is anchovy pizza as good as futurama made it look?
>>21779561Eat it and find out. The fuck do you want? A crowdsourced opinion on something like taste?
>>21779561It's an incredibly common pizza. Why are you asking us as if you couldn't have one at your door in half an hour for $20 to see for yourself?
>>21779561no but slurm is good
>>21779588A lot of places don't carry anchovies anymore because nobody was ordering them.
>>21779561anchovies are VILEi tried a pizza once with them and i couldn't get even a whole slice down
>>21779561Depends how much you like fish and salt.
>>21779561I like them. Usually get a lot of them when you order them on a pie cause they're not ordered often
>>21779561you not watch this episode? they literally tried it at the end and hated it
>>21779561>as good as futurama made it look>[ All Retching ]
>>21779561Fish doesn't go on pizza, let alone such a nasty one. No chain offers it by default, only a few offer it at select locations. Only actual freaks eat anchovy on pizza and they usually need to add it from their own can. Because literally no respectable pizza joint does it. It even looks like worms or turds
>>21779618Wrong, you just don't like anchovies.The last pizza that I got was from a world-renowned regional chain (notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article) and they definitely have anchovies on the menu. Even Dominos used to have anchovies (I know because I ordered them) although it appears they've cucked out recently. And of course my childhood neighborhood pizzeria had anchovies, although I was too scared to try them as a kid (because I had a kid's undeveloped palate, like yours).Fish on pizza deserves more consideration. One of the best pies I ever had was a white pie with salmon, onions, and capers. I haven't tried Japanese-style tuna pizza but I believe it would work, because tuna pairs naturally with bread and cheese. (Anyone says otherwise, who's never enjoyed a tuna melt, is clearly not American, and thus your opinion on pizza is meaningless.) Another famous pizzeria near me (we're spoiled here) has tuna on their regular menu, so there must be something to it.However there are a few special considerations with 'chovies. First, as stated, you have to already like anchovies. Putting something you hate on a pizza is not going to improve it. The second issue is that anchovies are a dominant topping and don't pair well with many other toppings. You would never make a pie with anchovies and pepperoni together, for example, because it would ruin both. For me, anchovies need fairly neutral combinations like mushroom, onion, and black olives. Finally, the guy making the pizza needs to be a chad anchovy enjoyer himself, so that he understands how to distribute them. If you just piled them on, like one of those wall-to-wall pepperoni pies, it would be too salty to be edible. An average-sized pie doesn't need more than a couple anchovies per slice, and you don't need 'chovy in every single bite.
>>21779561Saw this episode, went with a friend to dominoes, they gave the anchovies in a tin on the side instead of baking it onwe sat on the curb outside, each put an anchovy on a slice like in the cartoon, and loved it.i'm sure fresh anchovies are nowhere near their canned counterparts, but the canned are very pungent, oily, salty, almost overwhelming. also sometimes straight from the can the bones can be a bit off putting, but you can heat a small skillet with them and melt them down til it dissolves'chovies is my favorite topping because nobody else will touch the pizza
>>21779561not a good topping for cartoon pizza
>>21779618Very wrong, tuna pizza is such a staple you can even buy it frozen from several brands.
>>21779615Came here to post this. OP is a dumbass baka retard faggot.
>>21779618Maybe in your deserted plains of cardboard houses flyover manchild
>>21779779I live in SF. The side of my apartment are literally made of styrofoam.
>>21779561>is anchovy pizza as good as futurama made it look?no>>21779588>It's an incredibly common pizza.also noin 50 years I have never seen anyone ever order one.
>>21779618To me anchovies does not even count as fish. It is closer to a condiment.
>>21779561I love it, but yeah it's nuanced and polarizing. It's exactly like what Futurama made it out to be, if you love it, you love it, if you're not a fan you think it's disgusting.
>>21779561Anchovies are salty umami, as you already know. If you don't dislike a touch of fishiness in your salad dressing on a caesar salad, then you'll prolly like it, especially if really small and olive oil packed.
>>21780019my mother isn't salty, you nigger
>>21779561it's pretty good if you mince them, put them in the sauce, and have no other salt in the sauce or the doughjust using them as a topping on some chain pizza is just putting a bunch of salt on top of a salty pizza
>>21780019most people on this board don't know what a real caesar salad tastes like nonny
I would eat anchovies out of the tin if I wasn't certain I would have a sodium-induced heart attack.
It's good but REALLY salty You must distribute it right and cut it on fine slides
>>21779588>It's an incredibly common pizzain movies or tv shows, specifically so a character can make a joke about how nobody actually orders it
>>21780398salt is actually healthy
>>21780413It used to be common enough for Pizza Hut to have it on their menu.
