BLT Pizza

On VH1’s “Totally Obsessed,” I showed that I eat a pizza called BLT pizza. A lot of people have given huge reactions to this pizza.  People have been giving me the credit for making up this pizza.  The fact is that I learned of this pizza, before Ninja Turtles even entered my life.  I would like to now share where I learned of BLT pizzas.

The year was 1987, living in Michigan we had a few pizza places that I would go to with my family.  One of which hired my dad to do art work for the place.  So we’d go and get our pizza there, every now and then.  It was not our normal pizza place, but their pizza was good.  I would eat pepperoni pizzas as my favorite back then, as I was very picky on what I wanted on my pizza.

The only pizzas that I would eat was pepperoni and cheese,  Ham and Pineapple  or just a plan cheese pizza.  So when they brought out the BLT pizza for free samples, I turned my nose up to it.  I thought it looked gross, it had tomatoes on it, and mayo on a pizza?  This was not something I wanted to try.  Though my dad, sister and brother did try it and found that they liked it.  So when we would go to this pizza place my family would order a pepperoni pizza and a BLT pizza.

One day while there, they had the BLT free samples up again.  My dad convince me to try it, and as much as I felt against this idea I did try this pizza.  That one small bite made me a fan. It was nothing like I pictured.  The tastes were totally new and good!

With this cut from BLT pizzas I learned I could make my own, I also learned that I liked salad on my pizza.  I would eat my pizza at school with the salad and at home I would add my own stuff to it.  Ranch and lettuce works really well on a pizza.  But this is not how I eat my pizzas all the time.  My favorite pizza is Ham and Pineapple to this day.

There are at least two pizza places that I go to, which do have BLT pizzas on their menu.  Pizza Connection, though their BLT pizza did not win me over when I tried it,  and the Green Lantern, which does not include their pizza sauce on it.  I really do like the BLT over at the Green Lantern, which is a rare treat for me.

Is there any pizza that you really enjoy, yet other people find it weird?  And if so, can you find your pizza on any menus at local pizza places?  Please comment below and let us know about your weird pizzas!
