So a couple weeks ago I had the insane curiosity to try pesto on pizza, which is fine per se.
But rather than ordering from my usual place, since I was in a hurry, I got a frozen small pizza and air fried it with jarred pesto on top. I also added leftover anchovies that needed to go.
It wasn't horrible, but the pesto was too much and overpowered everything else. The anchovies paired with the pesto made it pretty salty too.
Edible but not an experiment I'd repeat, and doesn't look appetizing either.
Lemme know what you think.

Pesto pizza can be great. This looks terrible. Guilty as sin
I’m conflicted. This does land in “dressed flatbread, not pizza” jurisdiction, but the flatbread itself looks so good.
Mistrial.
It looks like a sanitary pad used by Shrek’s wife. To jail. Forever.
The presentation is a no for me, dawg…
That pairing is too much imo
even ignoring the pesto, that aint a pizza to begin with. is there a subreddit for flatbread crimes that we can report this to?

I’m concerned about your anchovies, I almost thought they were slightly beaten up and cooked worms. Does not look good, guilty for presentation and overseasoning.
Try the pesto pizza from L’Industrie in NYC. Bring an extra pair of underwear for when you prematurely ejaculate after the first bite
Y’all are so disrespectful. OP was nice enough to share this photo of the Loch Ness monster’s turd and this is how you act.
Okay my guy, try this again but with flatbread *not frozen* , about a third of that amount of pesto, fresh mozzarella and basil. And THAT will be delicious. What you have here is way too much pesto (by a long shot 😅) and you don’t have anything complimenting that flavor. Pesto is very strong, it’s really good, but really strong; so less is more. And then you gotta add the creamy and the crisp to elevate that flavor further so it’s not the sole focus. Anchovies is just another strong flavor with a strong flavor 😅😭

Probably tastes great, looks narsty, wouldnt insult pizza by calling it that
You had so many chances to not do this, OP, and yet you embraced a life of crime!
You’ve got way too much pesto there. While I love anchovies myself, this is not a pairing I would have gone with.
There is too much pesto, but that’s not a crime. Im voting innocent.
Edit: oh hell no I thought that was pulled beef. Lock his ass up.
I love pizza, I love pesto, I love steak…
I’m trying this fo sho.
Your only real mistake was using way too much pesto. Aim for a drizzle instead of full coverage next time. This is a civil infraction at worst
It would turn out better if you put the Pesto on when its almost done instead of before you add it to the oven/air fryer. I like anchovies and sardines so that is ok w me. Pesto has a lot of oil in it so if you put it on first it sorta melts and goes all over so it doesn’t look great and you don’t get the optimal taste. I’ve watched enough pizzas cooked to have picked this up over time.
That is a flatbread. Not a pizza. Therefore despite your apparent intention to commit a pizza crime, we cannot convict you of said crime, as you never actually made a pizza here.
There may be a court out there that can take up this case, but unless new evidence is presented I declare this case outside of this court’s jurisdiction and is hereby dismissed.
Horrible. Jail.
Snot is for tissues, not pizza. Guilty.
Looks good to me. Not a crime. Lord, I am a sinner.
I thought some psychopath put Dubai chocolate on top of pizza dough
Pesto pizza isn’t a crime, but it needs less, replacing the main sauce. Tried couple of toppings with it (pepperoni,ham, mushrooms, olives) and it was ok.
OP, are you attempting a plea bargain?
Bro cosa ti ha fatto pensare che aggiungere tutte quelle acciughe potesse essere una buona idea?
Sir, someone puked on your pizza
Someone had their baby vomit, then shat all over that dough, and they tried passing it off as pizza. THIS IS BLASPHEMY!
Straight to the electric chair!
anchovie and pesto. im in. add a little less pesto and a bit of ricotta to balance it out
It looks like somebody puked on your pizza…
Thought you had carne asada instead of anchovies at first and I thought to myself “I gotta try that”
Jesus god
Halfway decent pesto and beef flatbread, not a pizza though lol
Not guilty
But also jury nullification because Pesto and anchovies are honestly my guilty pleasure pizza. Some tomato or pineapple to balance the salt… It’s like a forbidden caprese flatbread.
Now I’m hungry… Time to go get the “is she pregnant” side eye at the pizza place again yessir
Looks really good, but there’s a hair in there photo 2 😂

Not guilty. My eats pizza with pesto and anchovies, too. Kinda unorthodox, but not a crime.
It looks great. I’d do it without anchovies tho. Remember, pesto is a very oily sauce.
That ain’t pizza that’s flatbread