>>21780413Pizza places that have obviously been there for decades will still stock them, especially if they're run by actual italian americans. Chain places have them on the menu more than you'd expect if you don't look also but I'm disinclined to order them from one because that is probably the circumstance where nobody orders them so who knows. I did once and it was fine, though >>21780057 is right, it's not like getting them at a real pizza place
It was one of the most popular toppings at Señor Pizza.
>>21779561take a normal pizzaput a lot of salt on a tiny biteat ityou now know what anchovies tastes like, salt
>>21779561not everyone likes it , i love the damn thing but every single person i know hates it and in all my birthdays we have pizza , i ask one with anchovy and people hate me for it putting that at the same lvl as pineapple pizza.
>>21779615>>21779778No one likes em at first, but they'll grow on ya
>>21779561Ots my favorite pizza topping. That futurama episode made me want to try it as a kid. Now I get a personal pie with spinach and anchovies
>>21779561It is unfathomably salty. It will absolutely overpower every thing else on the pizza. Had it once, never tried it again. It's meme food.>>21779618>anchovies and pineappleMan made horror beyond our comprehension.
i dont know how i got lucky enough as a chove enjoyer to have two closest friends also be chove enjoyers. grimy black choves are good on whatever but white choves on buttered bread is fucking super s tier
>>21779561You mix them with tuna, capers, olives and garlicAlso use some onion as topping and cut back on the cheese. Only a little parmesan on the tomato sauce, cheese an fish doesn't mix too wellYou will enjoy it
>>21779561Why don't you make some and test it.
>>21779561Those of us old enough to remember the 80s know that anchovy was the pineapple pizza of it's day.
>>21779726That was a sweet story anon.:)
>>21779698If you were OK with anchovies on pizza you wouldn't write all that to justify your choices to me. But you're trying to solve your own cognitive dissonance, to prove to yourself that you're a good person despite eating anchovies on pizza. You can't have both>>21779779I live in the place that made yuro flatbread into the world famous pizza you know today. No respectable New York joint would be caught dead stocking anchovies. It's simply not done.>>21779998A condiment made of and tasting of fish. I probably eat more anchovies than anyone ITT, I shell out for the nice ones that aren't just dried up turds in a can. But it simply doesn't go on pizza. Ever.
>>21779561>>21779596I friggin love anchovy on pizza. It's my go toHowever one should buy their own anchovies, most pizza places use cheap excessively salty anchovies. Buy some good ones that usually come in a jar. They're delicious even on their own
>>21779561>is anchovy pizza as good as futurama made it look?try it an find out if you like it
i like putting shrimp on my pizza
>>21779561It's a love/hate relationship. I'll start off loving it and then like it less and less with every slice. I've never finished an anchovy pizza and thought "i can't wait to order another one!"After a while though i always come back
>>21780019i dont know what umami is but they certainly dont taste salty. they taste like deenz x 1.5
>>21779561no
>>21779561anchovies kinda taste like black olives. black olives replaced them for a reason.
>>21779561>is anchovy pizza as good as futurama made it look?Corporations love people like you.
>>21780430>$1.50 for a large pizza
Anchovy pizza can be really good but the problem is that most places use expired, canned anchovies because everyone is too scared to order it.
>>21783401There's also the issue that they aught to go under the cheese. This is one of those structural things that makes a big difference, and nobody does it.
>>21783365>Corporations love people like you.no particular brand is being advertised here thoughbeit
Fry's right in that it's saltier than most pizzas, and is an aquired taste. But I like it. They're like saltier sardines and cook into something very soft and homogenized into the pizza.
>>21783368Believe it or not, Taco Bell is actually one of the cheaper options in my city. I should work at burger king, there's almost never anyone there, I don't know how they stay open.>$5.99 for a whopper jr, just the sandwich >$10.89 for a whopper, just the sandwich
>>21783368If this menu is from 1960 (that's my assumption at least), that would be most of the median hourly wage of $2.10.
>>21781515I like shrimp on white pizza
>>21783435From my experience working at Wendy's, my theory for why prices are being jacked is because fast food places experience far more sales when they release a new item, but new items often incorporate unique ingredients that aren't being used for anything else. This is risky as the new item will inevitably stop selling after a week. That's why In-N-Out's prices are so stable, they don't add shit to their menu so they basically just make burgers en masse knowing that that's almost the only option. Same with White Castle.
>>21783405>and nobody does it.if you go to a proper eye-talian sit down restaurant and see anchovy pizza on the menu they'll do it correctly
>>21779561@grok is it good?
