Pizza is by far the most beloved comfort food around the world, but this traditional Italian dish is often customized and made with popular local ingredients. Check out some of the strangest pizza toppings that people use around the world.

Costa Rica: Coconut

Coconut pizza sounds exotic and strange and if you ever go to Costa Rica you’ll probably get the chance to try it, alongside shrimps.

Brazil: Green Pea

Topping your pizza with healthy veggies like spinach, tomatoes, peppers or olives is a great way to make this comfort food a bit healthier. In Brazil, however, using green peas as a pizza topping is not at all unusual or strange.

Japan: Mayo And Potatoes

Japan is home to many strange foods, including a lot of crazy pizza toppings. Potatoes and mayonnaise are a rather popular food combination in Japan, and it’s also a common pizza topping.

Sweden: Banana Curry Pizza

If you thought that adding pineapple to pizza is strange, wait until you go to Sweden and find banana curry pizzas in nearly every bakery. Swedes love eating their pizza with slices of banana and curry, and apparently, they find this combination extremely tasty.
