A couple of days ago my daughter wanted to order pizzas with her first paycheck.

We went to a website and had a look at pizza specials.

She decided that she wanted the classic Hawaiian ham & pineapple, but without the ham.

She's not that keen on ham, but she loves pineapple. So I guess that's a win.

This reminded me of many years ago when I travelled up north to Queensland & stopped at Yamba for pizza.

They had a chef special which had banana on the pizza. This was not dessert pizza, it was a savoury pizza.

Who doesn't love a good pizza? For some it's even an obsession.

What’s your favourite topping?

I like pepperoni, capsicum, jalapeno chilies & olives.

This got me thinking about all of the strange toppings people like on their pizza.

The good thing about pizza is you can have whatever you like on yours.

Pea Pizza

One of the favourite toppings in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is peas ...

Julia's Zaatar and Preserved Lemon Pizza

Simple pizzas made with dough that the bread machine kneaded. The bread machine took 1 hour to knead and proof the dough. The pizzas took about 10-15 minutes in a hot oven.

Julia's toppings:

• Kyneton Nonna's Crushed Olives and garlic - under-seasoned because the olives were very fruity and not too salty
• Zaatar and preserved lemon - a very Middle-Eastern combination!

Alpha's toppings:

• Anchovies, chilli, garlic ... I love my stinky fish, but it was a bit too strong for Julia
• fennel seeds and sea salt - yum, but would have been so much better with Italian-style salted pork fat!
