why is there no such thing as sweet pizzas?
to has any one ever tried making one?

i would suggest, the usual dough base, covered with a caramel/toffee sauce or perhaps jam, instead of tomato sauce
top that with fruit and nuts, or fudge, brownie pieces, instead of meat and veg,
then sprinkle with grated chocolate instead of cheese.
(instead of a 4 cheese, you could have white, milk and dark choc and a caramac, lol)

and perhaps sprinkle with icing sugar (or hundreds and thousands lol) instead of herbs

you could add cream cheese

or once cooked you could top with ordinary cream perhaps

you could even add sweet chilli sauce

what do you reckon? hit or miss?

anyone brave enough to try one?

I used to have a recipe for a sweet pizza but it was actually a "base" made from shortbread, covered with melted chocolate then various sweets eg dolly mixtures, jelly tots, smarties sprinkled on. This was then drizzled with melted white chocolate (mozzarella!)
I would like to try tha one joko. I am away this weekend but have a pizza base mix in the cupboard and will try it Sunday if I am back in time or next weekend and report back.

I'm thinking:
Nutella instead of tomato puree
Crushed hazelnutes, jelly tots, broken Flakes, hundreds and thousands, raisins and melted white choc

ooh that sounds good nat, i reckon drizzle it with either runny icing or toffee sauce....yummm

what are you naming that one nat, he he?

i wonder what those fruity sauces you get for ice cream would be like hot?
there are sweet pizzas but they are called by different names, depending on country and region.
i would post the names but i cannot spell them and i wouldn't dare attempt for fear of the good spellers. ;-)
La pizza del Natto (society, I have had two glasses of wine and couldn't give a hoot about spelling!!)

or la pizza del natella...lol
We have always had them here in the USA. Most of them have fruit - either cooked or fresh and a drizzle of icing/frosting.
Question Author
really bbw - can you get them in takeaways and restaurants or have them delivered?

hey....you can be sent to jail for having such thoughts and ideas.........



great idea tho !!
CHOCOLATE BUTTONS!!!! They'd be great on a sweet pizza. Honestly, you should be make Saint Joko for this.
natalie........go straight to jail.....


chocolate buttons..........brilliant
Jail? That's a bit harsh surely...
i made one when i was at school - a few years ago now! had marshmallows on top went all gooey yum!!
Oh yuck!!! and I thought pizza with pineapple was gross...sorry folks but I would want to respect the culinary traditions of a country rather than mess about with them. I mean....what if the japanese or other asian peoples took a traditional british food-say roast beef-and decided to tart it up with ingredients that didn't 'work'...that changed the whole character of the dish...it just wouldn't 'be' roast beef anymore.Sorry if I am rabbiting on a bit but it is something that bugs me.
Question Author
oh wow, great idea, oastafreak,

what about sweet pasta !!??

how about pasta with cream, marshmallows, chocolate and pecans

or fruit puree, and chocolate shavings?

or cherry laces instead of pasta?
Joko: I've looked at your description of a 'sweet pizza' and decided that it comes very close to some 'cheesecakes' that I've tried. (There seems to be a point where the two culinary ideas meet).

Pastafreak: I'm pleased to see that you believe in 'respecting culinary traditions'. I hope, however, that you don't do so like a friend of mine. He insists on having only 'genuine Italian' ingredients on his pizzas but he then asks for 'deep pan' pizza. I can't get him to understand that he'd get blank looks (or possibly thrown out!) if he asked for that in my favourite restaurant in Genoa ;-)

However, the idea of a 'sweet pizza' is not in conflict with traditional Italian food. 'Schiacciata' tastes great!

mmm...don't get it... cheesecake has a biscuit crumb base, is cold, uncooked, and has a sort of thick cream cheese type stuff layer ...can't really see the similarity....mmm....?
Crostata is one of them, simple to make and absolutely divine! This is a raspberry crostata but there are many variations, some including slices or chunks of fruits.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that some of the 'cheesecakes' I've tasted (with a dough base, rather than biscuit crumbs) have been served in Scandinavian countries (especially Sweden).

joko - Yes - the pizza place I order from has a dessert pizza. It is on pizza dough and has a cinnamony sugary buttery layer and then has white frosting/icing drizzled back and forth over the top. I didn't think I would like it - but when I tasted it, it was WONDERFUL!!!
