Honey with Pizza. Discuss.
This is based on seeing someone at a pizza joint whip out a squeeze bear bottle of honey and drizzle over on his standard pepperoni pizza as we were doing take-out.
Personally, I can see it on, say an artisan pizza with, say, gorganzola, pear, cippolini onions, and arugula, - or maybe BBQ chicken pizza; but plain pepperoni and mozzarella/provolone? Haele

6. It's pizza with honey on it. Some might like it.
To me it's too much of a clash of flavors. Sweetness and pizza, I don't think so, but some even like pineapple on pizza.

8. Recently had some cheese curds that were served with a side of honey for dipping.
I thought it would be disgusting, but actually tasted surprisingly good!

10. I wouldn't slather honey over my pizza, cheese and all, BUT...
Beau Jo's Pizza in Colorado bakes honey into its crust and they have honey on the side for you to dip your crust in. It's freakin' AMAZING. 😋
I suppose some people might've put honey all over but I never saw that. |

13. Follow on - spouse who used to manage a pizza shop says...
If it's just pepperoni with a light amount of spicy sauce and not a lot of cheese (a mild cheese at that), it might work. This would give it similar to a brown sugar and pepper bacon broiled in an oven taste sweet, spicy porky goodness topping on a pizza base.
But it won't be to everyone's taste. And the pepperoni would have to be on top of the cheese with the honey lighty drizzled over the pepperoni for it to work. Okay. But then again, I've had pizza in Europe before, and they like to put all sorts of things on a pizza - I remember a salami, arugula, tomato slices, artichoke hearts, basil and garlic with no sauce in northern Italy that was particularly nice drizzled with balsamic vinegar back in the 1980's.
