovies on pizza. Never had it, doubt I'll ever try it. My favorite pizza is pepperoni with extra sauce or mushroom and green peppers when I'm trying to be healthy :D

They don't really bother me. I don't love them but I can tolerate them. I really prefer my pizzas with no meat of any kind, just veggies and cheese and lots of pizza sauce.

If I wanted to eat little minnows I'd go down to our local bait shop and get them there. It would be cheaper.;) Bluck!


I prefer chicken and black olives on my pizza.

I kind of understand your situation though, Janice. Sort of. My wife freaks out about black olives and hates when I order them on half of the pizza. She's always afraid that there will be an olive hidden on her side. Oh No, An OLIVE!!!!:crazy:
And she orders all these peppers and onions(which I hate on pizza) and I don't say a thing.

Hmmm, you've given me a good idea though. Maybe I should start ordering anchovies on my half. Maybe that will quiet her about the olives.;)

:lol:

The problem with anchovies on half a pizza is that once the pizza box is shut, it steams that fish smell onto the entire pizza. Anchovies have such a strong smel....STINK!

Yeah, when too many toppings are added, it's not really a pizza anymore. There is no cheese or tomato sauce taste if there are 18 different toppings!

I honestly thought that anchovies on pizza was just one of those things you hear about on tv. i've never seen someone eat it before.

I agree with you, Janice!

Personally, my favorite toppings are pepperoni and sausage.

Neither did I until my co-workers ordered that pizza. I was amazed it actually existed, too! :lol: And it's always portrayed negatively on TV, isn't it?

we make our own Pizzas at my house. We got a bread maker so we just go from there. It is very tasty and a lot healthier.

BTW my dad likes anchovies, but never gets them when we get Pizza out.

I liked anchovies when I tried them.

I also like black olives, peppers, corn and pepperoni and chicken, and most other things. I don't like beef or mushrooms, though, so wouldn't order a pizza with either of those on it.
