Your pizza will be as good as the toppings that you’re using, and that’s why it’s crucial to make the right choice. In addition to picking the right ingredients, you’ll have to find the perfect balance between them and prep them perfectly, but you can ruin the whole thing by making these common mistakes.

Zero Prep

You can place certain toppings on your crust and call it a day, but this method doesn’t work with all of them. Certain types of veggies and meat call for extra prep, and you should make sure to cook them beforehand because putting them on top of your crust won’t get the job done.

Too Many Toppings

If you have a “go big or go home” approach to making pizza, it’s time to switch gears. Going overboard, especially when it comes to toppings, won’t do your pizza any favors. The crust won’t get a chance to shine, and the pizza will be too heavy and soggy from all the toppings, so sticking to three to five add-ons is your best bet.

Finding Balance

Mixing all sorts of different toppings is all fun and games, but some of them simply don’t bring out the best in each other. If you’re still new to pizza making, stick to classic recipes and figure out which ingredients perfectly balance each other out before starting to experiment.

When you go to order a pizza, what sort of toppings do you usually ask for? Most of us would probably say “normal” options such as pepperoni, cheese, and onions—but in certain countries, the “normal” choices might not be what we would expect.

Here are three weird pizza toppings from around the world that are just considered ordinary where they’re eaten!

Canned Tuna (Europe)

While it might sound weird to put canned tuna on pizza, this is actually a common topping in countries like Germany and Spain! It’s often combined with onion to make a flavor combination that you probably wouldn’t expect to find on a pie.

Green Peas (Brazil)

Green peas are an everyday pizza topping in the country of Brazil—believe it or not. Often combined with other toppings, a typical homemade Brazilian pizza will have a smattering of green peas placed on top of the cheese and tomato sauce.

Smoked Fish (Russia)

Russians love smoked fish, and it turns out that their preference for this culinary treat extends to pizza. The popular Mockba pizza includes smoked herring, sardines, tuna, mackerel, and salmon in what can only be described as a pie that’s an acquired taste.