>>21783572In the classic Futurama episode "A Fishful of Dollars" (Season 1, Episode 6), Fry discovers anchovies have gone extinct in the future and spends his newfound fortune on the last can, declaring them his all-time favorite pizza topping. He shares an anchovy-loaded pizza with the crew—most hate it (calling it gross), but Zoidberg goes feral demanding more, highlighting how rare and coveted they supposedly are.In real life? Anchovies on pizza are incredibly divisive—not quite the universal delicacy Fry hypes them up to be. They're a traditional Italian topping (dating back to early Neapolitan pizzas like marinara, where cheap, preserved fish added umami punch before tomatoes were even common). High-quality ones (oil-packed fillets from brands like Ortiz or Agostino Recca) deliver bold, salty-savory umami that melts into the cheese and sauce, enhancing flavors without overwhelming if used sparingly and added post-bake to avoid fishiness.Many people (especially in the US) find them too salty, fishy, or overpowering—often ranked as one of the least popular toppings in surveys. Bad experiences come from cheap, overcooked ones that dominate every bite. Fans pair them with olives, capers, onions, garlic, or chilies for balance, and swear they're addictive (some even call them "the bacon of the sea").So, as good as Futurama says? For Fry and anchovy lovers—absolutely, a rare treat worth billions. For most folks? Not even close; they'd side with Bender and Leela spitting it out. If you're curious, try half a pizza with good anchovies on one side. You might join Team Fry... or demand your money back like Zoidberg demanding seconds!
>>21779561>litterally posts a scene where they all gag on the pizza and spit it out
>>21779561I tried anchovy pizza once. It was very salty and the fish flavor overwhelmed the taste of everything else.I like seafood a lot but that was too much.
>>21779561It depends on the anchovies and the pizza.Good anchovies on good pizza is very good indeed. Cheap fish on cheap pie is like gluing salty eyebrows onto a styrofoam pig and saying "My wife doesn't need to know."
>>21783917You had shit pizza from a place that got mad at needing to open a low-quality can of anchovies, so they just dumped it all on your pizza so they didn't need to deal with the smell anymore in the kitchen.>>21783929This man tells the truth. If it's a place that respects the topping as an option then it's very good, but it is a topping that needs more consideration of what other toppings are on the pizza. Anchovies, spinach, and roma tomatoes is my go-to because they balance each other nicely.
>another thread where americans have incredibly retarded opinions and proudly display their lack of knowledge or understanding about everything that can'd be found in the nearest wal-mart
>>21779561on a white za with tomatoes yesbut bacon is just as good/better choes just hit the right spot some times>>21779698my dominos still has em but i live in a jewish area and they cant have meat with cheese unless its fish which is prob why anchovies on pizza is a thing
>>21784180I figured it had more to do with the fact that most of the places Pizza making immigrants came from were places that ate a lot of fish. There's clam pizza in places and Jews can't do shellfish. Anchovies have been part of Italian diets since they were called Rome ffs.
>>21784180>white za with tomatoes... ... ... I said hold the fuckin' pomodoro... WAIT!
pizza napolitana with anchovy filets and capers is great
>>21779561It's an acquired taste ;)>The End>Bam... Bam Bam Bam Bam... Bam... Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum...
>>21779618>Fish doesn't go on pizzaneither does your pastor's spooge but here we are
>>21779561>>21779561Depends on the prep. Anchovies are stupid good in moderation, but they can overpower easily. with great powers comes great somethingorrather.
>>21780493>Can't order for 3 hours before close on a Tuesday.What a shit business.
>>21779561I do codliver and deenz
>>21779588>$20 for a pizzaFucking sadWtf is this captcha
>>21779561I tried it once and I found that the anchovy fillets were too salty. Fishiness wasn't a problem, it just tastes savory and kind of cheesy, but the burst of salt was too much. Now I drizzle fish sauce on a pizza and add it to tomato sauce. It's better in liquid form
>>21784815Kinda this. I like anchovies, but I wish they were added more moderately, like in tiny bits spread across a piza for little bursts of flavor kind of like capers.
My absolute goyslave cattle brain after reading this thread:>ordered pizza>topped it with tinned cod>put on netflix>"Futurama">not available>hulu>error>Youtube TV>available next weekFUCK THIS GAY KOSHER RETARDED NIGGER EARTH
Why would anyone order regular pepperoni from Lil caesars when the old world pepperoni is an option?
>>21779561always keep a can around
I made some savoury muffins earlier this week with anchovies. Anchovy, chedder cheese, feta cheese, and oregano. Half have additional anchovies on top (but under the cheese topping).
