Not only the US. Pretty much every pizza place in the UK features their version of a 'supreme'. It's usually just a mix of pretty much all the toppings they happen to carry. The only thing hidden under that pile of cheese seems to be the pizza base.

Yes. Happens here a lot, too. Especially with steak restaurants. I have also encountered the permanently missing ingredients turning out to be something they'd never even seen.

I can only go by the customer's review which discloses the name they give it. That person described it as a very simple pizza. I strongly suspect that the store just saw the English name somewhere without knowing what it meant and decided to use it. I've seen that happening before in other so-called 'western' restaurants.

This was more a brunch but I'm putting here as it was closer to breakfast time than lunchtime (just). Pork wontons in broth with lettuce. Apologies for dreadful image. I tried every which way tov make it look better.

This, I'm told, is described in store, but as usual not on the the delivery app. As "Supreme Pizza"! I am struggling to think of anything that looks less like a 'supreme pizza' or supreme anything else! They are clearly delusional.

I've never had ube anything but vanilla is a favourite. Not keen on chocolate ice cream, either.

I mentioned recently in the dinner 2025 topic that my favourite ice cream flavour is durian. At that time I was buying the Marketside brand from the local Walmart store. It was acceptable but can only be had in boxes of four 50 gram tubs at ￥5 a tub. Since then I have changed what little loyalty I have to Walmart into a local brand, 梦雪 (mèng xuě, literally 'dream snow') from the Chinese supermarket chain, 联华超市 (lián huá chāo shì), Lianhua Supermarkets. This comes in 75 gram tubs at only ￥3.9 each. Not is it a more satisfying size and cheaper but it has a more pronounced durian flavour and the store is much closer to my home than Walmart, meaning my ice cream hasn't melted by the time it's safely in my fridge. We are going through a spell of 35℃+ every day.

This one is more approaching edibility than most, although I'm sceptical about seafood on pizza. What is intriguing to me is that is described (maybe by the customer; maybe by the seller) as a Seafood Tuna Pizza. As opposed to a Farmyard Tuna, I assume. One review does go on to say that what is actually served is just a basic cheese and tomato pizza with a can of undrained canned tuna poured on top. Spot the cØrn?

Yass , I've learned is a town in Australia south of Sydney.

You might not eat bees. I've eaten them both here in China and also in Vietnam.

Lucky dogs.

I’ve managed to determine what some of Lay's, the secretive pizza place’s pizzas may be, not from the company selling them, of course, but from customers’ comments. Here is one. Purple sweet potato pizza. They don’t mention durian, though.

Moving to a different venue. While they mostly all sell the same things and copy each others menus if not recipes, this one is unique. Bewilderingly so. It’s called Lays Pizzeria although they often misspell their own name as Lasy Pizzeria. Their USP is that they only provide pictures of their offerings. No hint as to what might be in them. It may be different in store, but I’ve never ventured inside. Now, this looks like perhaps a standard pepperoni number, but don’t be fooled. I have established that ‘cheese’ is, in fact, durian! The 'pepperoni' could be strawberry jam ⁈

I've been grappling with the moral dilemma of being totally open or subjecting the innocent to crimes against food, so have so far avoided any mention of the yellow peril, although it seriously limits my posting options. I will consult my psychiatrist and probation officer over the weekend and make my final decision. "To post or not to post. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or take arms against the yellow poison", as the 16th century pizza maker said.

Fresh out of shrimp for the above? Don't worry! Grab yourself a bunch of rice paddy eels. They also offer this eel and mango version, but warn that if they run out of said mango, they'll use pineapple instead. They seem to have forgotten the "mayo" this time, but I'm sceptical whether they'll deliver it with or not.

Spicy Pig's Ears.

Could be. And they probably look worse in real life!

It's a pizza only place about a quarter of a mile from my home. Fairly popular so far as I can see. I often pass it. It's been there for a few years now and they have opened a second branch so someone must be biting.

Japanese Kewpie Sweet "Mayonnaise".

Moving on through the menu, at last we get some protein in addition to the cheese but still with the fruit. A delightful Wasabi Sauce Mango Shrimp Pizza. I am near speechless. One thing I’m sure of, though; there is no wasabi on or near that. It’ll be the usual green-dyed horseradish. Obligatory squeezy bottle 'mayo' action!

It has some sort of industrial cheese on it. Maybe not tomato sauce. It isn't mentioned in the listing. (I've never eaten it, so can't be sure). I don't think it's particularly meant to be a desert; it's just they think that's a pizza.

羊肉粉 (yáng ròu fěn), Lamb Rice Noodles

I am not exaggerating odd things in the least. These are the first two pizzas on my local delivery app. Pizza Hut? Give me a break. They ship frozen pizzas from hundreds of miles away and reheat them in local stores. And they do durian pizza, too.

I'm convinced the Chinese are convinced pizza is a type of cake. In many places, the base is more like sponge cake than bread; sweet and well, spongy. Also, they love to stick fruit on top. The is below is described on the menu as "Fruit colourful pizza (seasonal fruit*)" and is of course, lathered with Japanese Kewpie sweet 'mayonnaise'. Curses on squeezy bottles and whoever introduced them to China. All sorts of inappropriate foods get covered by irrelevant squiggles. * Watermelon, dragon fruit and pineapple. And we thought "Hawaiian Pizza" was bad.

That first tuna image is a work of art. I want to hang it on my kitchen wall.
