We had mango dessert pizza in one of the local pizza chains and it was good. I believe it was mango cooked in sugar and water. On your crust you can put condensed milk and grated cheese, not mozzarella though, I think cheddar would be good, not the sharp kind though.
Hawaiian pizza has fruit and it's good.

I have heard of people adding pineapples to their pizza but I have never tried this and can't imagine that I would like the taste even though I like pineapple as I am a big chicken about trying anything different like that . But that is the only kind of fruit I have ever heard of anyone adding to their pizza .

I totally forgot pineappl! that's one of the most popular toppings. Also tomoatoes are technically a fruit.
So you've never had hawaiian pizza? Ham and pineapple? I would have thought that was one of the most popular pizzas. You should try it! It's good.
Try everything once I say!

Well believe it or not, on the weekend I went to an all you can eat pizza and pasta joint. On the menu was a chicken, bacon and banana pizza! I tasted it and it was really good! Didn't taste weird at all. I recommend making one for yourself!

you want to get technical, tomatos are fruit and not vegitables. so most pizzas do in fact come with fruits. we just don't realize it.

haha i was waiting for some one to say that!
Hey doesn't fruit go well with cheese? I've had fruit cheese before.
The more I think about it, the more I think mango would taste ok on pizza. I might try it!

I love fruit pizza made with a cream cheese base and fresh summer fruits like strawberries and kiwi. It is a nice dessert. I dont have any recipes handy, but a great resource is allrecipes.com.

Pineapple is the only fruit that I have tried on a pizza and liked it. I tried Watermelon on a pizza once while I was working at Papa Johns, the texture turned out horrible and the watermelon's flavor was overpowered by the pizza. I'm not sure if there are any other fruits that taste good on pizza other than pineapple.

The only fruit besides pineapple that I've ever had, that is NOT a dessert pizza had fig jam instead of sauce, goat cheese and basil... it was on a crispy, thin crust and delicious!

Its not wrong but I dont like eat pizza with fruits like califonia. I think that does not combine sweet fruit with pizza that is salt. I like a lot flavors of pizza but no one with fruits. Would be better eat fruit after eat pizza. hehehe

All I can say, that a real Italian would never put fruits onto the pizza.

I like pineapple on pizza. No, it's not wrong to have fruits on it although I haven't tried any pizza with other fruits! Only had a salad with pizza.
