I was playing Cyberpunk yesterday, and best girl Judy asked me what I liked on my pizza. I passed a speech check (I think on Body/Strength) to say "A&A. Artichoke & Avocados." and some other text I forget.

Now I'm wondering if such a pizza exists, and would it be any good? And what else would go good on it?

I have had artichokes on pizza before. They work. I feel like avocado wouldn't, though. Like it would burn up or dry out or something.

Granted, it's Cyberpunk. They get their pizza from a place called Buck A Slice and everything is crappy in their world. And yet, that pizza sounds good. AND I had to pass a speech check to say it.

The game was made by the Polish so maybe that has something to do with it? The game is set in Southern California but it doesn't feel quite right. It's also not their (CD Projekt Red) world, it comes from the board/tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2013 which came out in the 1980s. Which was made by an American. So I don't think that matters.

Anyway: would you try this pizza?

Yup and would eat it again! I used to work at a place that would bake a cheese pizza in a stone oven, then set the pizza under heating lamps. Immediately after that, those 2 ingredients would get tossed on top. They also did other veggies like broccoli or zucchini.

The veggies were already pre-steamed or briefly baked, and would get kept in a walk-in fridge or in cold drawers in the kitchen. Avocados were freshly cut up, and still kinda firm (not super ripe, but edible) so the heating lamp wouldn't make them weird after too long.

The heating lamps do the magic on about 10 minutes, the the pizza is sold by the slice.

I will end this with a controversial suggestion: this type of pizza belongs with a side of ranch.

Is ranch with pizza that controversial? Maybe outside the US. It's a perfectly fine dip. Just, don't ever try to say it's healthy (I don't think anybody says that).

Lol I also hope no one is out there suggesting it's healthy either! Some people I've interacted with have gotten pretty repulsed by seeing ranch as a pizza dip, going as far to insist it is strictly for salads. A weird hill to try and die on...

I've had ranch on hot dogs. It's not bad. Terrible for you health wise but it's not a bad flavor!
