pizza toppings

The chip shop, about 300 yards from here is owned by Bangladeshis.
I absolutely love their hot and spicy pizza which is basically minced beef loads of chillies, onions, tomatoes and cheese on a pizza.

We get the medium one plus a bag of chips after a few beers at the micropub about 800 yards away.

I don't have a tomato base, just cheese. Toppings include tuna, onions, mushrooms, anchovies, sweetcorn, garlic, oregano and black pepper.
I also make something that I suppose is a cross between pizza and garlic bread - or perhaps not! A thin base liberally brushed with chilli oil, a scattering of grated cheese, thinly sliced onion, and loads of chopped garlic and sliced green chillies.

It is interesting that so many countries have their own version of flatbreads with toppings, which is , I suppose, what a pizza is.
When we lived in the UAE, we couldn’t really get pizza, but we could get lamacun, a Turkish bread base with minced lamb, or Manakish, the Lebanese version, with zataar. And there many more I can think of around the world...Morocco, South America, india etc. So I suppose that it is not surprising that the variety of toppings has grown so far away from the basic Italian pizza.
Wordsworth, I started to think about this when I read of your Bangladeshi pizzas, which sound lush, by the way!
