Pizza purists may prefer the simplest possible slice – a thin-crust Margherita slicked with tomato sauce and garnished delicately with fresh mozzarella and a few token basil leaves – but sometimes you want to spice things up. Luckily, there are a number of pizzerias around the world that don’t feel tied to the classic model. From kangaroo-topped slices in Australia to Finnish pizza sporting nuggets of smoked reindeer, these five bizarre pizzas feature some truly unusual toppings.
Thermidor of Lobster and Caviar Pizza, Steveston Pizza Company, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Thought pizza was a casual food? If you plan on visiting Steveston Pizza in Richmond, British Columbia, you might want to take a different approach. Famous for their off-the-wall pizzas, the restaurant serves a $450 version topped with lobster thermidor, black Atlantic cod, and a heap of Russian Osetra caviar – only order this one if you plan on savoring it. If that’s out of your budget, you could always opt for a slice of the caramelized duck confit and enoki mushroom pizza instead.
