The DISH: Dill pickle pizza

Posted

Pizza is a perfect template for what some might call bold and adventurous culinary experiments, and what others might refer to as cheap gimmicks. The basic building blocks of bread, cheese and sauce give way to potential ingredient combinations that are far too numerous to even attempt to list. You can technically do just about anything with pizza, and restaurants are finally taking advantage of that.

This time around, the unorthodox pie we are dealing with comes from Sleepwalker Spirits in REO Town.  Enter the dill pickle pizza, an oddity that was subject of a heated debate on social media. For many, the inclusion of pineapple is too offensive for a pizza. Imagine what they would think about this? 

Pickle slices are, of course, the star attraction, as is a white dill-based sauce in place of the typical marinara.  Each individual pickle is placed along the pizza evenly like they were little slices of pepperoni. Before biting in, I marveled at how ridiculous this concoction seemed to be. But I was pleasantly surprised. The dill pickle pizza is just as every bit delicious as it is goofy. Think fried pickle spears — this pizza has that same vibe. It’s great pub food. The hot cheese blends with the pickle slices, and that tangy white sauce goes perfectly with the crispy pizza dough. 

If you are feeling brave, or just looking for something totally off the wall, I recommend the dill pickle pizza. Even if you don’t like it, at the very least it will make for a great story or conversation piece with your friends.
