10 Strange and Delicious Regional Pizza Toppings You Need To Try Next Time You Are Travelling

Anywhere you go around the world, you are sure to find that each region will have their own specific take on pizza, whether its the style (for example Chicago deep dish or thin, airy Neapolitan pizza) or the toppings that they use.

Anywhere you go around the world, you are bound to find some strange and delicious regional pizza toppings. Here are some to keep an eye out for next time you are globetrotting.

When it comes to what influences pizza toppings in a specific region, food culture plays a big part, as does other factors like environment and what ingredients are readily avaliable. Cheese and pepperoni can be found just about anywhere, but what about those toppings that are a little more unique? Here are 10 regional pizza toppings you have to try next time you are travelling around the world.

Lobster – Boston, USA

The New England region of The States is renowned for its crustaceans, in particular, lobster so it’s no surprise that you’ll find plenty of lobster pizzas on menus in Boston. One shining example is the lobster pizza at the Liberty Hotel in Boston, which features cream, cheese, garlic and the meat of a two pound lobster.

Bacon and Eggs, France

In France, pizza is often eaten for breakfast, so it’s not surprising that many early morning favourites find their way onto topping lists. Bacon and eggs are a favourite – we’re talking sliced rasher bacon and an entire egg, either fried on the pizza or separately then added later.

Peas –  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazilian pizzas can get pretty obscure, with ingredients like quail eggs, carrots, raisins commonly found on menus around the country. One favourite that you’ll find everywhere in Rio de Janiero though is fresh green peas.

Fish – Russia

Fish on pizza is nothing out of the ordinary, but the Russians do it a little differently. Mockba is a popular Russian pizza style, topped with mackrel, tuna, sardines, salmon and onions.

Spices – Palestine

In Palestine, you’ll find pizzas topped with a variety of strange and exotic spices including cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg.

Pickled Ginger – India

Paratha is an Indian dish very similar to the classic Neapolitan pizza base. You’ll commonly find it topped with sheep (mutton) and pickled ginger.

Kangaroo – Australia

The Kangaroo may feature on the Australian coat of arms, but that doesn’t stop us from putting it on our pizzas. Kangaroo meat tastes great marinated in pepper and olive oil and is especially good cut very thin and placed on top of a pizza.

Truffles – NYC, USA

Autumn is truffle season in New York, and pizza makers in NYC take full advantage of the bloom in this expensive delicacy. You’ll find quite a few eateries across the city that offer shaved truffles on the top of their pizzas for a whole new level of flavour complexity.

Za’atar – Lebanon

Za’atar is at the very crux of Lebanese food culture. It is made from a blend of herbs and spices like Origanum syriacum (Lebanese oregano), wild thyme, marjoram, sumac, toasted sesame seeds and salt. You will commonly find it on vegetarian Lebanese food as a substitute for tomato sauce as a base.

Coconut – Costa Rica

Many countries are well-known for putting pineapple on their pizzas, but in Costa Rica shaved coconut is a popular alternative.

Is Lebanese Food Healthy? | The Benefits of a Lebanese Diet

It’s a common question, is Lebanese Food Healthy? Traditional Lebanese food is well known for being delicious; however, it is also a fantastic choice for those looking for a healthy food option. Here we take a brief look at a few of the many reasons why Lebanese cuisine is among the world’s healthiest, so if you care about your health prepare to meet your new favourite food.

The health benefits of staple Lebanese ingredients such as chick peas have been well known since ancient times, and classics dishes such as hommus and falafel showcase their healthy qualities to the fullest.

 

Fresh ingredients

Lebanese cuisine has always utilised fresh local ingredients, ensuring that you get the maximum nutritional benefits from every bite. Using fruits, vegetables and herbs from the local area also minimises the impact on the environment as there are no resource intensive transportation efforts required.

Spices not sauces

The mouth-watering taste of all those delicious Lebanese dishes comes from carefully selected herbs and spices rather than heavy sauces. This ensures that each dish has the maximum amount of flavour but the minimum amount of saturated fats.

