Yes folks, there is such a food here in the UK, mainly in Scotland but I am sure it can be bought elsewhere. I mean, I've heard of battered fish (obviously), battered potato cakes (patties) and battered Mars bars but BATTERED PIZZA?
I thought my husband was winding me up earlier when he was telling me about them...but it's true!
Have you ever eaten such a delicacy?

That would be like putting some cornmeal on a pizza and sticking it in oil, kind of defeats the purpose. I don't think it'd taste good and it wouldn't be healthy. Not that pizza is. No I've never heard of it but it does sound interesting. Have you ever tasted any now that you know or are you planning too?

You know now that I think of it it sounds like a strombolli I think is the word for it. If so I've had them before and they aren't the most delicious things! Oh no I don't even want to a big pizza covered in batter!

I am in the UK but have never came across battered pizza.
I have to say that it is not something that I would go for just the idea of it puts me off eating it.
Think I will stick to my vegetarian pizza.

Good for you! The only pizza I can eat is the margherita, does that count as vegetarian? Hope so!

The state and county fairs here have managed to batter and deep fry pretty much every food on earth. My delicate little stomach really doesn't like the thought...

I really don't like battered pizza it is horrible. I only like battered fish or battered sausages. I usually only get chips from the chipshop and only seldomly get fish or anything else.

I've noticed the further north you go the more things get battered! It's true! I once saw pies displayed in a chippy and all of them were battered. I had no idea what was in the pies so never bought one!

"Heart Attack on a Plate" it is often referred to lol. Batter makes me feel sick at the best of times but when its around fish I can just about tolerate it..but pizza..dunno about that!

Yes, I think I saw a Pizza Hut advert for those. It's funny how shop-bought, frozen pizza just isn't the same as fresh pizza bought in restaurants and the like. Best one I ever had was in Las Vegas! Not surprisingly, it was enormous so I had to donate some to hubby. Our pizzas are nowhere near as big in the UK but the people are becoming bigger as they don't cook as much and buy everything from take-away kebabs to fish and chips. In one respect it is great that the UK has such a diverse population as it's reflected in the food outlets...although I'm not a great lover of what I class as "foreign" food. Greek food is about the best I would say but kebabs over in Greece (in my case Corfu on holiday) are better than the ones over here. Don't know why that is; it's just a fact!

"Battered Pizza" doesn't sound appetizing does it although they can be called Pizza Crunch from what I can gather, which doesn't sound much better does it lol!

There's a place that makes something called a Ponzaratta. It's basically like a deep fred hot pocket pizza but BETTER! I haven't had one in years as they are pricey for my budget when you get the deluxe & have 5 people to feed. But this is the place we go to when we have the extra cash. It's a small place but it's very FAMOUS for their Ponzaratta's! http://www.jimmysgrottopizza.com/

We had battered fish and chips earlier, our Friday evening treat. They were yummy! We have such willpower as the shop is at the corner of our street. Sometimes the smell is amazing. Glad they don't do the pizza but they are known to batter virtually everything else lol.

No, can you share with me what exactly it is..I'm always up for a good pizza just as long as there is no frying involved..I eliminated fried food from my diet over 2 years ago..Its just not healthy. Thanks Janie...J

It tends to be a Scottish phenomenon as the further north you travel the more they batter stuff. Search Scotland and Batter on the same line and you will be amazed at what comes up lol.
