The banana was the main sticking point for me as well, but with all the other stuff, I can’t imagine you’d get much banana flavor coming through, just a sweetness and texture.
This just made me remember my brother used to do the thing Mr Rogers recommended: putting a slice of American cheese around a banana. There’s gotta be some weird food chemistry at work here if banana + cheese pops up multiple places…
Wow, you are sending me down quite the rabbit hole here…
Fries seems pretty sensible actually. Pizza fries are already a thing. Tossing some straight on top of a pie I think could add a nice crispy element to the topside, and as someone who loves the crust, more crispy starchy stuff is no issue. Saw pics with fries and hot dogs, and that seems like an unusual sausage flavor to add to a pizza, but I wouldn’t turn my nose up to a slice or two. Calling that American style is definitely fair.
At first, I was less down with peanuts, thinking of that as the sole topping on a pizza. Too different a texture. But then seeing it called African pizza with all the curry, bananna, and ham, now that gives me more of a peanut stew vibe, and other than it basically subbing bananna in place of the carrot, African peanut stew is something I am totally down for. I just may need to make one of these up!
The banana pizza is generally considered to have originated from a 70s casserole dish, known as Flying Jacob.
How and why people decided to put it on pizza i still wonder, but everyone has their own tastes.
On the other hand, pizzas with fries are bangin. Theyre usually put on top of a Kebabpizza. Goated hangover food, would recommend trying at least once.
Wow, the original casserole makes the pizza version sound better! 😁
It should make sense that the spread of quick and odd casseroles was a worldwide thing. None of us were spared these strange concoctions.
The kebab pizza does sound pretty amazing. It’s not that kebabs are hard to find in America, at least in most places I’ve been, but I’m always surprised they aren’t more mainstream. With all the mega chain fast food we have, none of it is as good as your random kebab, it’s not any faster, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the kebab was at least marginally healthier, more filling, and has less weird stuff in it. It’s not like a kebab is much different component-wise than a typical burger, and it’s just as, if not moreso customizable.
Many countries have an American style pizza, and I’ve never seen one that you’d ever get served in America. But the Hawaiian pizza seems to be the same everywhere. Then of course, if I were asked to make an American style pizza I don’t know where I’d even start.
I bet we can find out whose spreading this fake news if we Sweden the pot.
I hear Sweden puts bannana, curry, and ham on pizza. I like some weird foods, but I haven’t tried that yet…
Simultaneously?
Now that I think about it though, pizza with a curry sauce could be really good. No thanks on the banana though.
Baltimore has palak paneer pizza. Squeaky paneer + mozzarella? Yes yes yes.

My town has pizza places that make curry pizza. Your instinct is correct: it’s amazing!
You forgott peanuts and french fries, or chips as it’s really are named.

There are a few places in the US that put spaghetti on pizza… Yeah tried it, yeah it’s nasty.
Sounds…moist… 😑
AMERICAN STYLE!
