Dipping pizza in ketchup should be normal

r/

Pizza is usually tomato based. Ketchup is normally tomato based. I really don’t see why more people don’t think to do it. It enhances the flavor, and in my opinion is on par with dipping the pizza in ranch or something.
Mustard is also acceptable.

    Do you put ketchup on your spaghetti because they’re both tomato based as well?

    Ketchup has its place in the world and it’s not with pizza.

    Take my upvote.

    But like…why? Like even though the idea of mustard on pizza makes me gag, it’s at least a properly different flavor. Why would you want a sweeter stronger tomato based flavor on something that is already covered in tomato sauce? Just sounds disgusting.

    Getting my upvote at least.

    Ketchup makes everything delicious, but it also makes everything taste like ketchup. It overpowers most things.

    ^(Let’s normalize not having to normalize things. I like it when people like what they like.)

    ok, I get your ‘its all tomatoes’ idea, but its just too much tomato at that point, just eat a tomato. And what kind of pizza are we talking here because im not dipping my bacon ranch pizza in ketchup or mustard. Are we talking meat lovers or burger pizza…

    but given how specific this needs to be to work for the masses, saying it works for all pizza is an unpopular opinion, take my upvote.

    I think with a frozen pizza or a pizza I’ve made at home, dipping the crust in ketchup is fine. I’ve seen Italians dip pizza crust in olive oil from the table so it’s not like it’s a hard and fast rule.

    I would never ask for ketchup at an Italian restaurant though, or at my Italian friend’s house.

    Maybe don’t eat shitty pizza so you don’t have to dip it in anything

    Hmmm. Do you put ketchup on your spaghetti? Lasagna? Bruschetta? Mozzarella sticks?

    Your opinion is beyond unpopular.

  13. Anaxamenes Avatar

    I don’t eat pizza of such quality that Ketchup would improve upon the flavor.

    I have a firm policy of not giving a shit what people eat. Top your pizza with toothpaste and crumbled urinal cakes, don’t care.

    As someone who cannot go to a fast food restaurant without getting a handful of ketchup packets (except taco bell obviously it’s fire sauce there), i could NEVER put that on my pizza

    I like dipping my pizza rolls in ketchup bc they come out hotter than fuckin lava and the cold ketchup helps hahah. Wouldn’t do a slice of pizza personally but I can see where you’re coming from

    I have heard this opinion before from people in the middle east. usually they’ve just never had good pizza…. and when they do, they admit pizza should not have ketchup.

    my guess is op hasn’t had good pizza.

  32. _lefthook Avatar

    I mean, just add it on top of the pizza. I almost always add sriracha to mine lol

    I raise you, also get a pizza with cherry tomato on it and then also include marinara sauce

    Ketchup on pizza sounds like something my 8 year old would do.

    I like ketchup as much as the next person, but it does not belong on pizza and mustard definitely does not.

  37. vercertorix Avatar

    Why can’t I upvote this more, for being bad. Dipping it in more sauce because it wasn’t quite enough I get. I even like the garlic sauce. But ketchup.

    When it comes to food though, people can mix whatever they want. Stuff a watermelon full of taco meat, ghost pepper ice cream, gourmet steak served with a corn dog as a side, if someone wants to eat it, whatever.

    As an American, please stop embarrassing us, I don’t know if the English dip their pizza in HP sauce or the Australians dip theirs in vegemite, but if they did it would be a black mark on their culinary history. I know I should usually “let people like what they like” but this is wrong.

    The disgust I felt reading this.

    I was dating this guy for like 2 months, and one night we got pizza from a pretty fancy italian place. He had some leftovers and brought them back to my place after. The moment we walked into my apt, this guy set the pizza box down on the coffee table, walked straight into the kitchen, grabbed the ketchup, came back out and drizzled a few zigzags on the pizza before taking a bite.

    I stood there in shock.

    I broke up with him as soon as he was done eating and told him he had to leave. I don’t regret it, and I’d do it again.

    Ketchup adds too much tomato for me personally, especially if the pizza has a tomato based sauce. I love tomatoes but I don’t wanna just eat tomato with thin bread and cheese basically

    Used to do this in highschool cuz the pizza was horrible and the ranch looked and smelled like it would give you the plague. Idk if I could ever do it again, but I can’t hate. 

    Also, apples are a good pizza topping.

    I’ll dip my crust in ketchup sometimes but the ultimate dip for pizza is McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce . Try it. Phenomenal.

    Well ketchup is tomato, sugar, and vinegar, tomato sauce is typically tomato, sugar and an assortment of other spices. Really, all you’re adding to the experience is vinegar, would you dip pizza into vinegar?

    I thought I heard this was popular in Brazil. In any case, I’ve had a “cheeseburger pizza”, probably from Papa Johns. It certainly had ketchup on it, and that’s the kind of thing I’d put even more ketchup on. Man, I’m getting hungry.

  62. NoMoreStorage Avatar

    It is normal in romania. Probably other balkan countries too. Its…alright…but it depends what you have on your pizza imo. Sometimes the toppings just taste amazing, and you wouldn’t want to mute them

  63. Seadevil07 Avatar

    Candy is usually sugar/corn syrup based. Ketchup is normally sugar/corn syrup based. I really don’t see why more people don’t put ketchup on candy. /s

    Hey I don’t agree but I also didn’t agree with ranch pizza either until I tried it. That being said, I will not be trying this

    If your pizza is so lacking in flavor that you need condiments just to make it better… Then I worry for you OP.

    The fact that you doubled down and casually said it should be “on par” with dipping it in ranch, as if that’s not criminal as well, tells me all I need to know.

    This is absurd. I find ketchup people tend to do this to bland foods because of ketchup/vinegar addiction. Rice, eggs, potatoes, anything that’s white and bland gets ketchup.

    Very similar to hot sauce addiction.
