I've mentioned often that China hasn't a clue what pizza is except that it's round. Slight exaggeration but only slight. 20 years ago it was unknown. Most  obviously they haven't a clue what to put on it. All sorts of atricities. So, it's time to present the evidence for the prosecution. All images are from my local delivery service listings. 

 

I'll start with the most egregious - the feared and loathed durian pizza. You didn't think I was going to buy one, did you?

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.

Oh boy, @liuzhou - I really don't know whether to laugh or cry over that last post.