The use of olive oil

Instead of cooking with butter, cream or other dairy products, Lebanese food relies heavily on olive oil, which can do wonders to lower cholesterol, control blood sugar levels and boost overall heart health. While olive oil is still relatively high in fat content, its mono-unsaturated fatty acids make it extremely good for you.

Low in starch

Unlike most western cultural diets, Lebanese food uses very few starchy ingredients. You are far more likely to find a small serving of rice or lentils as opposed to huge helpings of potatoes, noodles or highly processed white bread.

Lots of lamb

In Lebanon the meat of choice has always been lamb, which is considered a lot healthier an option than red meat. Grass-fed lamb is high in protein, niacin, selenium, vitamin B12, zinc and phosphorous, as well as a fantastic source of essential fatty acids.

vegetarian pizza toppings

A focus on vegetarian options

Lebanese food has a huge focus on wholly vegetarian meals. Some delicious vegetarian pizza toppings we use include mushrooms, olives, feta, haloumi and jalapeños.

Helping herbs

The herbs used in Lebanese cooking are not only fresh; they are also extremely good for you. Mint freshens your breath, aids your digestion and has been found to assist everything from weight loss to preventing headaches, while parsley is high in vitamins K, C and A as well as folate, iron and copper.

Ancient and magical spices

Fresh za’atar is one of Lebanon’s most widely used spices and it has been linked to all manner of health benefits. From being touted as a cure for leprosy in Biblical times to its cancer fighting properties and the widely held belief that it helps to boost your brain power, za’atar is a super food to say the least.

Two words – chick peas!

The health benefits of chick peas have been well known since ancient times and Lebanese staples such as hommus and falafel showcase their healthy qualities to the fullest. Apart from being high in protein, chick peas are full of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, iron and vitamin K, which together help to strengthen your bones, lower blood pressure, fight cancer, reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol.

There’s something for everyone too, from simple classics like the Margarita ($12), Hawaiian ($13) or our Pepperoni Burst ($14) which are all stacked with toppings and loaded with flavour; to more gourmet pizza options like The Orient ($17) or our Pirate’s Catch ($18).

We also offer a range of vegetarian and vegan options (with our Daiya vegan cheese) that are tastier and better value than anything else you’ll find out there. Try our Vegan’s Paradise ($17) or Vegelicious ($16)

None of our pizzas are over $18. Plus we have a bunch of specials running each and every week. Check them out here.

10 Awesomely Ridiculous Pizza Cutters

There’s an art to cutting pizza. Getting every slice nice and symmetrical is tough, especially when you’re racing against the clock during a rush on a busy Friday night. At OOSHMAN , we use traditional commerical pizza cutters which are fast and efficient, but like most kitchen utensils you don’t have to look very hard to find some whacky alternatives for use at home. Here are 10 awesomely ridiculous pizza cutters we found floating around the internet.

There are some whacky people out there who have designed some awesomely ridiculous pizza cutters. Here are some of our favourites.

Guitar Pizza Cutter

Rock ‘n’ roll and pizza together at last. This guitar pizza cutter is for the music lovers out there. It features a traditional stainless steel pizza wheel with the beechwood handle shaped like an electric guitar. You can even get them engraved with a personal message.

Dr Who Pizza Cutter

The sea of Dr. Who-related merch out there is pretty much endless, this Sonic Screwdriver pizza cutter can attest to that. It features 9-inch pizza cutter that is officially licensed and makes sound effects while you slice.

Moped Pizza Cutter

This Moped Pizza Cutter features two cutting wheels as well, but you’ll also find a little kickstand nestled underneath so that when you’re done cutting you can just stand it upright.

Scissor Pizza Cutter

For those not interested in traditional wheel cutters, this pair of pizza cutting scissors are for you. They even feature a plastic base that allows you to quickly pick up and place each slice easily, for quick and clean pizza distribution.
